Here are a few frequently asked questions about Invisalign aligners, answered in a way that puts your mind at ease and gives you the information you need!
What are Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners are clear, custom-made trays designed to shift your teeth into proper alignment gradually. They are a wonderful alternative to more traditional metal braces and orthodontia, and are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for both adults and teenagers who want a discreet orthodontic solution.
How long does the Invisalign treatment take to complete?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies greatly depending on certain factors, such as the complexity of your orthodontic case. On average, most of our patients complete their treatment in 12 to 18 months. Dr. Bindu Kolli carefully evaluates your teeth and discusses the expected timeline during your consultation.
Are Invisalign aligners covered by dental insurance?
Many dental insurance plans offer Invisalign dental coverage, just like they do for traditional braces. It is a good idea to check with your insurance provider to understand your benefits. Our team at Southfork Dental can also assist in determining your coverage.
How much do Invisalign aligners cost?
The average cost of Invisalign aligners typically ranges between $3,000 and $7,000. The actual cost depends on the specific needs of your case, such as the severity of the misalignment and the length of treatment. The good news is that flexible payment plans and financing options are available to make the process easier on your budget.
What are the benefits of Invisalign aligners over braces?
There are many advantages to choosing Invisalign aligner treatment! They are nearly invisible, making them more aesthetically pleasing than braces. Additionally, they are removable by you, allowing you to eat, brush, and even floss with ease, without any restrictions. Invisalign aligners are also made of smooth plastic, so there are no sharp edges, meaning they are more comfortable to wear.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
Keeping your aligners clean is actually really simple! Rinse them off with lukewarm water when removing them, and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush to remove debris. Avoid washing them with hot water, as this could warp the plastic. Do not forget to brush and floss your teeth regularly as well, since good oral hygiene is essential during treatment.
