Invisalign®
Invisalign® in Massachusetts and Connecticut
If you’re not satisfied with the alignment of your teeth, you don’t have to resort to traditional metal braces. Our team of skilled dentists offers a more discreet and convenient option: Invisalign®. With Invisalign®, you can achieve straighter teeth without the hassle of metal brackets and wires.
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign® is its sensitive nature. The aligners are made of clear plastic that is virtually invisible when worn on teeth. It means you can straighten your teeth without paying attention to your orthodontic treatment, making it a popular choice for teenagers and adults.
In addition to being discreet, Invisalign® is also convenient. The aligners are removable, so you can take them out when you eat, brush, and floss your teeth. This eliminates the need to avoid certain foods or navigate around brackets and wires when maintaining oral hygiene. It also allows for more flexibility in your lifestyle, as you can enjoy your favorite foods and activities without restrictions.
What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are virtually invisible when worn on the teeth. These aligners are made from a comfortable and durable plastic material, and they work by gently applying controlled forces to move the teeth into their desired positions gradually.
The process starts with a comprehensive evaluation by our experienced dentists to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you. Our dentists will use advanced 3D imaging technology to create a customized treatment plan if it is. This plan will involve a series of aligners, each worn for about 20-22 hours per day and replaced with a new set every one to two weeks as the teeth gradually shift.
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is its sensitive nature. The aligners are clear, making them virtually invisible when worn, so you can confidently straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. This particularly appeals to those who may feel self-conscious about wearing traditional metal braces.
Are Invisalign aligners really transparent?
Invisalign clear aligners are a discreet and convenient way to straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, they are made of transparent plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. The aligners are custom-made for you and are replaced every two weeks as your teeth gradually shift into their desired position. Invisalign is a popular choice for those looking to improve their smile without the hassle of metal braces.

How much does Invisalign treatment typically cost?
Invisalign treatment costs can vary based on factors such as the case’s complexity, treatment duration, and location of the dental provider. However, many dental providers offer financing options to make Invisalign more affordable for patients. Invisalign provides the advantage of being virtually invisible and removable, offering greater comfort and convenience than traditional braces. It’s recommended to discuss the cost and financing options with your dental provider during your consultation to determine the best approach for your individual needs and budget. Achieving a straighter smile with Invisalign can provide long-term benefits for oral health and confidence.
Does insurance cover the cost of Invisalign?
Insurance coverage for Invisalign varies depending on your dental insurance plan. Some plans may cover a portion of the cost, while others may not cover it at all. Reviewing your policy or contacting your insurance provider for details is important. Financing options may be available if insurance does not cover the cost. Consult with your insurance and dental providers to determine coverage and potential costs.
What Is Invisalign Treatment Time?
The duration of Invisalign treatment is tailored to each individual’s orthodontic needs. Our experienced Invisalign dentists will create a customized treatment plan to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions over several months. While most treatments are completed within 10 months to two years, the average treatment time for adults is typically around one year. Regular compliance with wearing the aligners as instructed and following the treatment plan provided by We can help ensure efficient progress toward achieving your desired smile. We will provide a personalized estimate of the treatment time during your initial consultation based on your orthodontic needs.
