Clear Aligners in Pikesville

At Level Orthodontics we know choosing the right orthodontic treatment is a personal choice that can change how you look and how you live your life. Many people in Pikesville come to our office looking for a way to straighten their teeth without the visible look of metal braces. Invisalign is one of the most popular treatments we’ve had since it works and lets you keep your natural look the whole time.

When people first hear about Invisalign they are often excited about the idea of getting a better smile without anyone knowing they have braces. During consultations we take the time to explain how this system works and if it’s right for you. The first step is to take a good look at your teeth and bite. We use state of the art digital scanning equipment to make an exact 3D model of your mouth. This model helps us figure out exactly how your teeth will move throughout treatment.

The clear aligners are custom made for you and your specific needs. Each aligner puts gentle pressure on your teeth to slowly move them into place. You’ll wear each aligner for about 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next one in the series. Most of our patients come in every 6-8 weeks so we can check on their progress and make sure everything is on track. Treatment time varies from person to person but most people finish in 12-18 months.

One of the best things about Invisalign is how easy it is to use. You can take the aligners out anytime you eat or drink because they are removable. You can eat all your favorite foods without worrying about hurting the brackets or wires because of this flexibility. Just take the aligners out before meals and then brush your teeth before putting them back in. To get the best results in the time frame you have set, we recommend you wear the aligners for at least 22 hours a day.

This treatment makes it much easier to keep your mouth clean. You can clean your teeth completely without having to deal with fixed appliances because you can take the aligners out to brush and floss. This easy access reduces the chance of cavities and gum disease when you’re getting braces. We’ll give you clear instructions on how to take care of your aligners properly. Cleaning them often with a soft toothbrush and clear soap keeps them fresh and almost invisible all day.

Many patients like how Invisalign fits into their work and social life. When you talk or smile the clear material makes the aligners almost invisible. Adults who want to improve their teeth without feeling self conscious at work or during important events will love this feature the most. We’ve helped many people in Pikesville change their smiles while keeping their confidence high at the same time.

This treatment isn’t for everyone. During your appointment we’ll thoroughly examine your dental health to figure out the best way to help you. We’ll discuss all the options honestly and some complex cases may require different answers. We also offer Braces for patients who need more help than clear aligners can give them. These braces work well for more severe orthodontic cases.

The cost of Invisalign depends on the amount of correction needed. We believe everyone should be able to get good orthodontic care so we work with many insurance companies and offer flexible payment plans. We’ll explain the financial side of things clearly and help you find a solution that fits your budget.

We’ll continue to give you personalized care and answer any questions you may have during your treatment. As your smile changes over time we’ll celebrate each step along the way with you. It’s amazing to see patients gain confidence and love their new smiles.
