Invisalign clear aligner therapy has revolutionized the way we look at orthodontics for patients of all ages. Offering a subtle solution to crooked teeth, Invisalign is an ideal choice for patients looking to transform their smile without relying on traditional braces. Utilizing a series of clear aligner trays, your teeth can be subtly realigned so you can smile with confidence.
Invisalign is the original clear aligner, and can be used to treat a wide range of misalignment issues. Invisalign aligners are made from a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack, that is durable and nearly invisible when worn. Advancements in Invisalign technology, such as the use of attachments, means that it can be used to treat even the most severe alignment and bite problems, often providing faster results than traditional braces.
Because clear aligners are removable, patients must take special care to frequently clean and periodically replace their aligners. Aligners should be rinsed and lightly brushed every night and replaced with a fresh, new set every 1-2 weeks for best results.
Since clear aligners are custom-made, the cost will vary per patient. Most doctors will work with you to make sure that your treatment is affordable. Payment options typically include flexible, affordable payment plans, or financing through a healthcare lender.Insurance plans also typically cover at least a portion of treatment, but if you're worried about whether you can afford Invisalign treatment, feel free to talk to your doctor and learn more about payment options.
