Average Cost of Invisalign in Washington DC?

Another concern with swimming with them in is if you take in a lot of water.  The aligners COULD trap the chemically treated water around the teeth and over time may affect the enamel.  Swimmers teeth is common with competitive swimmers and could be worsened with aligners.  Maybe.

It likely DOES matter, but I haven't seen a gap that couldn't be closed with Invisalign.  It may take longer than desired, but gaps can be closed well.

While they won't be damaged, they also won't move.  At all. Implants make great anchors for leverage, especially with Invisalign.  Invisalign is a gentle process and won't damage the crown or implant.

But you'll need to retrain your lips to direct the flow of air into the mouthpiece. Its totally doable and shouldn't be a problem. I know saxaphonist that use invisalign but they are reed instruments.

The gaps will be closed by pushing the teeth together and pulling them back slightly. If anything it should give you a nice lip line that is more symetrical and when you smile your upper lip will not have a tendency to roll up over your teeth. I've always seen an improvement in lip line...

The fee for express is lower because there are fewer aligners used and the case is not complex.  Full cases for Invisalign allow for a few mid-course corrections, but Express does not.  If changes are needed, there will likely be a fee. The decision is up to each office.
