Invisalign® Teeth Straightening in Atlanta, GA

Straight and properly aligned teeth are more than just beautiful, they are healthier and more comfortable. Gaps, crooked teeth, and a misaligned bite can cause bigger dental issues that are painful and may need an expensive procedure to restore your oral health. The board-certified doctors of MINT dentistry are proud to use the Invisalign teeth straightening system for individuals in Atlanta, GA. Custom made to gently and comfortably meet your goals, Invisalign clear aligners are more comfortable and attractive than metal braces. Being able to remove them makes it easy to eat, brush your teeth, and floss. If you're excited about the idea of having a beautiful, healthy smile, contact us to schedule a consultation with an Invisalign dentist at MINT dentistry. Our modern practice in Atlanta, GA uses state-of-the-art dental technologies and techniques, like Invisalign treatment, so you can get an attractive, dazzling smile you'll want to share with the world.

The alignment of your teeth is influenced by multiple factors: sucking your thumb as a child, genetics, the loss of a tooth or teeth, or a traumatic accident to the face. The misalignment of your teeth can lead to other oral health problems, including dental malocclusion (a bad bite), ground-down enamel, trouble chewing and speaking, as well as toothaches and jaw pain. If a member of our MINT dentistry team sees early signs of one of these issues at your annual examination, we may recommend Invisalign aligners.

Clear Invisalign aligners can be ideal for both adults and teens in Atlanta, GA who would like to improve their smile but without the appearance and hassle of traditional metal braces. Although the Invisalign aligners should be worn most of the time, they can be removed so you can brush your teeth and eat, or play sports and attend special events. More discreet than metal braces, other people usually will not know that you are wearing your Invisalign clear aligners.

To create your first Invisalign aligners, we will take digital x-rays at our MINT dentistry office. Once they are sent to our office, we will contact you to receive your first aligners and specific care instructions from your dentist. You need to use your aligners every day for at least 20 hours for the process to be effective, ideally only taking them out to brush your teeth and eat. Over time, you will move to the second set of aligners so they can continue to move your teeth into their proper position. You will need to schedule appointments as recommended so our Invisalign dentist can evaluate your tooth movement and you can have more digital impressions taken, which will be used to make your next set of aligners. How long you will use your aligners will depend on your starting bite and your specific goals, but most patients undergo Invisalign teeth straightening for about 1 – 2 years.

When you have achieved your Invisalign goals, it is still important to ensure your teeth maintain their new position. Invisalign Vivera® retainers are specially made to hold your teeth in place after your complete your final set of aligning trays. Each retainer will be specially made for you at the Invisalign dental lab based on digital x-rays taken once your treatment is complete. Your Invisalign provider will speak with you about when to wear your retainer and how to care for it once it arrives at our MINT dentistry practice in Atlanta, GA. Our team will continue to monitor your bite and alignment during your annual dental examinations in case there is any movement.

Part of the cost of Invisalign may be covered by your dental insurance carrier. Our front office will confirm your specific policy coverage and then determine your costs. MINT dentistry in Atlanta, GA is proud to take most payment methods to cover your out-of-pocket expenses or if you aren't using insurance. During your consultation, our financial team will go over your estimated bill and ways to make your Invisalign care fit your budget with flexible payment plans and medical financing. It is important to keep in mind that a gorgeous smile is an invaluable asset. MINT dentistry is dedicated to helping you find an affordable way to get sexy teeth.
