At Ball Dentistry, our doctors often recommend an Invisalign procedure rather than traditional braces. Invisalign treatment is a breakthrough orthodontic option that lets you have the smile you've always wanted without the hassle of braces. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, the Invisalign treatment straightens your teeth with results you'll notice sooner than you think. The course of treatment involves changing aligners approximately every two weeks, moving your teeth into a straighter position step-by-step, until you have a more beautiful smile. And unlike conventional braces, these clear aligners can be removed while you eat and brush your teeth as usual. Most patients can expect to wear their Invisalign clear aligners for about a year.

Ball Dentistry Reviews
I visited Ball Dentistry last week for a crown and had an excellent experience from start to finish. They were able to complete the entire crown in a single visit using their in-office scanner and milling technology, which was incredibly impressive and convenient.Dr. Craig and his assistant Misty were fantastic. They were professional, friendly, and very attentive throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was how comfortable the procedure was. It was honestly the least uncomfortable dental experience I have ever had.If you are looking for modern dental care that combines advanced technology with great patient care, I highly recommend Ball Dentistry.
Always very helpful and professional.
The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Weathers was very thorough and answered all my questions and concerns. I will be having my dental appointment at their office. Very kind
Love, love, love this dentist! My son and I have been patients here for at least a decade- truly wonderful people that offer top notch care and will not try to upsell you anything. Dr. Weathers and his staff are incredible. Hands down best dental care I’ve ever had in my life.
Always a great experience. They make you feel at ease. They did an awesome job with making my two upper front teeth straight across. Dr Weathers and his assistant go above and beyond.

Who Is A Candidate For Invisalign?
Adults and teenagers who want a less-noticeable alternative to traditional metal braces may be good candidates for Invisalign treatment. This treatment can be appropriate for resolving tooth misalignment (an underbite, open bite, overbite, or crossbite), a narrow arch, crooked or crowded teeth, and spaces between teeth. Taking care of such conditions could enhance comfort, jaw function, and speaking and eating abilities. Invisalign teeth aligners are easier to remove from the mouth, allowing Indianapolis, IN adults and teenagers to savor their favorite food items without restrictions and floss and brush their teeth without wires and brackets getting in the way. During your appointment at Ball Dentistry, a member of our team will take dental radiographs and then perform an exam to decide if Invisalign clear aligners are a good option for you.
How do Invisalign Aligners Work?
Invisalign aligners function through a series of transparent, removable mouth trays that gradually move your teeth into their desired position. To initiate your orthodontic care, a member of our Indianapolis, IN team will take an impression of your mouth, which will be forwarded to the dedicated lab where your customized clear aligners will be made. Once the aligners are sent to our practice, we will schedule you to come in to collect your beginning pair and review instructions for wearing them. The teeth aligners must be worn over your teeth for no less than 20 – 22 hours each day and only taken out right before brushing, flossing, eating meals or snacks, or drinking beverages. Every 1 – 2 weeks, you will trade your current pair of Invisalign trays for the next in succession. A member of our staff will help you set up monthly follow-up assessments at Ball Dentistry so our qualified Invisalign provider can review your orthodontic outcome.
What Can I Expect After Invisalign Treatment?
The time spent undergoing Invisalign aligners will vary based on personal cosmetic goals and needs; however, a number of individuals typically wear their removable, clear Invisalign aligners for around 1 – 2 years. After completing your orthodontic treatment, wearing a set of custom retainers is extremely important to prevent your teeth from moving. Custom Vivera® retainers are fabricated with the same comfortable material as the aligner trays and are custom-designed in the Invisalign laboratory. Once they arrive at Ball Dentistry, our clinical staff will speak with you about how often to wear your retainers, as well as how to clean them. Dr. Ball will consistently monitor the alignment of your teeth and your bite during your yearly dental visits.

Invisalign® Treatment FAQs
What do aligners look like?
Aligners are clear and nearly invisible. If you've ever seen clear teeth-whitening trays, that should give you a good idea of what the aligners look like. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit and move your teeth.
Will the treatment be painful?
Each time you change to a new aligner, there may be some temporary discomfort while your teeth adjust to their new position. This is completely normal, and is a good sign that the treatment is working.
Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect my speech?
Some people are affected more than others, but most adjust in a short period of time to the feeling of the aligners and do not have permanent changes in their speech.
How often will I have to wear my aligners?
Invisalign treatment only works while you're wearing the aligners. It's recommended that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush, and floss your teeth.
What happens after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?
This varies person to person and depends on the outcome of the treatment. Some patients might need a positioner, or conventional retainer. Other patients might need a clear plastic retainer.
How affordable is the Invisalign treatment?
The total cost of Invisalign treatment is similar to that of traditional braces. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment just as they would with regular metal braces. Every unique case has many different factors that can all affect total treatment cost, so it's extremely difficult to put a price tag on custom treatment plans. Ball Dentistry can do all the legwork for you and will check with your dental insurance provider to see just how much they will cover. Call our office at 317-846-3463 or request an appointment and come in to be evaluated. Only then will we be able to quote an Invisalign treatment plan, work with your insurance, and talk about available payment options. We will make sure there is no guessing and that you know how much your specific treatment will be. Most patients are amazed at just how affordable and easy it is to obtain a straighter smile!
