Invisalign

Misaligned teeth can not only affect the appearance of your smile, but your oral health as well. 

Invisalign® uses discreet aligners instead of metal wires and brackets to gently guide your teeth into alignment. 

Our team of dentists in Wasilla, AK, can help you achieve a beautifully straightened smile with this clear orthodontic treatment.

A Clear Alternative

Patients choose aligner systems like Invisalign because they are:

Discreet

There are no bulky metal wires or brackets like braces. Invisalign straightens your teeth with a series of clear aligners. 

Removable

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, so you can eat the foods you love without diet restrictions. 

Fast

Invisalign treatment can address mild-to-moderate orthodontic issues in as little as 12 to 18 months.

Invisalign Treatment Costs

Invisalign treatment costs will vary for each patient based on their unique dental concerns. Typically, treatment using these aligners ranges from $4,500 to $6,500. We work with most dental insurance plans to reduce or even eliminate out-of-pocket expenses for eligible patients.

Our dental practice also accepts CareCredit® financing, which allows you to break the cost of your Invisalign treatment into monthly payments. 

Once your dentist designs your treatment plan, we will verify your insurance coverage to maximize your benefits, and we will then be able to give you a more accurate quote of what your costs might be.

Don't Qualify For Invisalign?

While Invisalign is a great option for many patients, sometimes it is not a good treatment for patients with severe orthodontic issues, those who can't maintain their aligners, or young children. 

If you don't qualify for Invisalign, our Wasilla practice can still help you achieve your orthodontic goals with braces by referring you to a trusted provider in the area.

Invisalign Treatment Timeline

Each patient is different, and treatment may vary based on your unique concerns.

Consultation

During your initial consultation, your dentist will examine your mouth and discuss your concerns to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. They will then develop a custom treatment plan to help straighten your smile.

Impressions

Your dentist will take impressions of your mouth using an iTero digital scanner. Digital technology eliminates the need for messy and often uncomfortable impressions. These images are sent to the Invisalign team so they can craft your custom series of aligners. 

Treatment Begins

Once your clear aligners are ready, you will begin treatment by wearing the first set of aligners. After about two to four weeks, you will switch to the next set of aligners. Your aligners must be worn for about 22 hours a day for the best results.

Check-Ups

Every four to six weeks, you will visit our Wasilla dental office so your dentist can monitor your progress and make any adjustments as needed for optimal results. 

Maintaining Results

After about 12 to 18 months, your treatment should be complete. In order to maintain your results, you might wear the last trays in the series as retainers or your dentist will craft a custom retainer for you to wear at night.

Have questions about Invisalign treatment?


















 

Adjusting to Your Aligners

Studies have shown that patients experience less pain with clear aligner treatment like Invisalign versus braces. During the first few days of wearing your aligners, or when you switch to the next set in the series, it is normal to experience some mild discomfort. However, your trays should not be especially painful, and the discomfort should ease after a few days as your teeth and mouth adjust. 

If you notice your aligners causing gum irritation, contact our Wasilla office. Your dentist can make minor adjustments to eliminate this issue and ensure your comfort. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

If you wear your aligners as directed, most mild-to-moderate orthodontic issues can be resolved in 12 to 18 months. Some patients may require more or less time, depending on their needs. In some cases, it may take up to 24 months. Patients who do not wear their aligners as recommended may experience longer treatment times.

Does insurance cover Invisalign?

Most insurance plans do cover some of the costs of Invisalign treatment. We will verify your coverage before treatment begins to help you maximize your benefits. We can also help with financing options like CareCredit® to make treatment more affordable.

What should I do if I lose an Invisalign tray?

It is very important to wear your aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day. If you lose or damage one of your clear aligner trays, contact our Wasilla office so we can address the issue as soon as possible and prevent your teeth from shifting. In many cases, you can wear your previous set, so do not discard your old aligners.

Can my child use Invisalign?

Whether your child can be an active participant in their care is more important than their age. In other words, most dentists recommend clear aligners for patients who are responsible enough to wear the aligners for about 22 hours a day and maintain them. During your initial consultation at our Wasilla practice, we can discuss whether Invisalign is right for your child.

Shouldn't I see an orthodontist?

Orthodontists only focus on orthodontic issues. Our skilled dentists can provide a variety of oral health care in one location. This means if you need preparatory treatment like tooth extraction, you do not need to see an orthodontist and a dentist for your treatment.

Dr. Woods and staff were very accommodating and friendly. I appreciated the clear communication from both the doctor and front desk. I live in Eagle River but believe the drive is worth it for the quality care they give!
