Invisalign – Framingham, MA
Convenient, Clear, and Completely Metal-Free
For decades, patients who wanted a straighter smile and healthier bite had one choice: traditional braces. While effective and reliable, the metal brackets and wires are a bit of an eyesore, which left many hesitant to commit to orthodontic treatment. Thankfully, there is a considerably more discreet way to address crowded teeth, open bites, and the like: Invisalign! If you are interested in learning more about clear aligner treatment, give us a call to schedule a consultation or read on.

How Invisalign Works
The first step is the consultation, which is when we will determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. If the answer is “yes,” then we will create your custom treatment plan, take impressions of your teeth, and have a custom series of clear aligners made.
You’ll be given specific instructions on how long to wear each pair of aligners (usually between 1 and 2 weeks). You’ll also need to wear them for 20+ hours each day in order to stay on-track with your treatment plan. Every 6-8 weeks, you’ll come to our office so we can monitor the movement of your teeth as well.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Fortunately, Invisalign aligners aren’t just discreet; they are also versatile. In fact, they’ve helped countless patients with the following orthodontic problems over the years:
Crowded Teeth
When your teeth rotate out of their properly aligned positions, unique crevices form that trap food particles, plaque, and other debris. This may not seem like a huge deal, but it increases your risk of developing cavities significantly. Fortunately, Invisalign aligners are up for the task!
Gaps Between Teeth
If your teeth are spaced out, then you know all too well how easily debris can get caught. While this increases your risk of common oral health problems, there is some good news: Invisalign aligners can move your teeth together, closing the gaps in the process.
Bite Alignment
In addition to being able to improve the alignment of your teeth, Invisalign can improve the alignment of your bite! So, if you have an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, don’t just assume metal braces are your only option. We can achieve the same incredible results with Invisalign.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Over 17 million patients have chosen Invisalign because:
- The aligners are clear and comfortable
- There aren’t any dietary restrictions
- Brushing and flossing are easy
- The average treatment timeline is shorter
- There are fewer check-in visits
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
In short, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to the cost. This often surprises patients, but there’s a good reason for it: no two treatment plans are the same! In order to provide you with an accurate estimate of the price of your Invisalign treatment, we need to know more about your case, including how severe it is and how many aligners need to be made. Rest assured, we will provide you with a number and review the financial solutions available at your consultation.
