Invisalign® Teeth Straightening Cincinnati, OH

When teeth are straight and properly aligned, it is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it is more comfortable and results in better oral health. A misaligned bite, gaps, and crooked teeth can lead to more significant dental issues that are painful and require expensive procedures to repair. Our team of board-certified dental professionals is pleased to use Invisalign clear teeth aligners for our patients in Cincinnati, OH. Made custom for your teeth and designed to meet your aesthetic goals, Invisalign clear aligners are more comfortable and attractive than traditional metal braces. Being able to remove them makes brushing, flossing, and eating much easier. If you're excited about the idea of getting a straighter, more attractive smile, schedule a visit with an Invisalign dentist at MINT dentistry. Our premier facility in Cincinnati, OH utilizes cutting-edge dental techniques and technology, like Invisalign treatment, to help you obtain an attractive, healthy smile you'll be proud of.

You may require a dental alignment for various reasons, such as genetics, losing a tooth or several teeth, sucking your thumb as a child, or a severe injury to the face. The misalignment of your teeth can lead to other oral health problems, like a bad bite (dental malocclusion), abnormal enamel wear, difficulty chewing and speaking, plus toothaches, and jaw pain. If your MINT dentist sees signs or symptoms of one of these issues during your annual exam, we might recommend Invisalign aligners.

Invisalign treatment is a good choice for teens and adults in Cincinnati, OH who would like straighter teeth without the hassle and appearance of traditional braces. While the aligners do need to be worn at least 20 hours a day, they can be removed so you can brush your teeth and eat, plus for special events and playing sports. Far more discreet than traditional braces, other people usually will not be able to tell that you are wearing your Invisalign clear aligners.

Following your initial consultation, digital x-rays will be taken by your MINT dentistry team so that your first Invisalign aligners can be created. Once they are sent to our office, we will contact you to receive your first aligners and instructions from one of our skilled doctors. You need to wear your aligners at least 20 – 22 hours each day for the process to be effective, with the goal of only taking them out to brush your teeth and eat. Over time, you should switch to the next set of aligners as they can continue to move your teeth closer to proper alignment. You should schedule follow-up appointments as recommended so our Invisalign provider can review your progress and you can get more digital impressions taken so new sets of aligners can be made. The length of time that you will need to wear Invisalign aligners will vary based on your starting bite and your specific goals, but most patients undergo the Invisalign process for approximately 10 – 18 months.

Once your bite is aligned after completing your last set of trays, it is imperative to keep your teeth in their new position. Invisalign Vivera® retainers help to hold your teeth in place using the same comfortable material as your aligner trays. Each retainer is custom-made at the Invisalign dental laboratory based on digital x-rays taken once your treatment is complete. Your Invisalign provider will tell you when to use your retainer and provide instructions for care once it is sent to our MINT dentistry office in Cincinnati, OH. Your dentist will continuously assess your bite and alignment during your dental exams in case of any movement.

Depending on your insurance provider, a portion of the cost of your Invisalign clear aligners may be covered. We will get more information on your benefits and then calculate your personal cost. MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH takes many different payment methods for patients who don't have dental insurance. During your initial consultation, MINT dentistry’s support staff can estimate your treatment costs and ways to make your Invisalign treatment fit your budget, including low-interest medical financing and flexible payment plans. It's important to keep in mind that a gorgeous smile is part of a happy, healthy life. We are devoted to helping you find an affordable way to get sexy teeth.
