Invisalign® Teeth Straightening in Kennesaw, GA

Adults and teens who want to properly align their teeth can benefit from the custom Invisalign clear, removable dental aligners available from the dental professionals at MINT. Dental malocclusion (a bad bite), crooked teeth, and gaps can cause bigger issues that are painful and require expensive procedures to repair. Our MINT dentistry professionals are proud to use the Invisalign system of clear teeth aligners for our patients in Kennesaw, GA. Custom made to fit comfortably and meet your aesthetic goals, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable and attractive than metal orthodontics. Being able to remove them makes it easy to eat, brush your teeth, and floss. If you are interested in getting a smile that's both healthy and beautiful, set up a consultation with an Invisalign provider at MINT dentistry. Our boutique practice in Kennesaw, GA utilizes cutting-edge dental technologies and techniques, including Invisalign treatment, to help you obtain a beautiful, vibrant smile you can't stop sharing.

Genetics, thumb-sucking as a child, losing a tooth or multiple teeth, and an injury to the jaw are some of the factors that influence your dental bite and alignment. Misaligned teeth can lead to other oral health problems, including a bad bite (dental malocclusion), abnormal enamel wear, difficulty chewing and speaking, plus jaw pain and toothaches. If your MINT dental team notices early signs of one of these issues during your annual exam, we might suggest Invisalign aligners.

Clear Invisalign aligners can be wonderful for teens and adults in Kennesaw, GA who would like straighter teeth but without the hassle and appearance of traditional metal braces. Even though Invisalign trays do need to be worn at least 20 hours a day, they can be taken out so you can brush your teeth and eat, plus for special events and playing sports. Far more discreet than traditional braces, most people usually will not know that you're wearing your Invisalign trays.

The digital x-rays taken by your MINT dentistry team will be used to create your first set of Invisalign aligners. Once they are sent to our office, we will contact you to get your first set of aligners and instructions from one of our skilled doctors. You should wear your aligners every day for at least 20 hours for the process to be effective, ideally taking them out only to eat and brush your teeth. Over time, you will switch to your second set of aligners as they gently move your bite closer to their final alignment. You should plan to attend appointments every 4 – 6 weeks so our Invisalign provider can track your tooth movement and you can get more digital x-rays taken, which will be used to make your next set of aligners. The length of time that you will need to wear Invisalign aligners will depend on your starting bite and your goals, but most patients undergo Invisalign teeth straightening for around 12 months.

Once your gums and jaw have adjusted to their new alignment, it is crucial to keep them in place. Invisalign Vivera® retainers are designed with the same comfortable materials as the aligner trays to help keep your teeth in place after your treatment is complete. Each retainer will be made custom at the Invisalign dental laboratory from 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 after it is sent to our MINT dentistry practice in Kennesaw, GA. Our team will continue to monitor your bite and alignment during your dental exams in case there is any movement.

A portion of the cost of your Invisalign orthodontics may be covered by your dental insurance. Our front office will confirm your specific policy coverage and calculate your personal cost. MINT dentistry in Kennesaw, GA is pleased to accept many different payment choices for patients who don't have dental insurance. At your consultation, we will estimate your treatment costs and ways to make your Invisalign treatment more affordable with flexible payment plans and medical financing. It is important to remember that a gorgeous smile is an invaluable asset. MINT dentistry is committed to helping you afford the smile you want.
