...I never imagined I would smile as much as I do now- a genuine, full smile because I was so insecure about my teeth before Dr. Wilderman and staff fixed it.
I am so happy with the end result and with my whole experience with Artistic Expressions Dentistry. I would highly recommend to anyone!

How Does
Invisalign Work?

/

The Invisalign clear aligners use custom-fitted trays that apply constant yet gentle pressure to your teeth, bringing them back into alignment. For your treatment, you will be given several sets of trays. Each straightening tray is replaced with the next in the series every two weeks, furthering your treatment until you achieve your ideal smile.

What Can Invisalign Correct?

With Invisalign, you can forego the orthodontist and correct mild to moderate misalignment issues like:
Gapped front teeth

Gapped Teeth

Gapped teeth are a common concern for teens and many adults. Invisalign clear aligners can discreetly close that gap by putting your teeth back into alignment and restoring your confident smile.

Crooked teeth

Crooked Teeth

Also a common concern for teens and adults, crooked teeth can hamper the aesthetics of your smile and the function of your bite. Depending on the severity, crooked teeth can also put stress on your TMJs. Invisalign will gradually guide those crooked teeth back into position to create a beautiful and functional smile.

Crowded teeth

Crowded Teeth

Crowded teeth occur when your molars, incisors, and canines overlap. Dental crowding causes difficulty when trying to clean your teeth and gums, which makes it more than just a cosmetic dental problem. Invisalign can put your teeth into proper alignment by spacing them out, benefitting both your appearance and your oral health.

Overbite

Overbite and Underbite

An overbite or underbite can cause your jaw to be in misalignment while resting and while chewing. Over time, this can cause a TMJ disorder and lead to much more serious dental health concerns. Invisalign works to reposition your teeth and allow your upper and lower teeth to meet properly.

I spent hours researching top cosmetic dentists to have my discolored front teeth improved.  I was elated and relieved to find Dr Wilderman.  I felt confident the moment I called for my first appointment.  Janette, at the front desk, is so friendly and welcoming.  You can feel the closeness of the staff and Dr Wilderman.  They all were so excited for me to get the smile I was hiding for so long...

I’ve never had a better experience with a dentist and their assistants than I’ve had at artistic expressions. As soon as you walk in the door, you’re comfortable. They answered all my questions and concerns with realistic answers/plenty of knowledge. If there was an option for more than 5 stars, I would of chose that. I am so happy with my results! I will continue to recommend them to everyone!

Orthodontics Can Prevent Health Issues

Orthodontics like Invisalign and traditional braces not only give you a straighter smile, but also prevent health issues associated with misaligned teeth. For example, overlapping teeth can make flossing and brushing more challenging, increasing your risk of tooth decay.

A misaligned bite can also put excess pressure on your temporomandibular joints (TMJs). Your jaw will naturally try to overcompensate for a misaligned bite, but over time, this causes significant strain that can lead to TMJ disorder. Symptoms include headaches and a locking jaw joint.

You can take a proactive stand against these issues by consulting us about Invisalign and metal braces.

The Timeline Of Invisalign Treatment

The Invisalign process is simple and occurs in several stages. The first step is always to contact our Philadelphia-area office to schedule your consultation.

Most patients need to wear the aligners for an average of 12 months

Consultation

During your consultation, our dentist will help you decide whether Invisalign is the ideal option to fit your dental and aesthetic needs. If it is decided you are a good candidate, our dentist will create your customized treatment plan. 

Imaging

Our dentist will start by creating a digital 3-D image of your teeth. These images serve a dual purpose. The first is that they give you a glimpse of what your smile may look like during and after treatment. The second is to help create the 20-30 customized alignment trays.

Trays

The customized alignment trays will progressively straighten your teeth during your treatment. The number of trays you require depends on the severity of your misalignment. Our dentist will work with you to design a treatment that meets your health needs and cosmetic goals.

Your New Smile

Most patients need to wear the aligners for an average of 12 months, while some may need the treatment for as little as six months. You will have an idea of how long you'll require treatment before you receive your aligners. Once your treatment is complete, you can enjoy your new beautiful smile.

Tips For a Successful Treatment 

Be Aware of What You Drink

You should avoid drinking acidic, sugary, or dark-colored liquids while wearing your aligners, because this could cause the aligners to become stained. Sugar and acids can also become trapped in your aligners and affect your teeth. You should also avoid hot beverages, which can warp your aligners. 

Record your Daily Use

To get the most out of your Invisalign treatment, you have to wear your clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. The time you spend eating and drinking can add up, potentially cutting into the amount of time you should be wearing your retainer. Keep track of how much time you spend without your aligner each day to stay on target.

Attend Check-Ups

Dr. Wilderman will schedule check-up appointments during and after your Invisalign treatment. This is also an opportunity to address any issues that develop and make necessary adjustments. 

My Aligners Have Been Damaged What Should I Do?

/

If your aligners have been lost or damaged, call our Doylestown, PA, office right away. Depending on where you are in your treatment, Dr. Wilderman will either send you a new set that is the same as the lost or damaged trays, or advise that you wear your next trays. You should not go without wearing any aligners because this can delay and alter the outcome of your treatment.

What to Expect After Invisalign Treatment

/

The results from your clear orthodontics can last a lifetime if you follow your post-treatment instructions. Whether you wear Invisalign or traditional braces, you will have to wear a retainer (usually while sleeping) after completing your treatment to help keep your teeth in their proper positions. You may be able to wear the last aligner tray in the series as a retainer.

The Cost Of Invisalign Treatment

The cost of Invisalign is similar to conventional braces. However, many factors can affect the overall cost of your treatment:

Severity of Misalignment

The complexity and severity of your misalignment can have a significant impact on your treatment expense. Patients with minor misalignment require less up-front planning and will achieve their desired results more quickly, both of which reduce cost. Those with more complicated cases of misalignment will require more advanced treatment with specialized aligners and a greater number of appointments at our Philadelphia-area office, which raises the overall cost.

Time

The treatment timeline is the amount of time you will need to use Invisalign to achieve optimal alignment. Most patients will need to wear the aligners for around 12 months, similar to conventional braces. Shorter treatments require fewer sets of custom-created aligners, meaning lower costs overall. You can save money and achieve your results quicker by closely following your dentist's instructions and wearing the aligners for the required amount of time each day.

Insurance

Most insurance plans cover orthodontic treatments including Invisalign, up to a certain amount. To ensure you get the most coverage from your insurance plan, our Philadelphia staff will work closely with you to correctly submit the necessary documentation. We want you to pay as little out-of-pocket as possible so you can enjoy the benefits of Invisalign treatment on any budget. We also offer CareCredit® financing to help make your out-of-pocket expenses manageable.

Can I Finance My Invisalign Treatment?

/

If you need to finance any portion of your Invisalign treatment not covered by insurance, Dr. Wilderman and our staff will work to help you choose a financing plan that is right for you. Our office accepts credit cards and CareCredit financing, which can make any out-of-pocket costs more manageable. Our Philadelphia staff is committed to making the treatment you need a comfortable fit for your budget.
