Invisalign® Teeth Straightening in Cleveland, OH

Straight and properly aligned teeth are more than just visually pleasing, they also benefit your oral health. An improper bite and crooked teeth can lead to bigger problems that may become painful and expensive to fix. Our team of board-certified dental professionals is pleased to use the Invisalign^® teeth straightening system for individuals in Cleveland, OH. Made custom for your teeth and designed to meet your cosmetic goals, Invisalign clear aligners are more comfortable and attractive compared to metal orthodontics. Since you can remove them, you'll find eating and cleaning much easier. If you want a beautiful, healthy smile, contact us to schedule an orthodontic consultation with an Invisalign dentist at MINT dentistry. Our modern practice in Cleveland, OH uses state-of-the-art dental technology and techniques, such as Invisalign treatment, so you can get a beautiful, healthy smile you'll love.

Several factors can determine how aligned your teeth will be, like genetics, losing a tooth or multiple teeth, sucking your thumb as a child, or a traumatic injury to your lower face. Misaligned teeth often lead to other oral health problems, including dental malocclusion (a bad bite), ground-down enamel, trouble chewing and speaking, toothaches, and jaw pain. If a member of our MINT dentistry team notices any of these problems during your annual examination, we might suggest an orthodontic treatment, like Invisalign teeth straightening.

Invisalign treatment can be great for both adults and teens in Cleveland, OH who would like to improve their smile without the hassle and appearance of metal braces. Even though your trays do need to be in most of the time, they can be taken out so you can brush your teeth and eat, plus for special events and playing sports. Far more discreet than metal braces, most people won't be able to tell that you are wearing your Invisalign clear aligners.

Your MINT team will take a series of digital x-rays following your consultation to create your first set of Invisalign trays. When they are ready, you will come back to receive your first set of aligners and instructions from your dentist. You should wear your aligners daily for at least 20 hours for the system to work, ideally removing them only for eating and cleaning. Over time, you will switch to the next set of aligners so they can continue to move your teeth closer to their final alignment. You should schedule appointments as recommended so our Invisalign dentist can monitor your treatment progress and you can have more digital x-rays taken, which will be used to make your next set of aligners. How long you will use your aligners will vary based on the original position of your teeth and your specific goals, but most patients undergo the Invisalign process for around a year.

Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, it is important to try and maintain your newly aligned teeth. Invisalign Vivera® retainers are designed with the same comfortable materials as the aligner trays to help keep your teeth in place after your treatment is complete. Your retainer will be specially made for you at the Invisalign dental lab based on digital x-rays taken after your teeth are in the right position. Your Invisalign provider will tell you when to use your retainer and how to care for it once it is shipped to our MINT dentistry facility in Cleveland, OH. Your dentist will continuously assess your alignment and bite at your annual dental exams to ensure your teeth don't move.

Some dental insurance policies may cover a portion of your Invisalign treatment. We will confirm your benefits and determine your personal cost. MINT dentistry in Cleveland, OH is pleased to accept many different payment solutions for patients who don't have dental insurance. During your initial consultation, we will discuss estimates and ways to make your Invisalign care more affordable, including flexible payment plans and medical financing. It is important to keep in mind that a confident smile is part of a happy, healthy life. Our office is devoted to helping you find an affordable way to get sexy teeth.
