Metal braces work. That’s not the question. The real question is: do you want brackets and wires in your mouth for two years? For most adults and teens in Nashville, the answer is no. That’s where Invisalign comes in. At 615 Smile Design, we’re proud to offer Invisalign as a comfortable, discreet way to straighten teeth. No metal or poking wires. No one has to know you’re even wearing them.
How Invisalign Is Different
Traditional braces use brackets glued to the front of each tooth. A metal wire connects them all. Tightening that wire creates pressure that slowly moves teeth.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners instead. Each set of aligners is custom-made for your mouth. You wear each set for about two weeks, then switch to the next one. Little by little, your teeth move into place.
The best part? The aligners are practically invisible. Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them unless you tell them.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign can fix many common bite problems, including:
- Crooked teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
Dr. Sivaneri evaluates each patient individually. Some complex cases might need other approaches. But for most teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment issues, Invisalign works great.
What the Process Looks Like
Getting Invisalign at our Nashville office is straightforward. First, we’ll take a look at your smile, discuss your goals, and decide if Invisalign is right for you. No pressure. Just honest advice. Then we take digital impressions. No goopy putty here. We use a digital scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth. It’s fast, comfortable, and accurate.
That 3D model helps us map out every movement your teeth will make. We can even show you a preview of your new smile before you start. You’ll receive a full set of aligners. Wear them 20 to 22 hours a day. Take them out to eat, brush, and floss. Every two weeks or so, you move to the next set. Most Invisalign treatments take 12 to 18 months. Then you’re done. Many patients say the time flies by.
Why Patients Love Invisalign
We hear the same things again and again from our Invisalign patients:
- “No one notices I’m wearing them.” Perfect for job interviews, dates, and school photos.
- “I can eat whatever I want.” Take the aligners out for popcorn, nuts, or anything else. No food restrictions.
- “Brushing and flossing are easy.” No wires to thread around. Just remove the aligners and brush normally.
- “Fewer office visits.” No emergency trips for broken brackets or poking wires.
Invisalign for Teens and Adults
We offer Invisalign for both groups. Teen versions include special compliance indicators that show if they’re wearing the aligners enough. Adults love the convenience and discretion.
Does Insurance Cover Invisalign?
Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign at the same rate as traditional braces. We also offer third-party financing options. Our team can help check your benefits and explain the costs upfront, no surprises.
