The Clear Path to a Straighter Smile in Plainview

Are you dreaming of a perfectly straight smile but can't imagine yourself wearing traditional metal braces? For teens and adults in Plainview, there is a modern, discreet, and comfortable solution. Meadowbrook Dental is a proud provider of Invisalign®—the world's leading clear aligner system. Using a series of virtually invisible, custom-made aligners, we can help you achieve the confident smile you've always wanted without putting your life on hold.

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign treatment is a revolutionary way to straighten teeth. Instead of metal brackets and wires, it utilizes a series of clear, removable plastic aligners that are custom-molded to fit your teeth perfectly. Each aligner in the series is precisely calibrated to make small, incremental adjustments, gradually and gently shifting your teeth into their ideal position as mapped out by your personalized treatment plan.

The Invisalign Advantage: A Treatment Designed for Your Lifestyle

Patients across Plainview choose Invisalign for its incredible benefits that fit seamlessly into their daily lives:

Virtually Invisible: The aligners are crafted from a clear, proprietary SmartTrack® material, making them so discreet that most people won't even notice you're wearing them.
Completely Removable: You can easily remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This means no food restrictions and no complicated oral hygiene routines.
Unmatched Comfort: With no metal brackets to poke or wires to tighten, the smooth plastic aligners are significantly more comfortable than traditional braces.
Predictable, High-Tech Process: Advanced 3D imaging technology allows you to see a simulation of your results before you even start, so you can begin your journey with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How long does Invisalign treatment usually take? The average treatment time is between 12 to 18 months, though simpler cases can be completed in as little as 6 months. The exact duration depends on the complexity of your individual case, which we will determine during your initial consultation.

2. Is Invisalign treatment painful? Most patients experience some mild pressure or discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. This is a normal sign that the aligners are working to move your teeth. This feeling typically subsides quickly and is much less intense than the discomfort associated with tightening metal braces.

3. How often do I have to wear my aligners? For the best results, you must wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. You should only remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. Consistent wear is the key to finishing your treatment on time.

4. What happens after my Invisalign treatment is complete? To protect your investment and keep your beautiful new smile perfectly straight, you will need to wear a retainer. Just like with any orthodontic treatment, retainers prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back to their original positions. We offer several comfortable and discreet retainer options.

5. How much does Invisalign cost in Plainview? The cost of Invisalign is comparable to that of traditional braces and depends on the complexity and length of your treatment. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign just as they would other orthodontic treatments. Our team will review all costs and discuss our flexible financing options with you during your consultation.
