Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet and convenient way to straighten your smile without traditional braces. Because the aligners are removable, you can continue eating your favorite foods and brush and floss normally throughout treatment. Invisalign can treat many common orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. At Lenz Orthodontics, we evaluate each patient individually to determine whether Invisalign or another orthodontic treatment option is the best fit for their smile.
Invisalign Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic needs. Some patients may complete treatment in about a year, while more complex cases can take longer. After evaluating your smile, Dr. Mike Lenz can provide a more personalized estimate of your treatment time.
How many hours a day should I wear Invisalign aligners?
For Invisalign treatment to work as planned, aligners generally need to be worn for about 22 hours per day. They should be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
Can Invisalign fix an overbite or crowded teeth?
Invisalign can treat many orthodontic problems, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Whether Invisalign is appropriate depends on your individual bite and tooth movements, which we evaluate during your orthodontic consultation.
Is Invisalign available for teenagers?
Yes. Invisalign can be an excellent treatment option for many teenagers who want an alternative to traditional braces. The best treatment depends on the teen’s orthodontic needs and ability to wear the aligners consistently.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of Invisalign depends on the complexity and length of treatment. Lenz Orthodontics offers flexible interest free financing and payment options, and we’ll review treatment costs and available insurance benefits with you before treatment begins.
Do I need a consultation to find out if Invisalign is right for me?
Yes. An orthodontic evaluation allows us to examine your teeth and bite and determine whether Invisalign, braces, or another treatment option is most appropriate for your needs. Lenz Orthodontics offers consultations at our Racine and Waterford offices.
