Invisalign Cost and 7 Ways to Get Your Best Smile

Want straight teeth without metal braces? Invisalign might be perfect for you! But here’s the thing: some people get amazing results while others feel disappointed. What makes the difference?

Dr. Kevin C. Moss, Dr. Matthew D. Wall, and Dr. Kevyn R. Wetzel have helped hundreds of patients get beautiful smiles with Invisalign. Here are their top 7 tips to make sure you get the best results possible.

1. Choose the Right Doctor

This is the most important choice you’ll make! While many dentists offer Invisalign, orthodontists have special training just for moving teeth and fixing bites. They spend 2-3 extra years in school learning only about straightening teeth.

Think of it like this: Would you want any teacher to coach your basketball team, or would you want a coach who specializes in basketball?

Pro tip: Ask to see before and after photos of patients who had problems similar to yours. Look for teeth that fit together perfectly and are lined up just right.

2. Put Your Aligners in the Right Way

Just putting the clear trays in your mouth isn’t enough. You need to make sure they fit perfectly every single time.

Here’s what to do each time you put them in:

• Press firmly around each tooth until you hear a “click”
• Use the special “chewies” (small spongy tubes) to bite down for 30-60 seconds
• Check that there are no gaps between the aligner and your gums
• Make sure all the bumps on your teeth fit into the right spots on the aligner

This takes less than a minute but makes a huge difference in how well your treatment works.

3. Wear Them 22 Hours Every Day

The best Invisalign patients wear their aligners 20-22 hours every day, no exceptions.

Here’s some math that might surprise you: If you take them out for just one extra hour each day, you lose 30 hours of treatment time each month. That’s like losing more than a whole day!

Smart tip: Keep a travel kit with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and your aligner case everywhere you go. This makes it easy to brush your teeth and put your aligners back in right after eating.

4. Change Your Aligners on Schedule

Your treatment plan is like a recipe – you have to follow it exactly to get the best results.

Remember these rules:

• Most people change aligners every 7-14 days (your doctor will tell you exactly when)
• Always change to new aligners before bedtime to reduce discomfort
• Never skip ahead to try to go faster – this can actually make treatment take longer
• If your current aligner still feels very tight when it’s time to change, ask your doctor first

Each aligner does a specific job. Skipping steps is like trying to build a house without finishing the foundation first.

5. Don’t Skip Your Check-up Visits

Your regular appointments might seem annoying, but they’re super important. During these visits, Dr. Kevin C. Moss, Dr. Matthew D. Wall, or Dr. Kevyn R. Wetzel will:

• Check if your teeth are moving the way they should
• Make small adjustments between your teeth if needed
• Change your treatment plan if your teeth aren’t responding as expected
• Fix small problems before they become big ones

These appointments usually take less than 30 minutes but can save you months of extra treatment later.

6. Use Your Rubber Bands (If You Need Them)

If your treatment includes rubber bands, they’re just as important as your aligners:

• Your aligners will have special cuts made just for your rubber bands
• Follow your doctor’s instructions exactly for where to put them and how long to wear them
• Always carry extras so you’re never without them
• Remember that rubber bands fix bite problems that aligners can’t fix alone

Using rubber bands consistently often makes the difference between okay results and amazing results, especially if you have an overbite, underbite, or crossbite.

7. Whiten Your Teeth at the Same Time

One cool thing about Invisalign is that you can make your teeth whiter while you’re straightening them:

• Ask about professional whitening gel that you can use with your aligners
• Your aligners work like perfect whitening trays made just for you
• When you’re done with treatment, your teeth will be straight AND bright
• Professional whitening works much better than store-bought products

This saves time and makes your final results even more impressive. Your friends and family will definitely notice!

What About Invisalign Cost?

The Invisalign cost depends on several things:

• How complex your case is
• How long you’ll need treatment
• The personalized approach from Dr. Kevin C. Moss, Dr. Matthew D. Wall, and Dr. Kevyn R. Wetzel

The good news? The monthly cost might be about the same as what you pay for your phone!
