Dr. Christopher Lim and the team of Hillside Dental in Las Vegas, NV encourage patients to consider the benefits of Invisalign treatment as an alternative to conventional braces. The cost is comparable to traditional orthodontia without the embarrassing metal brackets and wires.
Invisalign works with clear aligner trays. They are fabricated using impressions of the smile. The impressions are translated with digital software to develop a series of custom trays to progress through treatment, moving the teeth into better alignment. The number of trays varies depending on the severity of the misalignment. When patients wear the trays day and night, they can progress through the series and enjoy gradual improvement over the course of several months. Each tray is worn for two weeks before the next is used, and by the end of treatment, patients enjoy a brand-new smile!
Treatment with Invisalign varies from patient to patient. Each patient has a different number of trays needed to complete their treatment. Additionally, there may be additional costs if patients do not comply. In most cases, Invisalign is less expensive than traditional braces for patients who have mild to moderate misalignment of the dental arch. A consultation is the first step in learning more.
Invisalign is one the most popular ways to improve the alignment of the smile, and is often chosen over traditional braces because of the appearance and convenience. Dr. Christopher Lim of Hillside Dental is excited to offer this service for teenagers and adults who want to avoid conventional orthodontia.
