Others might not even notice you are wearing Invisalign clear aligners because they are almost invisible. To eat, drink, clean your teeth, and floss, as well as on special occasions, you can take them off. There are no metal wires or brackets that could break or irritate your mouth.

The price of Invisalign treatment is typically comparable to the price of braces. Depending on how complicated your situation is and how many aligners you require, your doctor will estimate the cost of your treatment. You have a number of ways to lower the cost of your Invisalign treatment, including using insurance, tax-free money, a payment plan, and third-party financing through Care Credit.

Absolutely, using a retainer after Invisalign helps maintain proper tooth alignment and prevents teeth from slipping back to their pre-Invisalign positions. Thankfully, wearing retainers is only necessary at night while you sleep, not during the day. Although there are numerous varieties of retainers, we advise Vivera® retainers. Vivera retainers help you maintain your new smile because they are nearly invisible and constructed of a proprietary substance that is 30% stronger than other top clear retainer materials.

Invisalign clear aligners are made of flexible plastic — specifically, a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack created exclusively for Invisalign Treatment.
