What is Invisalign?
If you dream of a straighter smile, but can't see yourself wearing traditional braces, then Invisalign could be for you.
Invisalign's aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and gradually move your teeth. Because they can easily be taken out, you can eat, brush and floss normally. It is effective for adults of all ages and has become a popular alternative to more traditional orthodontic treatments. Using the latest 3-D computer technology, a progressive plan is made so you change aligners as your teeth slowly move. Before the treatment even begins, this virtual view allows you to see how great your smile will look at its completion.
No one will know you are wearing them, but they will certainly notice your new, more beautiful smile!
How Invisalign Works
Teeth are gradually shifted using a series of clear plastic trays, with each set worn for about 22 hours a day before transitioning to the next set approximately every two weeks. Every 6-8 weeks, our patients will return to our office to ensure they are making sufficient progress and any concerns are addressed. While the average Invisalign treatment spans 12-18 months, the duration may vary depending on the initial alignment of the teeth.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign is the modern answer to traditional metal braces. Designed for comfort and convenience, these clear aligners provide a subtle and effective way to straighten your teeth that fits right into your lifestyle. Our team at Dental Health & Wellness Boston wants to help you enjoy the benefits of Invisalign, whether you’re looking for a more aesthetic smile, enhanced oral health, or boosted confidence. So, read more below to see how Invisalign could be the perfect treatment for you!
A Comfortable Fit for Your Busy Life
One of the standout features of Invisalign is its comfort. Made from smooth, durable plastic, the personalized trays sit snugly on your teeth, eliminating irritation and bulk often experienced with traditional braces. The sleek design also makes the aligners easy to wear throughout the day, allowing you to focus on your routine without distractions.
Build Confidence with a Straightened Smile
A great smile is a definite confidence booster, and Invisalign allows you to achieve that without experiencing “metal mouth” like with traditional braces. Whether you're at the office or out with friends, you can give your all knowing your smile is being perfected. Invisalign is an easy, effective way to increase your self-esteem while improving your oral health.
Keep Your Treatment Under the Radar
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them ideal for patients who want a more discreet approach to straightening their teeth. Whether you’re in a professional meeting or a social event, your aligners will go unnoticed, allowing you to flash your natural smile with confidence.
Save Time with Quicker Follow-ups
Invisalign treatment requires fewer office visits compared to traditional braces. Most patients only need to check in with our team every four to six weeks for a quick progress assessment. These brief appointments are convenient and fit easily into a busy schedule, giving you more time for what matters most.
Easy Maintenance for Healthier Teeth
Because Invisalign trays are removable, maintaining excellent oral hygiene is a breeze. Unlike traditional braces that may trap food particles in hard-to-reach places, Invisalign lets you remove the trays to brush and floss. This helps you keep your teeth clean and healthy during treatment and reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Treatment That Conforms to You
Invisalign provides a gentle, non-invasive approach to aligning your teeth. The custom trays apply controlled pressure to gradually shift your pearly whites into place without the need for stressful adjustments or extractions. Their removability means that you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite foods throughout your treatment. Invisalign is a treatment that meets your needs where they are, conforming to your lifestyle and not the other way around.
Understanding the Cost of Invisalign
Invisalign has become the gold standard of clear aligner orthodontics, offering both effectiveness and discretion. However, it's important to understand the costs involved before starting treatment. At Dental Health & Wellness Boston, we want to help our patients achieve the smiles they want at prices they can afford. If you’re interested in what Invisalign can do for your smile, and how we can help you fit your treatment into your budget, continue reading below.
Factors that Affect the Cost of Invisalign
Several factors can influence the cost of Invisalign treatment:
- Complexity of Your Case: The more complex your teeth alignment issues, the longer the treatment and the higher the cost.
- Length of Treatment: Cases requiring more aligners and adjustments will increase overall costs.
- Insurance Coverage: The cost of your Invisalign treatment may be less out-of-pocket if you have a dental insurance policy that includes orthodontics.
- Patient Compliance: Wearing your aligners as directed for the necessary 22 hours is important to keep your treatment time down. Repeatedly missing this goal can necessitate more refinements and extended treatment plans, raising the cost.
Invisalign vs. Mail-In Aligners: Which Costs More?
While Invisalign tends to cost more than mail-in aligners, it offers many significant advantages. For example, Invisalign treatment is closely monitored by our professional team of dental experts throughout the process.
Without this oversight, mail-in aligners can’t ensure that your trays fit properly and that your teeth move in a predictable way. Many times, this leads to ineffective treatment or even hurting your teeth.
So, when comparing costs, consider that Invisalign’s precise, dentist-guided care reduces risks and increases the chances of successful, long-lasting results.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?
Many dental plans will cover Invisalign treatment, but their benefits vary from provider to provider. In some cases, you may see 25 – 50 percent coverage while in others you’ll receive a flat dollar amount depending on your policy. This variance is why it’s important to check your benefits before beginning your treatment. Our team is more than happy to help you look over your policy and guide you through the process to see what you may qualify for.
