Invisalign – Cocoa Beach, FL

Invisalign Treatment Straightens Smiles

Many patients want to pursue straighter, more aesthetically pleasing teeth through orthodontic treatment, but the thought of wearing metal braces for months or even years on end understandably gives them pause. Thankfully, there’s an alternative available at Nawrocki Dental – Invisalign in Cocoa Beach. Invisalign treatment consists of customized, clear aligners that each represent a different stage of the smile as teeth are gradually shifted. They are also removable, which allows patients to continue to eat their favorite foods, brush and floss, and even enjoy important occasions to the fullest. Contact our dental office today to schedule your first appointment with Dr. Gary Nawrocki, or if you have any questions for our team about smile alignment with Invisalign in Cocoa Beach, FL.

Why Choose Nawrocki Dental of Cocoa Beach for Invisalign?

How Invisalign Works

After Dr. Nawrocki has determined that you’re a good candidate for Invisalign treatment, our team will capture three-dimensional images of your smile and jaw and transfer them to the Invisalign laboratory so they can create your new aligners. The numbers of aligners you’ll be provided with varies from case to case, but typically anywhere from 20 to 29 are necessary. The patient will then be instructed to wear their aligners constantly, save for when they’re eating or drinking. This is important because food can become trapped against the teeth if the tray is left in place, contributing to decay.

In most cases, patients need to switch out their aligners for the next one every couple of weeks. You’ll also attend brief appointments with Dr. Nawrocki so that he can gauge your progress. That’s all there is to it!

Indications for Invisalign

As a versatile treatment option for various dental problems (i.e., overcrowding, gapped teeth, bite alignment issues), Invisalign is a highly sought-after method of orthodontic care that allows patients to straighten their smiles without the harsh metal brackets and wires.

Crowded Teeth

When teeth appear too close to each other, you will experience difficulty brushing and flossing effectively. This will leave your vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease because of the accumulated plaque and tartar that cannot easily be removed. Invisalign can move your teeth in the right direction, allowing for additional space between each tooth.

Gaps Between Teeth

If gaps between your teeth are keeping you from enjoying a healthy smile, Invisalign can eliminate this extra space, providing you with a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and cavity- and disease-free smile.

Bite Alignment

Whether it is an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, Invisalign has a unique way of shifting teeth and realigning bites to minimize wear and tear as well as eliminate chronic jaw pain. You will no longer suffer the negative effects of a poorly aligned bite. Instead, you will be able to embrace a new and improved smile that functions normally.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Some of the benefits you can expect with Invisalign include:

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

Knowing how much your Invisalign treatment will cost can only be determined once you sit down with Dr. Nawrocki to discuss your eligibility, treatment plan, and process for receiving Invisalign. During this visit, he will provide you with an estimated cost breakdown, as there is no set price for Invisalign. Each patient is different and will have unique needs, making the cost different for everyone.

Various factors can contribute to the overall cost of Invisalign orthodontic treatment, such as:

Your dental insurance company will likely cover orthodontic care in some capacity. A member of our administrative team will be happy to check on your behalf if you prefer, as well as offer available payment methods to ensure you get the treatment you need while staying within your budget.

Invisalign Frequently Asked Questions

Invisalign in Cocoa Beach is one of the most convenient ways to get the straighter, healthier smile you deserve. This unique orthodontic treatment is very different from traditional metal braces, so it’s natural to have some questions about how it works. For your convenience, we’ve gathered some of the most common Invisalign questions below. If you don’t see the answers you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

Does Wearing Invisalign Aligners Hurt?

Traditional metal braces are notorious for their sharp wires and brackets that rasp against sensitive soft tissues like your lips, cheeks, and tongue. Thankfully, Invisalign aligners are crafted out of a single smooth piece of biocompatible plastic. This should help you enjoy a much more comfortable straightening experience!

However, it is normal to experience some soreness when shifting your teeth into place with Invisalign. Typically, you can expect to feel some discomfort each time you start a new set of aligners, but it should be mild and fade on its own in no time. You can minimize your soreness by applying an ice pack, taking over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, or starting each new set of aligners right before bed.

How Long Do I Have to Wear My Invisalign Aligners for Every Day?

While Invisalign’s removable nature is one of its most popular benefits, it’s also its largest responsibility. It’s up to you to wear your aligners for enough time every day to keep up with the predicted timeline of your treatments. You should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours each day. This should give you plenty of time to take them out to brush, floss, eat, drink, and play sports. If you frequently don’t wear your aligners for enough time every day, you could increase the length and cost of your treatment.

Are Invisalign Results Permanent?

The results of your Invisalign have the potential to last for the rest of your life, as long as you take the right steps to protect your investment! It’s essential that you follow all Dr. Nawrocki’s instructions and wear your aligners every day for the right amount of time. In addition, just like any other orthodontic treatment, you’ll need to wear a custom retainer for a time once you’ve finished your Invisalign treatment. This will help hold your teeth in the right position permanently so you can enjoy a beautiful smile for life.

Can I Get Invisalign If I’ve Had Metal Braces Before?

Did you have traditional metal braces earlier in life, but now find that your teeth are crooked again? Unfortunately, this is a common problem, especially for patients who neglected to wear their retainers regularly. Thankfully, Invisalign is an excellent choice for correcting all sorts of misalignment and crowding, so there’s a very good chance that it can help you regain your results. However, every case is unique. During your consultation, Dr. Nawrocki will carefully inspect your teeth, jaw, and bite alignment to see if Invisalign is the most effective way to straighten your teeth.
