Invisalign – Copperas Cove, TX
A Metal-Free Solution for Crooked Teeth
When you’re no longer a kid, it can seem like achieving a straight smile isn’t possible anymore. Traditional metal braces are common in middle school, but spending years with a “metal mouth” is often too big a hurdle for adults. Thankfully, our team offers a simple and easy alternative for older patients – Invisalign clear braces! You can learn more about them by reading below or (better yet) call us to set up a consultation.

How Invisalign Works
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign is a series of clear, plastic trays for your smile. Wearing these “aligners” slowly shifts your teeth to the right positions with micro-movements. Once the trays have done that job, your grin should be (and look) aligned and balanced.
Patients have to follow set guidelines for an Invisalign procedure. For starters, you must wear the aligners for 7-14 days before moving to the next ones. The trays should also stay on your teeth for at least 22 hours daily; you’ll have treatment delays otherwise. Still, sticking to these and similar rules ensures a straight smile in only 12-18 months.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Given how it works, Invisalign is suited for mild to moderate cases of smile misalignment. The treatment’s trays are best used to address:
Crowded Teeth
When teeth become crowded, they harm your smile’s looks and health. The good news is that Invisalign would guide each tooth to where it should be. From there, your grin wouldn’t be smushed together.
Gaps Between Teeth
Spaced out teeth don’t exactly look good, and they harm your oral health. However, Invisalign can quickly fill those spaces with its trays. Its alignment process would slowly but surely close the gaps.
Bite Alignment
A crooked bite is a serious issue, as it puts you at risk of TMJ disorder, teeth grinding, etc. Still, Invisalign could handily solve that problem – it’s able to fix underbites, overbites, crossbites, and more.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Compared to metal braces, Invisalign offers many more benefits. The most notable ones include:
- Shorter Treatment Time – While metal braces often take two years to work, Invisalign only needs 12-18 months.
- More Discretion– Because Invisalign trays are nearly invisible, they don’t draw unwanted attention to your smile. Treatment is generally subtle and discreet.
- Hassle-Free Use – Invisalign aligners are removable, so they don’t interfere with meals or teeth cleaning. They’ll let you eat as usual and won’t make brushing or flossing hard.
- Fewer Follow-Ups – Metal braces need twenty to forty follow-up visits, while Invisalign only needs six to twelve.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
Invisalign is tailored for each patient, so its price tends to vary a lot. You’ll want to consult Dr. Celebi for an exact estimate before you commit to anything. As you visit with him, he’ll assess the factors that impact your treatment cost and find ways to make Invisalign more affordable. He and our office will even guide you through the role of dental insurance and other payment options. That way, your care will line up with your budget.
