Invisalign – Holliston, MA
Transform Your Smile Without the Metal
Previously, straightening your teeth meant wearing metal brackets and wires for several months or years. Thanks to advancements in both technology and the field of orthodontics, there’s another option now: Invisalign. This innovative teeth-straightening treatment uses clear, custom-made, and comfortable aligners to address crowded teeth, overbites, and other common orthodontic problems. So, if you want to transform your smile without the metal, then schedule a consultation with us to see if you’re a candidate for Invisalign!

How Invisalign Works
After confirming that you’re a candidate for Invisalign, your Holliston dentist will take impressions of your teeth and design a custom treatment plan. You’ll be provided with a series of aligners and asked to wear each set for 20+ hours a day and for 1-2 weeks at a time. This will result in your teeth shifting incrementally closer and closer to their ideal positions. Typically, the entire process only takes 12-18 months too!
Who Invisalign Can Help
Are you interested in learning if you’re a candidate for Invisalign? If so, then schedule a consultation with our cosmetic dentist! You can also learn about some of the orthodontic problems clear aligners can address by reading on.
Crowded Teeth
Simply put, crooked teeth can take a toll on the appearance of your smile as well as your oral health. For that reason, we recommend exploring your orthodontic treatment options, like Invisalign. If you’re a candidate, then we can guide your teeth into the proper positions with aligners that are as clear as they are comfortable!
Gaps Between Teeth
Whether you have one large gap between your two front teeth or several small spaces throughout your mouth, it’s important to know that – although it might not seem like a big deal – gapped teeth increase your risk of oral health problems, like gum disease. In that way, Invisalign can boost your self-esteem and your oral health!
Bite Alignment
If your upper and lower teeth don’t come together evenly when you bite down, then it won’t be long before you experience jaw pain, TMJ dysfunction, and other chronic issues. The good news is that Invisalign clear aligners can be used in tandem with other orthodontic accessories, like rubber bands, to gradually bring your bite into alignment.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Like many other patients, you may be interested in straightening your teeth with Invisalign. If you ultimately decide that this is the best orthodontic treatment for you, then you’ll enjoy the following benefits:
The Aligners Are Basically Invisible
Have you been considering getting braces for months or years now, but ultimately decided against it time and time again because you don’t want to wear metal brackets and wires? Good news: there’s a good chance you don’t have to! Invisalign is an incredibly versatile treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. So, you don’t have to worry – your braces won’t be the first things people see.
Cleaning Your Teeth and Your Trays Are Easy
Keeping your teeth clean is easy because you don’t have to navigate your toothbrush and floss around metal brackets and wires. Instead, you can remove your trays and then proceed with your usual oral hygiene regimen. Cleaning your aligners won’t take much time either. Simply rinse them with clean, cool water each time you take them out. Then, when you’re ready to put them back on, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, mild dishwashing liquid to clean them.
The Average Treatment Timeline Is Shorter
Oftentimes, treatment plans with traditional braces are 2-3 years. In contrast, the average treatment timeline with Invisalign is only 12-18 months. There’s a chance that your teeth-straightening journey will be even shorter than that if your case is more mild, like you have a few small spaces between your teeth. Ultimately, if you are interested in finding out how long it will take to achieve the results you desire, then take the next step: schedule a consultation with our Holliston dental team.
You Don’t Need to Change Your Diet
Traditional braces come with dietary restrictions, like cutting out sticky, crunchy, and hard foods from your diet. With Invisalign, that’s not the case because the aligners are removable! So, while you still need to be mindful of what you’re eating and how it impacts your oral health, you don’t need to completely remove any foods from your diet in an effort to prevent an orthodontic emergency.
There Are Fewer Check-In Visits
Last, but certainly not least, you’ll spend less time in the treatment chair overall with Invisalign. That’s because there aren’t adjustment appointments every four weeks (which is the case with traditional braces). Instead, you’ll progress through a few sets of aligners at home, and then you’ll come to our office every six or eight weeks for check-in visits. That way, we can monitor the movement of your teeth and ensure everything is progressing as anticipated.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Patients often assume that the cost of Invisalign is the same for everyone. That’s not the case! After all, there are several factors that need to be considered, including if single-arch treatment is possible and how many aligners are needed. Fortunately, we can give you an estimate of the price at your consultation. We can also review the financial solutions, like dental insurance, at that time as well.
