3 Things You Might Not Know About Invisalign® Life
Taking care of your clear aligners is incredibly easy.
Unlike with braces, taking care of Invisalign aligners is very straightforward. When it comes time for your regular brushing and flossing routine, you can remove the clear plastic aligners with no problem. To keep them fresh and clear, simply soak them in an aligner cleaning solution once a day.
You can still eat your favorite foods.
You’ll be able to eat as usual without the food restrictions imposed by traditional metal braces. Invisalign aligners are completely removable when it’s time to eat! Just make sure to brush your teeth before popping them back in. (Pro tip: You can drink plain water with them on, but stick to removing them for coffee, tea, or soda to avoid stains).
You'll boost your dental health and save on bills.
Misaligned teeth (known as malocclusion) can lead to a wide range of dental issues like gingivitis, tooth decay, chronic jaw pain, and a decline in your long-term oral health. Seeking out Invisalign treatment from your trusted dentist in Austin is one of the best preventative health choices you can make for your future.

Jump to a question:
How much does Invisalign cost in North Austin?
The cost of Invisalign treatment at Parmer Lane Family Dentistry varies based on the complexity of your case and how many aligners are required. Generally, clear aligner therapy is comparable in cost to traditional braces. We offer flexible, monthly payment plans to fit your budget and maximize any insurance benefits available.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most adult Invisalign treatments take between 12 to 18 months to achieve the final, ideal result. However, more minor adjustments (small gaps, slight overcrowding) can show incredible improvements in as little as 6 months. Invisalign works when you wear it! You'll need to use your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day.
Does dental insurance cover clear aligners?
Many dental insurance plans in Texas include orthodontic benefits that cover Invisalign just like standard metal braces. Because insurance policies vary, our team will gladly run a complimentary coverage check during your initial consultation to determine your exact out-of-pocket costs.
Is wearing Invisalign aligners painful?
Invisalign is generally considered much more comfortable than traditional braces because there are no sharp metal brackets or wires to poke your cheeks or gums. You may feel some mild pressure or soreness for the first couple of days after switching a set of aligners, which is a sign that your teeth are safely moving into place.
What is it like cleaning my teeth with Invisalign?
One of the best parts about cleaning your teeth with Invisalign is the ability to take out your aligner, clean your teeth thoroughly, clean your aligner, and put it back in. Ask anyone who's had traditional braces; this is a heaven-sent!
