Invisalign® Treatment in Philadelphia and Bensalem, PA

Invisalign is a series of clear aligners which gently move the teeth into a straight position. It is very cosmetic and has become very popular in recent years. Each aligner slowly pushes the teeth into a new position. Over time, the teeth gradually move into a straight alignment.

Invisalign Treatment with Dr. Slutsky

Dr. Slutsky has extensive training and experience in clear aligner treatment to ensure your treatment success. However, if your aligners aren't working out for any reason, we will finish with metal braces at no additional cost.

Invisalign Treatment Benefits

• Effective: Invisalign clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
• Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment, because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!
• Comfortable: Invisalign clear aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like.
• Convenient: Once treatment is started, most visits are every eight weeks to check the movement of the teeth and that the aligners are fitting properly.

Tips for Success

It is very important that you wear your aligners as instructed, about 22-23 hours per day. If you don't wear the aligners, your teeth won't move properly.

To avoid cavities, we recommend that every time you eat or drink something (except for water), you brush before you place the aligners back in your mouth. This is because when you wear aligners, saliva does not reach the teeth the way it does with regular braces, and the acids from the foods that you eat can help cause cavities.

Ten-Year Essix (Clear) Retainer Policy

When you complete orthodontic treatment, if you choose Essix (clear) retainers, we will provide you with 3D digital models. If you lose or break your Essix retainers, we will make one set per year after the braces are removed at no charge. We can use those digital models to make your new ESSIX retainers for up to ten years from the date your braces are removed unless your teeth shift, you lose or break the digital models, or you receive dental work that prevents a proper fit. The fee for a new Essix retainer is $365.00 ($730.00 for a set of two); this fee is subject to change.

Is Invisalign right for you?

Although Invisalign can treat many types of malocclusions, there are certain cases that are better treated with traditional braces, such as patients with impacted teeth. Dr. Slutsky will evaluate your treatment needs to determine if Invisalign is right for you during your free consultation at our Philadelphia or Bensalem, PA orthodontic office.
