Invisalign® Teeth Straightening Newport, KY

When your teeth are correctly aligned, they are more attractive, more comfortable, and overall healthier. Crooked teeth and an improper bite can lead to long-term dental problems that may become painful and may need an expensive procedure to restore your oral health. Our MINT dentistry professionals are pleased to use the Invisalign aligning system for individuals in Newport, KY. Made custom to fit comfortably and meet your aesthetic goals, Invisalign dental aligners are more comfortable and attractive than traditional metal orthodontics. Being able to remove them makes eating and cleaning much more manageable. If you want more information on having a beautiful, healthy smile, schedule an initial consultation with an Invisalign dentist at MINT dentistry. Our boutique facility in Newport, KY uses state-of-the-art dental technology and techniques, including Invisalign treatment, so you can obtain a beautiful, vibrant smile you'll be proud of.

The alignment of your teeth can be determined by many factors, including genetics, losing teeth, a jaw injury, or if you sucked your thumb as a child. Misaligned teeth may cause other oral health problems, like a bad bite (dental malocclusion), abnormal enamel wear, difficulty chewing and speaking, toothaches, and jaw pain. If a member of our MINT dentistry team sees one of these concerns during your dental examination, we may recommend an orthodontic treatment, like Invisalign aligners.

Orthodontic treatments, like Invisalign aligners, can be excellent for both adults and teens in Newport, KY who would like to improve their smile without the hassle and appearance of traditional orthodontics. Even though Invisalign aligners do need to be worn most of the time, they can be removed to eat and brush your teeth, as well as for playing sports and special events. Far more discreet than traditional braces, most people will not know that you are wearing your Invisalign clear aligners.

After creating your treatment plan, digital impressions will be taken at MINT dentistry to make your first Invisalign aligners. You will return to get your first aligners and instructions from your dentist. You need to use your aligners every day for at least 20 hours for the system to work, to remove them only for eating and cleaning. In time, you should switch to your second set of aligners, so they gently move your teeth into their proper position. You should schedule follow-up appointments every 4 – 6 weeks so our Invisalign provider can monitor your progress and take more digital impressions to make new sets of aligners. The length of time you will need to wear your aligners will vary based on the original position of your teeth and your specific goals, but most patients undergo Invisalign treatment for around 10 – 18 months.

Your gums and jaw may require some adjustment time once you have completed the last set of trays and your bite is aligned. Invisalign Vivera® retainers help to hold your teeth in place using the same comfortable material as your aligner trays. Your retainer will be specially made for you at the Invisalign dental laboratory from digital x-rays taken after your teeth are in the correct position. Your Invisalign dentist will explain how often to use your retainer and provide instructions for care after it arrives at our MINT dentistry facility in Newport, KY. Our team will continuously assess your teeth alignment and bite at your dental exams in case of any movement.

For those with dental insurance, a portion of the cost of Invisalign aligners may be covered by your dental policy. We will get more information on your specific policy coverage and calculate your remaining bill. MINT dentistry in Newport, KY is proud to accept several payment solutions to cover out-of-pocket expenses or if you aren't using insurance. During your initial consultation, our financial team will review your estimated bill and ways to make your Invisalign care fit your budget, including flexible payment plans and medical financing. It's important to remember that a gorgeous smile is part of a happy, healthy life. MINT dentistry is dedicated to helping you affordably achieve this goal.

Invisalign teeth aligners are a fabulous way to get a healthy, straight smile without the pain and hassle of traditional metal braces.
