Invisalign® Teeth Straightening Cincinnati, OH

Straight, aligned teeth mean more than an attractive smile — they help maintain your oral health and comfort. Crooked teeth and an improper bite can cause long-term conditions that are painful and possibly expensive to fix. Our MINT dentistry professionals are proud to offer the Invisalign^® system of clear teeth aligners for individuals in Cincinnati, OH. Custom-made for your teeth and designed to meet your goals, Invisalign clear aligners are more attractive and comfortable compared to traditional metal orthodontics. Since you can remove them, you'll find eating and cleaning much easier. If you want more information on getting a smile that's both healthy and beautiful, set up an orthodontic consultation with an Invisalign provider at MINT dentistry. Our modern facility in Cincinnati, OH utilizes cutting-edge dental tools, techniques, and technology, including Invisalign treatment, so you can get an attractive, vibrant smile you'll want to share with the world.

Thumb-sucking as a child, lost teeth, or injury to the face can all impact the alignment of your teeth. Misaligned teeth may cause other oral health problems, like a bad bite (dental malocclusion), ground-down enamel, trouble speaking and chewing, as well as jaw pain and toothaches. If your MINT dental team notices one of these concerns during your annual examination, we might suggest Invisalign clear aligners treatment.

Clear Invisalign aligners can be good for both adults and teens in Cincinnati, OH who would like to improve their smile but without the appearance and hassle of traditional metal orthodontics. Even though Invisalign aligners should be in for at least 20 hours a day, they can be taken out to brush your teeth and eat, as well as for special events and playing sports. More discreet than traditional braces, most people won't be able to tell that you are wearing your Invisalign clear aligners.

Before creating your first set of Invisalign aligners, we will take digital impressions of your teeth at our MINT dentistry office. When they are ready, you will come back to get your first set of aligners and instructions from one of our skilled doctors. You will need to wear your aligners at least 20 – 22 hours each day 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 shift your bite into their proper position. You should schedule follow-up appointments every 4 – 6 weeks so our Invisalign dentist can evaluate your tooth movement and you can have more digital impressions taken so new sets of aligners can be made. The length of time that you will use your aligners will depend on your starting bite and your specific goals. Most individuals undergo Invisalign treatment for an average of 10 – 18 months.

Once you've reached your alignment goals with your Invisalign aligners, it's important to maintain that alignment while your gums and jaw adjust to the new placement of your teeth, which is why we'll likely recommend retainers. 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. Each retainer is custom-made at the Invisalign dental laboratory from digital impressions 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 office in Cincinnati, OH. Our team will continuously monitor your alignment and bite at your dental exams.

Invisalign treatments may be partially covered by your dental insurance. We will get more information on your specific policy coverage and calculate your remaining bill. MINT dentistry in Cincinnati, OH is proud to accept a variety of payment methods to cover your out-of-pocket expenses or if you aren't using insurance. At your initial consultation, MINT dentistry’s support staff can go over your estimated bill and how we can help make your Invisalign care more affordable, including flexible payment plans and medical financing. It is important to remember that a gorgeous smile is part of a happy, healthy life. MINT dentistry is dedicated to helping you afford the smile you want.
