Invisalign® Teeth Straightening in Lilburn, GA

Having a beautiful smile can improve your overall confidence and enhance the functionality of your teeth. A bad bite, crooked teeth, and gaps can cause long-term problems that may become painful and require expensive procedures to repair. The board-certified doctors of MINT dentistry are proud to offer the Invisalign® teeth straightening system for our patients in Lilburn, GA. Compared to traditional metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners are more comfortable and attractive. Being able to remove them makes eating and cleaning much easier. If you're excited about the idea of having a straighter, more beautiful smile, please schedule an orthodontic consultation with an Invisalign dentist at MINT dentistry. Our modern facility in Lilburn, GA uses advanced dental tools, techniques, and technologies, including Invisalign treatment, so you can obtain a beautiful, dazzling smile that you'll feel proud to show off.

Your dental bite and alignment are determined by many factors: genetics, thumb-sucking as a child, missing one or several teeth, or a traumatic injury to your lower face. The misalignment of your teeth can lead to other oral health problems, including dental malocclusion (a bad bite), abnormal enamel wear, trouble chewing and speaking, toothaches, or jaw pain. If your MINT dentist notices signs or symptoms of one of these issues at your annual examination, we may recommend an orthodontic treatment, like Invisalign aligners.

Orthodontic treatments, like Invisalign aligners, can be excellent for teens and adults in Lilburn, GA who want straighter teeth but without the hassle and appearance of traditional metal braces. While you need to wear Invisalign trays most of the time, you can take them out for brushing your teeth, eating, attending special events, and playing sports. More discreet than metal braces, most people usually cannot tell that you wear your aligners.

We use digital x-rays at MINT dentistry to create your first set of Invisalign trays. Once the lab has sent your trays back to the office, we will contact you and provide information on how to use your aligners. You need to wear your aligners the majority of the day for the system to work effectively, ideally removing them only for eating and cleaning. After about two weeks, you should switch to your second set of aligners so they can continue to move your teeth into their proper position. You should schedule appointments every 4 – 6 weeks, which allows our Invisalign provider to review your treatment progress. At your follow-up appointment, we will take more digital impressions so we can make a new set of aligners for the next stage of your treatment. How long you will need to wear your aligners depends on your starting bite and your goals. Most individuals undergo Invisalign treatment for about one year.

When you have reached your Invisalign goals, it is important to ensure your teeth stay in their new position. Invisalign Vivera® retainers help to hold your teeth in place using the same comfortable material as your aligner trays. Based on digital x-rays taken after your teeth are in the right position, we will create a custom-made retainer at the Invisalign dental laboratory. Your Invisalign dentist will explain when to wear your retainer and how to care for it. During your annual dental examinations, your MINT dentist will continue to assess your bite and alignment.

Based on your policy, your dental insurance company may cover part of your costs for Invisalign orthodontics. We will confirm your specific policy coverage and calculate your costs. MINT dentistry in Lilburn, GA accepts several payment choices to cover your out-of-pocket expenses or if you don't have insurance. During your initial consultation, MINT dentistry's support staff can discuss estimates and ways to make your Invisalign treatment more affordable with flexible payment plans and medical financing. It is important to remember that a healthy smile is an investment in yourself. Our office is devoted to helping you fit your dental care and treatments into your budget.

MINT dentistry in Lilburn, GA can develop your custom Invisalign plan at your consultation and start you on the path to sexy teeth.
