Invisalign
Crooked, crowded teeth can make you feel insecure about your smile, and bulky metal braces may not seem worth the hassle.
Dr. Mark Luria and his Dearborn, MI, team can use Invisalign® to comfortably and discreetly refine the look of your teeth.
Find out how Invisalign treatment from Dearborn Family Dentistry can give you a stunning smile.
A Truly Modern Orthodontic Treatment
Invisalign treatment involves a set of clear aligners that work to straighten teeth much more
comfortably than metal braces. Aligner sets are customized for your individual needs and
designed to gently straighten your smile over time. These discreet aligners are thin,
require little maintenance, and work just as effectively as braces in many cases. With
proper dental upkeep, the benefits of Invisalign can last you a lifetime.

Why Choose Invisalign Over Another Orthodontic Treatment?
Here are just some of the reasons why these removable clear aligners are such a popular treatment:
They're Discreet
You may hesitate to smile for a photo with noticeable metal braces on your teeth. With these thin, removable aligners, you can feel free to show off your smile and create lasting memories with loved ones.
A Safe Choice
Every athlete cringes at the thought of being hit in the mouth while wearing metal braces. Because Invisalign clear aligners are made of flexible plastic, you can play sports without any fear of painful collisions between braces and the sensitive tissues of your mouth.
No Need for an Orthodontist
Because Invisalign is intended to treat a wide range of mild to moderate dental issues instead of severe problems, it does not require an orthodontist to prescribe. While an orthodontist can treat patients with clear aligners, your Dearborn dentist is fully qualified to see you through the Invisalign process.
No Dietary Restrictions
Patients with traditional braces often have to cut favorite foods out of their diet during treatment, but with removable aligners, you can eat and drink whatever you want on your own schedule.
Reduce Nighttime Grinding and Headaches During Treatment
Do you often wake up with a headache because of tooth grinding or jaw clenching during sleep? Invisalign aligners act as a soft barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing the pain and wear caused by nighttime grinding.
Invisalign Is a Great Alternative to Metal Braces
Dr. Najib Taleb of Dearborn Family Dentistry goes over the basics of Invisalign, a popular alternative to metal braces. Rather than brackets and wires, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligner trays to gradually shift crooked teeth into proper alignment. During a consultation at our Dearborn, MI, dentist's office, we can discuss the process in greater detail.

Thank you !
View on GoogleWhat to Know Before Choosing Invisalign
There are a few important considerations to understand before choosing Invisalign treatment:
Committing to
the Process
Because Invisalign allows you an unprecedented level of freedom compared to traditional braces or other orthodontic treatments, it requires a deep personal commitment to achieve the best results. Patients must wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Length
of Treatment
While Invisalign can transform your smile more quickly than traditional braces, the process can take several months to over a year depending on the original state of your teeth. Our Dearborn, MI, practice can provide an estimated treatment timeline during your initial dental consultation.
Adjustment
Period
In your first few days with Invisalign, you may notice some mild discomfort. This is completely normal and occurs as your teeth adjust to the aligners. When you switch to new aligners throughout the treatment process, the discomfort may return, but it should not last for more than a few days at a time.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment is typically similar to that of traditional braces, but because each treatment plan is customized, prices can vary. The good news is that many insurance plans help to cover the cost of Invisalign just as they would with braces or other orthodontic alternatives. Our Dearborn, MI, team will work with your provider to secure the best coverage available to you. For uninsured patients, we work with CareCredit®, a third-party lender that offers low-interest or interest-free loans so that you can comfortably afford the cost of treatment.
Your Personalized Path to a New Smile
Your orthodontic treatment will be completely tailored to you, and our team will be with you every step of the way, helping to ensure optimal results.

View on GoogleHow to Care for Your Clear Aligners
Here are some tips to help you keep your aligners and smile in top shape:
Remove When Eating
Eating or drinking anything but water while wearing Invisalign can damage or discolor your aligner and negatively impact your dental health.
Daily Cleaning
Cleaning your aligners as part of your regular brushing and flossing routine is important for your oral health. Avoid using abrasive materials that can damage plastic.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Because Invisalign aligners are made of flexible plastic, they should never be exposed to very hot water during cleaning. Excessive heat can warp the plastic and interrupt your treatment timeline.
Maintaining Your Results After Orthodontics
After you've put in the hard work, money, and effort to straighten your teeth, without ongoing care, your teeth can drift back into their old misaligned positions. Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, you will have to wear a retainer or the final set of your Invisalign aligners to keep your teeth in their newly aligned positions. Your dentist will tell you how often and how long to wear your retainer to maintain your well-earned results.
Invisalign Attachments Make Treatment Possible for More Patients
If you have previously been told you are not a candidate for aligner treatment because of severe dental misalignment, our dentists have good news for you. Our Dearborn office offers Invisalign attachments, which can help correct much more complicated issues than aligners alone.
What are attachments?
Invisalign attachments are tiny resin-based spots carefully placed on the surfaces of the teeth to help the aligners stay in place. These attachments create a stronger bond between the teeth and the aligner for more efficient straightening.
Will my attachments be noticeable?
Your dentist can precisely match an Invisalign attachment to the natural color of your tooth, making the attachment as discreet as your aligner itself.
Are attachments difficult to place?
Bonding an attachment to the tooth is a very simple process. Your dentist will determine the best location on the tooth for the attachment based on your personal treatment plan, then they will carefully place it and cure it to achieve a stable bond.
Are attachments permanent?
Not at all! Once you have completed treatment with your clear aligners, your dentist will quickly and painlessly buff any attachments off of your teeth, leaving no permanent mark or damage to the teeth.
Will I need attachments?
Most patients do not require Invisalign attachments to achieve results. Your dentist will only recommend attachments if your treatment plan is especially complicated or if Invisalign would not otherwise be an option for you. If your misalignment is severe enough that it cannot be corrected even with the help of Invisalign attachments, your dentist can refer you to an orthodontist.
