Invisalign – Mt. Pleasant, WI
The Metal-Free Way to a Straight Smile
For decades, patients with crooked teeth and misaligned bites had one option: metal braces. Although effective, the aesthetic drawbacks resulted in many patients forgoing orthodontic treatment. Today, image-conscious teens and adults don’t have to compromise; they can straighten their teeth with reliable, safe, and virtually invisible aligners! If you want to learn more about Invisalign, including how the teeth-straightening process works, read on or get in touch with our Mt. Pleasant dental team to schedule an appointment.

How Invisalign Works
Traditional braces are adjusted every month, ensuring that continuous pressure is applied to your mouth. Invisalign takes a different approach. Instead of using metal brackets and wires, a custom series of clear aligners are made from impressions of your teeth. Each set moves your teeth a step closer to their ideal positions, and the next one in the series picks up from there. This process repeats until you have straight teeth, a healthy bite, and an absolutely beautiful smile!

If you are interested in improving the alignment of your teeth and bite, then you shouldn’t hesitate to schedule a consultation to find out if you’re a candidate for Invisalign. In the meantime, you can read on to learn about some of the orthodontic problems clear aligners can address.
Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth don’t just negatively impact the appearance of your smile; they impact your oral health. If you’re a candidate for Invisalign, we can move your teeth from where they are now to their ideal positions – without any metal too!
Gaps Between Teeth
Spaces between your teeth pose a similar problem: they can trap food particles, plaque, and other debris. That’s why we recommend exploring your treatment options now! With Invisalign, you won’t have to worry about “metal mouth,” and the treatment timeline is usually only 12-18 months.
Bite Alignment
If your bite is misaligned, then you’re at-risk of experiencing chronic jaw pain, premature wear and tear on your teeth, and numerous other problems. Fortunately, clear aligners can be used with other orthodontic accessories, like rubber bands, to fix common bite issues, like overbites.
The Benefits of Invisalign
After all these years, Invisalign continues to be one of the most popular orthodontic treatments because:
- The average treatment timeline is shorter
- There aren’t any dietary restrictions
- The aligners are smooth, low-profile, and completely clear
- There are fewer check-in visits
- The aligners are easy to clean
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
You might find general price ranges online, but, unfortunately, they are often misleading. After all, there are so many different factors to consider, including:
- The complexity of the case
- If single-arch treatment is possible
- If rubber bands and other orthodontic accessories are needed
- How many aligners need to be made
- How well the patient sticks to the treatment guidelines
- The type of retainer needed.
The good news is that we review all of this and more with you at your consultation as well as provide an estimate of the cost.
