Clear Aligner At Ayoub Cosmetic Dentestry

Your smile is one of the first facial features people notice. At Ayoub Dental Corporation, we are dedicated to ensuring your smile is noticed in the best way possible. Issues like crooked teeth, a crossbite, underbite, or overbite can cause individuals to smile less. Dr. Ayoub can address these concerns without traditional metal braces, using Invisalign.

Invisalign utilizes a series of clear and removable aligners to correct dental misalignments and help you achieve the smile you’ve always desired. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal brackets to wear for extended periods, allowing you to smile with confidence. The aligners are virtually invisible, so when people see you smile, they won’t see your braces—they’ll see a bright, straight smile.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR INVISALIGN?

Invisalign is a custom program created for each unique smile. It can help if you have teeth that are crowded or widely spaced, or if you have an overbite, underbite, or crossbite. Because the series of aligners are made especially for your mouth, you do not have to worry about excessive discomfort and cutting your gums on sharp metal braces.

To determine if you will benefit from Invisalign, schedule a consultation with Dr. Matthew, DDS, MICOI, so he can examine your teeth. Once Dr. Matthew has examined your teeth and discussed your goals with you, he will recommend the best Invisalign treatment plan for you.

HOW DOES INVISALIGN WORK?

Invisalign aligners are invisible braces, a modern alternative to classic braces, which can correct the following dental problems:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Crowded teeth
  • Widely spaced teeth

 

The Invisalign system uses a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are comfortable, smooth, and virtually invisible when worn over your teeth.

INVISALIGN VS. BRACES

Invisalign gently and gradually shifts your teeth into place according to the precise plan outlined by Dr. Ayoub. There are no harsh metal braces to attach or uncomfortable wires to tighten. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Dr. Ayoub will provide you with a new set of aligners at each appointment, progressing until you achieve the smile you’ve always desired.

At Ayoub Dental Corporation, we specialize in providing Invisalign to our patients. We understand the transformative power of a winning smile and are dedicated to helping you achieve yours.

Frequently Asked Questions?

WHAT ARE ALIGNERS MADE OF AND WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?

Invisalign aligners are made of a thermoplastic material uniquely developed for the treatment plan. It looks similar to teeth-whitening trays. These aligners are custom-made for you, to move your teeth in the sequence determined by Dr. Matthew, DDS, MICO

HOW LONG WILL MY INVISALIGN TREATMENT TAKE?

On average, an Invisalign treatment will take approximately 12 months for adults. However, the length of treatment depends on the severity of your case and can only be determined by Dr. Matthew.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO WEAR MY ALIGNERS?

Aligners are most effective when worn 20 to 22 hours per day and removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing.

CAN I JUST WEAR THE ALIGNERS WHILE I SLEEP?

No. The aligners must be in place a minimum of 20 to 22 hours a day for the treatment to be effective.

SINCE HAVING MY BRACES REMOVED, MY TEETH HAVE SHIFTED. CAN INVISALIGN FIX THIS?

Yes. A number of Invisalign patients had metal braces during their youth. Then as adults, their teeth have shifted. This can be corrected with Invisalign without having to go through the social awkwardness of wearing classic metal braces because they are invisible.

Are crowns covered by insurance?

In many cases, crowns are covered by insurance. Most dental insurance plans pays for a new crown every 5 years. For more information about porcelain crowns in Huntington, contact Dr. Ayoub and his team of experts.

WILL MY INVISALIGN TREATMENT BE PAINFUL?

At the beginning of each new stage, some people experience temporary discomfort for a few days of treatment. This is normal and is typically described as a feeling of pressure on the teeth. This discomfort typically goes away in a couple of days.

WILL WEARING INVISALIGN ALIGNERS AFFECT MY SPEECH?

Similar to other orthodontic treatments, Invisalign aligners may temporarily affect the speech of some people, and you may have a slight lisp for a day or two. However, as your tongue gets used to having aligners in your mouth, any lisp caused by the aligners should disappear.

I CURRENTLY HAVE VENEERS. WILL INVISALIGN ALIGNERS WORK WITH THEM?

Please consult with Dr. Ayoub about any special cosmetic dentistry cases, such as veneers.
