Invisalign From Your Dentist in Vernon

When the goal is to straighten your teeth with discretion, at Dr. Elwood Astleford Inc. in Vernon, we know that Invisalign may be your clear choice. A system that utilizes a variety of almost invisible, uniquely tailored and removable aligner trays, wearers can not only straighten their smile, but they can prioritize their oral health in the process.

How does the Invisalign system work? 

Invisalign uses a series of non-invasive and removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth and address bite issues. Created with 3D digital scans, each aligner is worn for an average of one to two weeks for approximately 22 hours a day. Removed only while eating and brushing and flossing teeth, aligners need to be brushed and rinsed after meals to eradicate food particles and bacteria.

How does the Invisalign system compare to traditional braces when it comes to treatment timing?

When a smile requires mild straightening or realignment, Invisalign has the potential to yield results in as little as six months. Smiles that require more complex adjustments will require a longer treatment time.

For an accurate look at the treatment time you can expect for your unique orthodontic needs, don’t hesitate to call our office for a consultation!

Is the cost of Invisalign similar to that of traditional braces?

Many patients assume that the Invisalign system comes at a higher cost than traditional band-and-bracket braces, which may not be the case. Based on your smile transformation goals, the cost of Invisalign may be similar to what you’d pay for conventional braces.
