How Invisalign® Clear Aligners Work
As we begin the planning stages of your Invisalign treatment, Dr. Glynn makes use of unique 3D technology to create a plan that fits your specific needs. This includes showing what your smile will look like after it’s complete, even before you begin wearing your first clear aligner! After you receive the series of aligners, you’ll only need to wear each one for about two weeks before moving on to the next pair. Keep in mind that it’s important that you visit us once every six weeks to confirm your treatment progress. Most Invisalign cases can be completed in just one year on average, which is sure to give you more than one reason to smile!
Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign® Clear Aligners?
Teens and adults alike can benefit from discreet orthodontics using the Invisalign system. To determine whether or not you are a good candidate for clear braces, your dentist in Reynoldsburg will examine your orthodontic needs as well as the health of your teeth and gums in an initial consultation. Invisalign corrects the most common orthodontic issues, including:
Crowded Teeth
Do your teeth overlap? Then they may be trapping food particles and plaque, making it more difficult to clean your teeth properly. Fortunately, Invisalign can be relied on to guide your teeth into their perfectly aligned positions, benefiting the look and function of your teeth.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps, even minor ones, can take a toll on your self-esteem. Like crowded teeth, this orthodontic issue can also cause plaque and other debris to get lodged in the unique crevices of your teeth, increasing your chances of developing gum disease and tooth decay in the process. Don’t worry – the clear aligners can help!
Bite Alignment
An uneven bite won’t just impede your ability to chew properly; it also has the potential to hinder your ability to speak clearly as well. Fortunately, Invisalign can correct both misaligned teeth and uneven bites. In short, whether you have an open bite or a crossbite, you may not need the metal!
The Benefits of Invisalign®
Invisalign moves teeth into their preferred position using a series of clear, removable trays. Using trays instead of brackets and wires allows you to enjoy a more comfortable and discreet treatment. You won’t have to worry about developing mouth abrasions since there’s no metal involved -- and you will never have to schedule an emergency appointment to fix a broken bracket or loose wire.
However, those aren’t the only benefits you can expect. These trays can also be removed when it’s time to perform brushing and flossing as well as eat meals. No matter what your favorite foods might be, you can still enjoy them when completing treatment.
Your oral care doesn’t have to change either. Invisalign uses zero metal hardware to straighten teeth, which means you also won’t have to visit us as often just to have it tightened. Rather, you’ll only come in occasionally so we can confirm your progress. Overall, you spend less time thinking about orthodontic treatment and more time enjoying your smile.
Understanding the Cost of Invisalign®
Before you begin the Invisalign process, you should have a clear idea of how much it will cost. Our team aims to be transparent when it comes to the financial aspect of your care; we will give you a reliable estimate during your initial consultation, and we will answer any cost-related questions you might have. Below are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to the potential price tag of Invisalign.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Invisalign®
First of all, there’s the question of how many arches are involved in your treatment. While Invisalign is typically used to straighten the upper and lower rows of teeth at the same time, some patients only have it performed for one arch. As you can probably guess, a single-arch treatment tends to have a lower price tag than a two-arch treatment.
Additionally, the complexity of your case also needs to be taken into account. People with more severe misalignment issues can normally expect to pay more for Invisalign. On top of that, the longer your Invisalign treatment takes, the more it will likely cost.
Invisalign® vs. Mail-In Aligners: Which Costs More?
On paper, mail-in aligners tend to have a lower cost than Invisalign. However, one of the downsides of mail-in aligners is that there’s no dental professional monitoring your progress. As such, there’s a higher chance of problems occurring and not being caught until it’s too late. In the worst-case scenario, you could end up with serious dental issues that require additional (and potentially costly) treatment.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign®?
Dental insurance plans that include coverage for orthodontic treatments will often help pay for Invisalign. Of course, not every plan is the same; a service that’s covered under one policy may not necessarily be covered under another.
It’s best to take the time to review your dental insurance policy to confirm whether you can use your benefits to cover the cost of Invisalign. Remember that you can always call your insurance company to confirm the details of your benefits. Additionally, our team can go over your plan with you and clarify any details that you don’t understand.
Options for Making Invisalign® Affordable
Even if you don’t have a dental insurance plan that will help pay for Invisalign, you can still make the cost of the treatment more affordable via financing. Our practice is happy to work with CareCredit and Lending Club, two third-party financing companies that are trusted by dental offices across the country. Signing up for a third-party financing plan lets you break up the cost of your care into smaller installments, which can make paying for Invisalign significantly easier on your budget.
If you’re interested in pursuing Invisalign but are worried about the costs involved, don’t hesitate to let our team know during your initial consultation. We can review your payment options in more detail with you and help you put together a plan.
