A: Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to map the complete treatment from start to finish. From this plan, a series of custom-made aligners unique to your treatment is produced. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, and is then replaced by the next aligner. Gradually, the teeth move toward their final position.

A: Fortunately, the Invisalign system is often similar in price to traditional braces. Beause treatment costs vary from patient to patient, the cost of your treatment will be determined during your ininital consultation with a trained Invisalign provider.

If your family’s dental insurance includes orthodontic treatment, Invisalign may be covered. Talk to your insurance provider to determine the extent of coverage for your treatment.

Ask your doctor about affordable financing options that may be available to fit any budget. In addition, you may choose to use your Flexible Spending Account, if your employer provides it.

Invisalign is a virtually invisible solution, so you can smile both during treatment and after. In fact, almost no one will know you’re wearing it unless you tell them. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth right before your eyes. Change them about every two weeks, and your teeth will move – little by little – toward the smile you’ve always wanted.

Invisalign is comfortable to wear and easy to live with. You visit your doctor every month or two to check your progression and get new aligners. Average treatment time is only six to eighteen months. Because the aligners are removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods. And you can brush and floss normally to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
