To give you more insights into Invisalign® treatment, let’s discuss some common questions patients have about Invisalign® clear aligners.
What Are Invisalign® Clear Aligners?
Invisalign® clear aligners are custom-made, virtually invisible trays that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike traditional braces, they’re removable, comfortable, and discreet, making them a popular choice for teens and adults.
How Does the Treatment Process Work?
Your journey begins with a consultation, during which your provider evaluates your smile and creates a digital 3D treatment plan. Then, you’ll receive a series of aligners, each slightly different, to be worn in sequence. Every one to two weeks, you switch to a new set, guiding your teeth closer to their desired alignment.
How Long Does Invisalign® Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies depending on your case, but most patients complete Invisalign® in 6 to 18 months. Consistency is key—wearing your aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours daily ensures the most efficient results.
How Much Does Invisalign® Cost?
The final cost will ultimately depend on the complexity of your case and the required treatment length. Typically, Invisalign® pricing is around $4,000 to $6,000. During your consultation, our team will review your personalized treatment plan and provide a cost estimate.
Does Insurance Cover Invisalign®?
Many dental insurance plans do offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign®. Please contact your insurance provider to confirm the specifics of your coverage. We can also help you review your benefits and explore payment options, including flexible financing, to make treatment more affordable.
How Do I Wear and Care for My Invisalign® Aligners?
To get the best results, wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours daily and remove them only when eating, drinking (anything other than water), or brushing. Clean your aligners gently with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water, and always store them in their protective case when not in use.
