Invisalign in Highlands Ranch

Invisalign work in a remarkable number dental situations . Invisalign work especially well in orthodontic relapse cases where the patient did not wear their retainer. What dentists and orthodontists are finding  is that teeth move with age.  What this means is you need to wear your orthodontic retainers for a life-time. Invisalign does not work very well in complex orthodontic cases with orthognathic surgery. For these patients traditional orthodontics with bands and brackets most likely would be needed. Highlands Ranch dentists Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp provide Family and Cosmetic dental services for their patients in the Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Parker, Centennial, Greenwood Village and the Denver area.

Invisalign asks you…are you your best investment?

Absolutely…. no matter what has gone on in your past a confident bright… straight smile can happen. Improving your smile has so many benefits that more and more patients are choosing Invisalign orthodontics

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a series of clear retainers that patients switch out about every two weeks. Each of these retainers (aligners) are  made to move your teeth in very small  0.25mm increments or less.

Complex dental cosmetic cases

In a few cases neither orthodontics or dental veneers will solve the esthetic concerns of patients. In these situations Invisalign can also be combined with dental veneers as an example to improve esthetic outcome.

What does Invisalign Cost in Highlands Ranch

Cost of  Invisalign treatment varies by the complexity of the case. An average case runs around $4500 (circa 2010) with some cases costing more… and some less. With Invisalign treatment we also include:

  • Your last aligners or retainers
  • Dental bleaching solution.  This whitening is normally a $500 value

Benefits of Invisalign

The benefits of Invisalign are many.  Most patients do not want to wear traditional braces and for the adult these nearly invisible retainers “may” be the solution for you.

  • Invisalign retainers are removable
  • The process  is customized for you
  • A vast majority of patients feel the Invisalign aligners are very comfortable
  • Invisalign retainers are clear and “nearly” invisible
  • Most feel they are comfortable
  • The Invisalign aligners allow you to brush and floss normally
  • Invisalign has no metal brackets or wires

Invisalign not only has cosmetic advantages but it promotes dental health. Straight teeth that are well aligned are much easier to brush and floss. These advantages to dental patients in Highlands Ranch “can” include:

  • Reduction in dental cavities especially between your teeth because plaque and calculus is easier to remove on straight teeth.
  • Your gums can become much healthier. Gum disease (periodontal disease) can be worsened by teeth that are crowded or too widely spaced.
  • Since you can remove these aligners it is much easier to brush and floss when compared to traditional braces. With traditional braces you need to use floss threader to get under the arch wire which most patients feel is time consuming…less effective… and frustrating.,
  • Since Invisalign does not use metal bands and wires food does not trap as easily. It makes your cleanings (prophys) go easier as well as reduce the risk of plaque buildup… tooth decay and gum disease (periodontal disease).

Invisalign combined with teeth whitening and re-shaping of teeth

Invisalign can also be combined with teeth whitening and selective re-coutouring to obtain a more pleasing esthetic outcome. Mis-shapened incisal edges of the teeth are the prime reason this treatment option is selected by patients.

Alternatives to Invisalign for Dental Patients in Highlands Ranch

Alternatives to Invisalign treatment include but are not limited to:

  • No treatment… leaving your teeth as is
  • Traditional orthodontics because your case is just too complex
  • Cosmetic veneers or porcelain veneer

Complimentary Invisalign Consultation

You should feel free to call and schedule a complimentary cosmetic dentistry consultation. A complimentary cosmetic consultation provides the following:

  • It provides a no-cost visit to see if you are a “candidate” for Invisalign
  • To see if you are a candidate for “other” cosmetic dental treatment
  • It allows you to have your questions answered ahead of time and to decide if our office is the right fit for you
  • It gives the Dr’s James and Candace DeLapp the opportunity to evaluate the level of complexity of your case. Some orthodontic cases are complex and the Dr.’s Candace and James DeLapp can at least give you at least an “idea” of how complex your case will be and their recommendations for your best result.
