Will the treatment be painful?

Each time you change to a new aligner, there may be some temporary discomfort while your teeth adjust to their new position. This is completely normal, and is a good sign that the treatment is working.

How often do I have to wear my aligners?

Invisalign only works when you're wearing your aligners. It's recommended that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush, and floss your teeth.

Does insurance cover Invisalign?

Any insurance plan that covers orthodontics should cover Invisalign.

A clear alternative

Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces, using a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. You wear each set of clear aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next set in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Cucalon has prescribed. During each of your appointments, Dr. Cucalon will evaluate you to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

How does Invisalign work?

Dr. Cucalon will utilize 3D computer imaging technology to demonstrate the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position. This imaging technology is then used to design an individualized series of custom-made aligners. You will wear the aligners for about two weeks while the teeth move incrementally. After two weeks, the current aligner is replaced with the next one until the final position is achieved.

Is Invisalign for me?

Invisalign can be used to treat the vast majority of common problems for adults and teens. Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. Dr. Cucalon has been successful in treating all types of cases, including overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
