This is a revolution in orthodontics, at Severns Dentistry and Orthodontics we use Invisalign clear aligners to provide an effective way to straighten your teeth. Invisalign offers the best of both worlds: comfortable, efficient straightening with an essentially invisible appearance. At Severns we provide Invisalign in McMurray and the surrounding Pittsburgh area.
Wearing comfortable, customized aligners will gradually shift your teeth into their correct position. Correcting teeth alignment is imperative, not just cosmetically, but for overall health.
It’s tough work being a teenager today, with the increasing pressures of school, activities, and social events and adults have the pressure of work, bills, and more. That’s why many adults and teenagers are turning to Invisalign—the trendy teeth straightening treatment that’s quickly becoming the preferred choice of many.
When you are self-conscious about their appearance, and traditional metal braces don’t exactly blend in. This is why Invisalign is such a breath of fresh air. Your or your teenager’s teeth can be straightened while they feel good about how they look under treatment.
The clear, nearly invisible appearance of Invisalign or Invisalign Teen disguises braces beautifully. Adults can go to work without having to worry about braces and teens want to fit in, blend in, and look the part. Now they will. Also, the plastic aligners are smooth and comfortable, making them easy to wear. You won’t have to put up with periodic irritation or possible wires breakage.
Who wouldn’t like fewer trips to the orthodontist’s office? Hectic weekdays and weeknights make the convenience of Invisalign or Invisalign Teen a huge factor. You will receive your custom aligner trays ahead of time, with instructions on how to wear them—for how long and when to switch. It’s easy and straightforward and perfect for a busy family.
Flossing your teeth is a breeze with Invisalign! Your teen can simply remove the aligners while eating, brushing, and flossing. This lessens the chance of food getting caught in the wires and brackets and increases the likelihood that your teen will floss and keep their gums healthy. Everyday Invisalign maintenance is simple so you can a smile you love with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Since you can remove your aligners to eat and drink, you do not have to restrict yourself from foods such as popcorn, like you would with traditional braces. However, you do want to maintain proper care of your aligners.
To care for your aligners, you can use the Invisalign Cleaning System, or you can brush them with a toothbrush and toothpaste, then rinse them with lukewarm water. Hot water should be avoided because it can warp the plastic and ruin the aligner.
You also want to make sure you brush your teeth after every meal before putting your aligners back in your mouth. See more everyday Invisalign maintenance tips here.
Invisalign treatment is a process where you wear a series of clear, removable aligners that work to gradually straighten your teeth. You will not have the discomfort of brackets or wires and will not have the same restrictions that metal braces come with.
Invisalign treatment costs are similar to the cost of traditional metal braces. Your dentist will determine your treatment cost, which will depend on the complexity of your case and how many aligners you will need.
Many insurance policies cover Invisalign the same way they provide coverage for metal braces. Check with your insurance provider to see if they cover a certain percentage of your treatment or a certain dollar amount.
If you have had your braces removed and experience shifting in your teeth, Invisalign can likely be used to fix this issue. If you have veneers or crowns, you may be able to use Invisalign, but you will need to discuss it with your dentist first. If you’ve had bridgework, which connects two or more teeth, Invisalign may not be an option since it is designed to move each tooth individuall
If you lose or break an aligner, contact your doctor immediately so they can give your recommendations for keeping your treatment on track, such as wearing a previous set of aligners or your next set. You may also need to wait for replacement aligners to be ordered.
Invisalign can be used by both teens and adults who are looking for an alternative to metal braces. With Invisalign, nearly all simple to complex bite issues and teeth-straightening issues can be treated. With the discreet blue dot on the outside of the teen aligners, it is easy for parents to make sure their child is wearing the aligners long enough each day. An exam with your dentist is the best way to determine if you are an Invisalign candidate.
