How Invisalign Works
Instead of the traditional orthodontics model, Invisalign features a series of clear, custom aligners that are crafted from high-quality plastic. Each specific aligner represents a different stage of your smile’s improvement, and the patient’s job is to wear them as directed and switch to the next one in their set at regular intervals (usually every couple of weeks). The total amount of aligners will differ between cases, but most patients can expect to wear about 20-29 overall.
Who Invisalign Can Help
Invisalign can be used to successfully correct several common orthodontic concerns, including the following:
Crowded Teeth
Unfortunately, overcrowding of certain teeth can increase the likelihood of tooth decay and periodontal disease. The good news is that Invisalign is as effective as it is discreet, ensuring your teeth are moved into their properly aligned positions in an average of just 12 to 18 months!
Gaps Between Teeth
In addition to small spaces between teeth, Invisalign can correct large gaps caused by abnormal jaw growth or missing teeth. Since the aligners are clear, you’ll be able to see your teeth move closer and closer together before your eyes!
Bite Alignment
Crossbites, overbites, and underbites are all orthodontic issues that can negatively impact the look and function of your smile. Once again, Invisalign can help! Buttons, attachments, and rubber bands are just a few accessories that can be added to your treatment plan to improve the position of your teeth and your bite.
The Benefits of Invisalign
There are several reasons why Invisalign remains one of the most popular teeth-straightening solutions! When worn, the clear plastic aligners have a pleasing and subtle appearance against your smile, which allows patients to maintain confidence throughout their treatment. They’re also removable, which means that you can continue to enjoy all of your favorite foods and brush and floss like normal. Plus, they require fewer check-in visits, and the average treatment timeline is 12-18 months.
Understanding the Cost of Invisalign
Patients often assume that there’s a flat fee for Invisalign. In reality, the cost varies depending on several factors – that’s why the initial consultation is so important! As always, our team will go the extra mile to make understanding the financial side of your treatment easy. In addition to providing you with a price estimate and answering any questions you have, we can review all the ways you can make clear aligner treatment fit into your budget, like joining our dental savings plan. In the meantime, you can read on to learn more on the topic of price!
A Few Factors That Affect the Cost of Invisalign
At your initial consultation, your Roselle Park dentist will review your dental history, take a look at your X-rays, examine your teeth and gums, and learn all about your smile goals. In the process, they will determine if you need to straighten both arches of teeth, how complex your case is, the type of retainer you need, and, ultimately, if you are a good candidate for Invisalign. If the answer is “yes,” then they will move onto the next step: reviewing the financial solutions available to you.
Invisalign vs. Mail-In Aligners: Which Costs More?
The large majority of the time, mail-in aligners cost less. Why? To start, they skip the initial consultation completely and use DIY impressions to create the trays. Furthermore, the treatment plans usually aren’t created or overseen by a licensed dental professional. In other words, they cut corners to cut costs. That’s why professional dental organizations don’t support these alternatives either.
In short, Invisalign will likely require a higher upfront investment, but it’s well worth it.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?
Although dental insurance providers typically cover preventive and restorative care, there are some that include partial coverage of orthodontic treatments, like Invisalign, too. So, if you are currently insured, take a look at the fine print on your plan to see what is and isn’t covered! At Roselle Park Dental & Implants, we accept in and out-of-network plans from many popular providers, including Aetna, Delta Dental, Guardian, and Principal. If you have any questions or need help utilizing your available coverage, then get in touch with us to schedule an appointment!
