Our office knows that people are curious about Invisalign, the clear alternative to braces. We thought we would share a few of the more common questions and answers about Invisalign, courtesy of the American Association of Orthodontists.
Q: How much does Invisalign cost?
A: As with all types of orthodontic treatment, the cost depends on the complexity of the case. Dr. Souris can discuss the treatment cost for your particular problem at your free consultation!
Q: Does Invisalign really work?
A: In short, yes. In both clinical research and in orthodontic practices all over the country, Invislaign has proven to be effective at straightening teeth.
Q: Does insurance cover Invisalign?
A: Each patient should review their coverage since dental benefits differ significantly from policy to policy. If a patient has orthodontic coverage, however, Invisalign should be covered to the same extent as traditional braces.
Q: What do aligners look like?
A: Aligners are nearly invisible and look very similar to clear tooth-whitening trays but are custom made for a better fit. A new set is placed every 2 weeks and they slowly straighten your teeth. Some orthodontists have referred to them as "contact lenses for the teeth".
Q: What are the aligners made of?
A: Aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn.
Q:How does Invisalign effectively move teeth?
A: Aligners, much like braces and wires, move teeth by proper application of controlled forces on the teeth. Invisalign, however, not only controls the forces but the timing of the force application. The result is an efficient force delivery system.
