Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional braces, and eliminates the need for brackets and wires. The Invisalign system uses clear aligner trays to gently move your teeth into place over time. This treatment is discrete and are the trays are comfortable when worn.

When you decide to move forward with Invisalign we take photos as well as detailed impressions of your teeth, and create a customized treatment that works best for you. The Invisalign trays can be easily removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning. This treatment is popular for both adults and teens, and treatment time is similar to traditional braces.

How Long Are Invisalign Trays Worn?

When you choose Invisalign you must be committed to wearing your trays for the required amount of time each day. The Invisalign aligners come with a blue indicator to tell you that you have worn your tray for the required amount of time. Invisalign trays are typically worn between 20-22 hours per day, and this varies per patient. Treatment time on average is between 6-18 months, and the length of treatment time depends on the severity of the correction.

Invisalign is a popular treatment choice for many patients, and provides exceptional results. Patients are required to attend regular exams in our office to ensure your treatment is progressing in the right direction. Our team works with you to ensure your treatment plan goes smoothly.

How Long Do Crowns Last?

Crowns are used to restore or save a damaged tooth. They are similar to a cap that is placed over the tooth, and give patients the ability to use their tooth again. Crowns are highly durable, look natural, and can help restore the strength of a damaged tooth. A crown is cemented onto the damaged tooth, and is a common restoration process done in our office.

Crowns can last between 5-15 years, and this depends on the individual, and the wear and tear of the crown. It is important to follow good oral hygiene habits to keep your crown healthy, and avoid the need for replacement. In some cases, if patients take good care of their crowns, they can last between 25-30 years.

When Are Crowns Used?

Crowns are used after a root canal treatment to restore a tooth. Crowns can also help restore a tooth that is stained, misshapen, discolored or broken. If a patient has had an injury, or has a cracked tooth, crowns can help save the tooth, and restore the tooth back to its normal function.

What Can I Do To Help Lengthen the Life of My Crown?

We recommend patients avoid biting down on hard objects or foods. If you clench your teeth while you sleep, or suffer from bruxism, you may need a mouthguard to help protect your crown. Attending your regular exams and cleanings in our office is important. This helps our team ensure your teeth and crowns are healthy and in good condition.

If you notice you have a chip or crack, or are experiencing any prolonged pain with your crown, we recommend calling our office right away. These issues must be addressed immediately, and patients should not hesitate to contact our office.
