Invisalign®
Invisalign® aligners prove that effective orthodontic treatment doesn’t have to be difficult. These clear aligners have helped millions straighten their teeth and achieve better-looking smiles, and they can help you too.
Invisalign® in Tomball, TX
Invisalign® aligners are a discreet and effective option for orthodontic treatment. They are worn over your teeth and continually adjust the alignment and spacing. Invisalign® aligners are custom-made using models of your current teeth and the desired outcome. You will switch to new aligners every two weeks, and each new set will shift your teeth slightly, continuing until you achieve your final results, which typically takes about two years.
You should remove Invisalign® aligners only for eating, drinking, and cleaning. Initially, they may feel tight, but they will begin to feel more comfortable after a few days. While wearing Invisalign® or braces, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent food debris and bacteria from accumulating against your teeth.

How much does Invisalign® cost?
We aim to provide high-quality dental care that’s affordable for our patients in Tomball, TX. Invisalign® cost varies based on the length of treatment. Out-of-pocket cost for any procedure depends on your insurance coverage at the time of the procedure.

How does the Invisalign® process work?
To begin, we will take photographs of your teeth and face, dental impressions of your teeth, and x-rays. Those records are sent to Invisalign® with detailed instructions on how we want the final result to appear. Invisalign® will scan the impressions to create a 3D model of the teeth and work with your dentist to get the mold to its exact proportions. Once final, the trays are made and mailed to your dentist’s office. You will wear a set of trays for two weeks at a time for approximately 2 years, or the length of time determined by your dentist.

What are the advantages of Invisalign®?
Most people are ideal candidates for Invisalign® clear aligners, which are an alternative to traditional braces. However, if you have a complex orthodontic case involving significant movement, clear aligners may not be the best option for you. In such cases, fixed braces may be a better choice as there are no trays to lose.
Invisalign® is an excellent choice for people who want to:
- Straighten their teeth discreetly, without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.
- Eat foods that are usually off-limits with traditional braces.
- Maintain good oral hygiene easily by cleaning and brushing their teeth without any obstruction.
-
Can anyone get Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is suitable for most teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth. However, it may not be the best option for certain complex orthodontic cases. A consultation with an Invisalign®-trained orthodontist or dentist is necessary to determine if Invisalign® is the right choice for you.
