How does Invisalign work?

You’ll begin your Wilmington Invisalign process in-person at our conveniently located office!

We offer Dental Monitoring virtual care to reduce office visits too! We’ll walk you through downloading the secure app and showing you how to complete check-ins, so you’ll only have to visit us when necessary.

Here’s how the Invisalign process works:

  1. Your clear aligners will come in sets, with one custom-designed clear aligner tray for your top teeth and another tray for your bottom teeth. 

  2. You’ll wear each set of aligners for two weeks (or as long as Dr. Matsumoto instructs) for at least 20 to 22 hours a day. After two weeks or so, you’ll switch your aligners out with the next set.
  3. Over time, you’ll notice changes in the alignment of your teeth and in just a few months, you’ll notice a progressively straighter, healthier smile!

How much does Invisalign cost?

We want Invisalign to work for your budget!

On your first visit, you can choose from flexible in-house financing and Lending Point financing. If you have insurance, this will significantly reduce your Invisalign cost too.

We’ll calculate your treatment cost, deduct your Invisalign coverage, and work out a custom financing plan that works for you.

Why Invisalign?

No brackets, no wires and no metal.

Remove your clear aligners as needed to eat and clean your teeth, then pop them back in and continue your transformation.

Invisalign is Comfortable

Every Invisalign aligner you wear is custom-made to fit your smile! These aligners are made of BPA-free, BPS-free, latex-free, flexible plastic. In other words, they’re designed for comfort. Invisalign shouldn’t cause any irritation around your teeth, gums or cheeks.

Invisalign is Convenient

As long as you keep your aligners in for at least 20 to 22 hours every day, you can remove your aligners whenever you need to! Take out your aligners to brush your teeth, floss your teeth, eat, or drink liquids other than water. You won’t have brackets or wires for food to get stuck, and you can remove your aligners to soak them in a cleaning solution regularly.

This also means you won’t have any dietary restrictions! You get to remove your aligners to eat, so your favorite foods are still on the table.

Invisalign Adjusts to Your Lifestyle

No matter what your day holds, Invisalign won’t disrupt your lifestyle! Many people choose Invisalign, because this treatment is practically invisible. For any social or professional events, you can smile with confidence, knowing your orthodontic treatment is virtually undetectable. If you’re a sports player, you can remove your aligners and replace them with a mouthguard during games and practices.

Invisalign is Highly-Effective

We can treat most conditions, from minor crookedness to severe bite misalignments, with Invisalign! These advanced aligners can treat crooked teeth, crowded teeth, gapped teeth and poor bite conditions (overbite, cross bite, open bite, underbite). 

Your treatment plan will be 100% personalized to you, so your case may require a treatment of Invisalign along with an appliance. You’ll find out which treatment method will be most effective for you during your consultation, whether it’s Invisalign or a different treatment option.

Is Invisalign better than at-home clear aligners?

Yes, doctor-monitored treatment is always the safer option. Treatment with at-home clear aligners is risky and has been known to result in irreparable damage.

During your Wilmington Invisalign treatment, Dr. Matsumoto may make some adjustments to your personalized treatment plan based on your progress. This ensures that you achieve the greatest results in the shortest amount of time. With DIY aligners, you won’t have a doctor monitoring your progress to make any necessary adjustments.

At-home clear aligner treatment is risky and oftentimes more expensive than professional Invisalign treatment at Matsumoto Orthodontics & Periodontics! Don’t take a risk on your smile. Go with the safe, reliable option that won’t leave your results to chance.
