Frequently Asked Questions

 

How much does Invisalign® cost?  

The cost of Invisalign treatment varies from patient to patient. At Northern Nevada Family Dental (NNFD) we will discuss your individualized treatment options and outline the associated costs during your free consultation.   


What is the minimum age to start Invisalign or Invisalign® Teen?

We offer Invisalign for children, teens and adults. NNFD recommends that all patients have their first orthodontic consultation at the age of 7 to ensure there are no major issues with your child’s bite that need to be addressed early. 

 

Am I too old for Invisalign®?

There is no maximum age for Invisalign patients. In fact, NNFD believes Invisalign is a highly effective and extremely esthetic treatment option for adults looking to finally improve their smile.

 

How often do I have to wear aligners?

Aligners should be worn all the time during your treatment, excluding eating, drinking anything but water, brushing, and flossing teeth. This comes out to around 20 hours per day.

 

Are there restrictions on what I can eat with Invisalign®?

No restrictions. Because your aligners are removed when you eat and drink, you can eat whatever you want. Just make sure your teeth are clean before re-inserting your aligners.


Is Invisalign® painful?

Most patients report mild pressure during the first few days of using each Invisalign tray. Because Invisalign is made of a very smooth material contoured precisely to your teeth, Invisalign patients report only minor discomfort at the beginning of treatment.

 

What are Invisalign® aligners made of?

Aligners are made from strong, medical grade thermoplastic material developed specially for the Invisalign System. This material is FDA cleared and BPA free, which means they’re safe for your mouth.

 

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for Invisalign®?

All consultations at NNFD are completely free. The quickest and easiest way to find out if you’re a candidate for Invisalign treatment is to call today for your complimentary appointment or book one online.
