Invisalign® Teeth Straightening in Norcross, GA

Having perfectly aligned teeth can make your mouth feel comfortable and your smile more attractive. An improper bite and crooked teeth can cause future issues that may become painful and require expensive procedures to repair. Our team of board-certified dental professionals is proud to use the Invisalign system of clear teeth aligners for individuals in Norcross, GA. Custom made to gently and comfortably meet your goals, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable and attractive compared to metal orthodontics. Being able to remove them makes brushing, flossing, and eating much easier. If you want more information on having a straighter, more attractive smile, schedule a consultation with an Invisalign provider at MINT dentistry. Our modern facility in Norcross, GA uses state-of-the-art dental techniques and technologies, including Invisalign treatment, to help you obtain a beautiful, vibrant smile you'll want to share with the world.

How aligned your teeth end up will depend on a few different factors. These include things like if you sucked your thumb as a child, if you are missing one or several teeth, hereditary traits, and if you ever had a traumatic injury on the lower part of your face. Misaligned teeth can lead to other oral health problems, like a bad bite (dental malocclusion), abnormal enamel wear, trouble chewing and speaking, as well as toothaches and jaw pain. If your MINT dental team sees any of these problems during your dental exam, we may recommend Invisalign clear aligners.

Invisalign treatment can be ideal for both adults and teens in Norcross, GA who would like straighter teeth without the appearance and hassle of metal orthodontics. Although the aligners do need to be in most of the time, they can be removed to brush your teeth and eat, plus for special events and playing sports. More discreet than metal braces, most people usually will not know that you are wearing your aligners.

Your custom Invisalign trays will be created after your digital x-rays have been taken by one of the professionals on the MINT dentistry team. Once they are sent to our office, we will contact you to get your first set of aligners and instructions from your dentist. You will need to use your aligners every day for at least 20 hours for the system to work effectively, ideally removing them only for eating and cleaning. Over time, you will switch to your next set of aligners so they gently shift your teeth into their proper position. You will need to plan to attend appointments as recommended so our Invisalign dentist can review your tooth movement and you can have more digital impressions taken, which will be used to make your next set of aligners. How long you will use Invisalign aligners will vary based on your starting bite and your goals, but most patients undergo Invisalign treatment for about a year.

Once you’ve completed your treatment plan and gone through all of your Invisalign trays, it's important that your teeth are able to stay in their new position. Invisalign Vivera® retainers are specially made to hold your teeth in place after your complete your final set of aligning trays. Each retainer will be made custom at the Invisalign dental laboratory from digital impressions taken after your teeth are in the right position. Your Invisalign provider will speak with you about when to use your retainer and how to care for it once it is shipped to our MINT dentistry office in Norcross, GA. Your dentist will continuously monitor your alignment and bite during your yearly dental exams to ensure your teeth remain in the correct position.

A part of the cost for your Invisalign treatment might be covered, depending on what your dental benefits are. We will confirm your specific policy coverage and then calculate your personal cost.
