Invisalign® vs. Braces

With advanced orthodontic methods and computer technology, Invisalign® can now help to improve smiles without the dreaded “metal mouth.” This state-of-the-art technique offers a number of benefits, including:

  • Clear, discreet teeth aligners
  • Removable for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing
  • More comfortable than traditional braces
  • Improvement in the appearance of spacing, crowding, and general misalignment
  • Improvement of common bite issues
  • Less office visits needed for adjustments or problems
  • When compared to braces, the treatment often takes less time to attain optimal results

What Does the Invisalign® Procedure Involve?

Instead of using metal brackets and wires, Invisalign® works by utilizing a series of clear, removable aligners to move your teeth into the ideal position. You will be given a series of customized trays designed to progressively straighten your teeth over several months. Each set of aligners is worn two weeks, and then replaced with the next in the series. They can be removed for certain activities; however, it’s best to wear them as much as possible throughout the day.

Since the aligners are clear, they are virtually undetectable when worn. Also, since the aligners are removable, better oral hygiene can be achieved by brushing and flossing when compared with the hygiene problems that often arise from treatment with metal braces.

How Much Does Invisalign® Cost?

The cost of Invisalign® varies from one individual to another based on the specifics of their personalized treatment plan. On average, the total price of Invisalign® treatment typically falls in the $3,500 to $8,000 range. The final cost will depend on a number of factors, including the type and severity of your orthodontic concerns, the number of aligners that will be necessary for the best results, the projected length of time the treatment will take, and other components.

Once your customized treatment plan is developed during the initial consultation, a member of our friendly dental team will calculate all expenses associated with your Invisalign® procedure and provide you with a total cost estimate. Many insurance plans that offer coverage for orthodontic treatment include Invisalign® as a covered option. We can help you navigate your insurance benefits to determine whether your policy includes at least partial coverage for this procedure. We will also be happy to talk with you about the comprehensive range of payment methods we accept here at True Dentistry. If you are considering financing your Invisalign® treatment, our practice works with two of the most reputable dental financing agencies in the nation. Lending Club and CareCredit® offer an array of low- and no-interest plans for eligible applicants who would like to pay for their procedure on a convenient monthly basis.

What Are Some Good Alternatives to Invisalign®?

True Dentistry offers a variety of advanced alternatives to Invisalign® for patients who may not be candidates for this treatment, and for those who would simply like to explore other options. Clear braces and traditional metal braces are two procedures that can be very effective for a range of mild to severe orthodontic concerns. In some cases, porcelain veneers may be all that is necessary to successfully address signs of misalignment such as gaps and spaces between the teeth. Porcelain veneers are custom-designed cosmetic dental restorations that hide the appearance of aesthetic imperfections with results that can beautifully renew your smile.

If you are interested in alternatives to Invisalign®, our dentist can recommend the best option for your needs during the initial consultation.
