As part of our comprehensive aesthetic dentistry services in Blue Bell, we proudly offer Invisalign to help our patients perfect their smiles. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, making them virtually invisible. They’re custom-designed to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions without the discomfort and restrictions associated with traditional braces.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Each aligner is worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, and you’ll switch to a new set of aligners about every two weeks. Dr. Siegel uses advanced technology to plan the precise movements of your teeth, ensuring your treatment is both effective and efficient.

Treatment time typically ranges from six months to two years, depending on the complexity of your case. Invisalign is ideal for both teens and adults looking for a more comfortable, discreet way to straighten their teeth.

The Types of Problems Invisalign Can Address

Invisalign is effective for a variety of dental issues, including:

  • Gaps between teeth
  • Crowded teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Overbites, Underbites, and Crossbites

Invisalign is also an excellent choice for patients who have completed orthodontic treatment in the past and are noticing their teeth shifting due to lack of retainer use. No matter what your dental needs are, Invisalign can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

Invisalign is suitable for most patients with mild to moderate dental issues. During your consultation, Dr. Siegel will evaluate your oral health and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If any dental issues such as cavities or gum disease are present, they will need to be addressed before beginning your orthodontic treatment.

Commitment is key to successful Invisalign treatment. You’ll need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. Not following the prescribed schedule can delay treatment and result in additional aligners, increasing both time and cost.
