Invisalign Clear Aligners – Fort Worth, TX

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that are worn 20 to 22 hours a day, gently moving your teeth into alignment. Each set is worn for about 1 to 2 weeks, bringing your teeth closer to their ideal position. You'll visit Dr. Presley every few weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligners.

Because the trays are removable, it’s easy to eat, brush, and floss just like you normally would. Invisalign is designed to be simple, comfortable, and effective, especially when guided by our expert dental team. You’ll start to see results after just a few months with complete treatment in around a year.

Who Can Invisalign Help?

Invisalign can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate misalignments in both teens and adults. So, if you are struggling with any of the orthodontic problems listed below, don’t hesitate to reach out to us to schedule your consultation!

Crowded Teeth

If your teeth overlap due to limited space, it can cause aesthetic issues and make it more difficult to brush and floss. While traditional braces were once the only option, there is now another one: Invisalign! If we determine that you’re a good candidate for clear aligners, then we can use a custom series to gently guide them into a straighter, more even position.

Gaps Between Teeth gh

Are you struggling to smile confidently due to unwanted spaces between teeth? If so, schedule a consultation with us so we can determine if Invisalign is the answer! If that’s the case, then we can use the clear aligners to gradually close those gaps, creating a cleaner, more uniform smile in the process. This not only improves appearance, but it also closes gaps that can breed bacteria and cause decay.

Overbite

While it’s normal for your upper teeth to sit slightly beyond your lower ones, several problems can arise if they protrude too far, including trouble enunciating clearly. Whether your case is relatively mild or more moderate, you may be a candidate for Invisalign! If that’s the case, then we will use the clear aligners in tandem with any other orthodontic accessories that are needed, like rubber bands, to bring your teeth and bite into ideal alignment.

Underbite

What if the opposite is true (your lower teeth sit in front of your upper ones)? If that’s the case, we recommend scheduling a consultation with us! That way, we can review your dental history, complete a comprehensive exam, and determine if you’re a good candidate for clear aligners. If you are, then your orthodontic treatment won’t involve any metal at all.

Crossbite

Now you know that Invisalign can fix overbites and underbites, but can Invisalign fix crossbites? Oftentimes, the answer is “yes!” So, if some of your lower teeth sit behind your upper ones, traditional metal braces may not be your only option. If we decide together that clear aligners are best for you, then we can give you a healthier bite without drawing unwanted attention to your smile.

Open Bite

When you bite down, is there a space that prevents your upper and lower teeth from meeting evenly? If so, you likely have an open bite. Since several problems can arise if left untreated, including premature wear and tear on certain teeth, we strongly recommend exploring your treatment options sooner rather than later. You might be surprised to learn that Invisalign is one of them!

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign has become the top choice for orthodontic care. In fact, this clear aligner system has helped more than 17 million patients achieve a straighter, healthier smile! If you are considering this teeth-straightening treatment as well, then keep reading to learn a few of the many exciting benefits that it comes with.

Discreet Appearance

While traditional braces use noticeable brackets and wires, Invisalign uses basically invisible aligners. As a result, your orthodontic treatment won’t draw any unwanted attention to your smile. Not only that, but you’ll be able to see the small improvements to the alignment of your teeth and bite along the way!

Virtually No Irritation

If you had traditional braces as a teenager, then you may remember that they aren’t the most comfortable. Fortunately, Invisalign doesn’t have protruding brackets and wires. Instead, the aligners are crafted from smooth plastic, they have a low profile, and they are custom-made to fit the contours of your mouth perfectly. That means virtually no irritation during the teeth-straightening process.

Freedom to Eat Your Favorite Foods

Whole apples, tortilla chips, and thin pizza crust are just a few foods that you need to avoid with traditional braces. Invisalign, on the other hand, doesn’t come with any dietary restrictions. As long as you eat mostly healthy, well-balanced meals, you’re free to enjoy all of your favorites on your journey to a straighter smile.

Hassle-Free Dental Care

Another noteworthy benefit of Invisalign: it’s easy to maintain a healthy smile. After all, the aligners are removable, so you don’t need to completely overhaul your oral hygiene regimen. Just make sure to brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash consistently. Then, come to our Fort Worth dental office every six months for a checkup and cleaning.

Fewer and Faster Check-In Visits

To ensure continuous pressure is placed on the patient’s teeth, traditional braces need to be adjusted every month. The treatment process is vastly different with Invisalign; you’ll be given several sets of aligners at a time so you can progress through portions of your treatment plan at home. Not only does this mean less time in the treatment chair, but it also means faster check-ins to keep your busy schedule on track.

Shorter Average Treatment Timeline

Last, but certainly not least, the average treatment timeline with Invisalign is 12-18 months. This is considerably shorter than traditional braces, which often take 2+ years. If you are interested in getting an estimate of your orthodontic treatment, then schedule a consultation with us! Once we have an in-depth understanding of your dental history, needs, and goals, we can give you a more precise answer.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The cost of Invisalign in Fort Worth depends on the complexity of your case and the length of your treatment. On average, patients can expect to pay between $3,000 and $5,000, which is comparable, if not a little less costly than traditional braces.

At Bonds Ranch Family Dentistry, we’ll provide a clear estimate after your consultation. We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and also offer flexible financing with CareCredit to make treatment affordable. Dr. Presley and our team are happy to walk you through every step, so there are no surprises—just a straight path to a straighter smile.
