Invisalign® Teeth Straightening in Brentwood, MD

You can improve your oral health and properly align your teeth so you feel comfortable with your smile when you get an Invisalign clear aligner at MINT dentistry. Dental malocclusion (a bad bite), crooked teeth, and gaps can lead to long-term issues that may become painful and possibly expensive to fix. Our team of board-certified dental professionals are pleased to offer Invisalign clear aligners for our patients in Brentwood, MD. Custom made to fit comfortably and meet your goals, Invisalign clear aligners are more comfortable and attractive than metal orthodontics. Being able to remove them makes brushing, flossing, and eating much easier. If you're excited about the idea of getting a smile that's both healthy and beautiful, set up a consultation with an Invisalign dentist at MINT dentistry. Our premier practice in Brentwood, MD utilizes state-of-the-art dental tools, techniques, and technology, such as Invisalign treatment, so you can obtain an attractive, healthy smile you'll love sharing.

Different factors can impact the alignment of your teeth. Losing a tooth or several teeth, a traumatic injury to the lower face, sucking your thumb, and genetics are all factors. Misaligned teeth often lead to other oral health problems, such as dental malocclusion (a bad bite), abnormal enamel wear, difficulty speaking and chewing, plus toothaches and jaw pain. If your MINT dental team sees any of these problems during your dental exam, we may suggest an orthodontic treatment, like Invisalign teeth straightening.

Clear Invisalign aligners can be wonderful for teens and adults in Brentwood, MD who would like straighter teeth but without the hassle and appearance of traditional metal braces. Although your trays should be worn most of the time, they can be removed in order to eat and brush your teeth, as well as for special events and playing sports. Far more discreet than traditional braces, other people usually will not know that you are wearing your Invisalign clear aligners.

Digital x-rays taken at MINT dentistry are utilized to create your Invisalign clear aligners. Once they are sent to our office, we will contact you to get your first aligners and instructions from one of our skilled doctors. You need to use your aligners the majority of the day for the system to be effective, with the goal of taking them out only to eat and brush your teeth. In time, you will move to the second set of aligners as they gently move your teeth closer to proper alignment. You will need to plan to attend follow-up appointments as recommend so our Invisalign provider can track your progress and you can get more digital impressions taken, which will be used to make your next set of aligners. How long you will need to wear Invisalign aligners will vary based on the original position of your teeth and your goals, but most individuals undergo Invisalign treatment for about 12 months.

It’s important to take steps to ensure your teeth stay in their new position once you’re finished with your Invisalign treatment. Invisalign Vivera® retainers are specially made to hold your teeth in place after you complete your final set of aligning trays. Your retainer will be specially made for you at the Invisalign dental laboratory from digital impressions taken at our office. Your Invisalign provider will tell you how often to wear your retainer and provide instructions for care after it is sent to our MINT dentistry facility in Brentwood, MD. Our team will continue to assess your alignment and bite at your annual dental examinations to make sure your teeth don't move.

Depending on your specific dental policy, a portion of the cost for your Invisalign clear aligners might get paid for. We will get more information on your specific policy coverage and calculate your remaining bill. MINT dentistry in Brentwood, MD accepts several payment methods to cover your out-of-pocket expenses or if you aren't using insurance. During your consultation, we will estimate your treatment costs and discuss how we can help make your Invisalign care easier to afford with 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 find an affordable way to get sexy teeth.
