Question 1

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Accepted Answer

Treatment time varies by case complexity. Minor adjustments may take as few as 6 months, while more comprehensive alignment cases may take 12–18 months. During your consultation, we will take digital scans and give you a precise timeline for your specific goals.

Question 2

How much does Invisalign cost?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign treatment at McLaren Dental is competitively priced, typically ranging from $3,500 to $6,500 depending on treatment complexity. Many insurance plans cover a portion of orthodontic treatment. We offer flexible payment options through CareCredit to fit your budget.

Question 3

How often do I wear the aligners?

Accepted Answer

For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for 1–2 weeks before advancing to the next in the series.

Question 4

Can I eat normally with Invisalign?

Accepted Answer

Yes — one of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that you simply remove your aligners to eat and drink. There are no food restrictions, unlike with traditional braces. Just brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in.

Question 5

Is Invisalign right for me?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign is effective for a wide range of alignment issues including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. It works best for mild to moderate cases. Severe misalignment may require traditional braces or a combination approach. We will assess your candidacy with a complimentary digital scan.
