Invisalign® in Woodstock

Invisalign Basics

Invisalign systems use clear plastic trays that fit over your own teeth to provide gentle pressure toward a better alignment. This allows you to enjoy effective repositioning of teeth without the ugly wires and brackets used in traditional braces. As your orthodontic treatment progresses, you will change Invisalign trays about once every two weeks. Each successive tray represents additional pressure to keep your teeth moving in the right direction. When you have completed the entire range of trays, your teeth will be aligned properly and your Invisalign treatment will be complete.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

For most of our patients, Invisalign cost is roughly comparable to that of traditional braces. We know that financial issues may create obstacles for some of our patients. We work hard to keep Invisalign cost down and provide a number of payment options sure to suit your budget. By choosing us to deliver your Invisalign treatment, you can ensure the best possible results for you and the most cost-effective solutions for your financial situation.

How Long Will My Invisalign Treatments Take?

Our Invisalign dentists will let you know the approximate duration of your treatments during one of your first appointments with us. Invisalign trays are usually changed about every two weeks, so the length of your orthodontic plan will depend on how many trays will be required to achieve straighter teeth and a healthier bite.

Invisalign vs. Braces: Differences and Benefits

Your Invisalign procedure will differ considerably from the process used to apply metal braces to patients:

• Invisalign trays are fabricated and shipped to your dental office and can be used immediately. Because these Invisalign appliances are designed to be removed and replaced, no lengthy application process is required.
• The brackets and wires used in traditional braces must be individually applied and tightened manually at each successive visit to the dentist. This can be a lengthy and painful process.
• Braces are immediately obvious to everyone you meet. Invisalign, by contrast, is nearly invisible and can boost your self-confidence during routine social encounters.

When the benefits and drawbacks of Invisalign vs. braces are fully considered, the benefits of Invisalign far outweigh those of traditional metal braces for most patients.

Understanding the Benefits of Invisalign

One of the best features of Invisalign is the ability to remove the trays whenever necessary. This can allow easier chewing for crunchy foods like apples and celery. Additionally, Invisalign makes it simple to clean teeth even after consuming sticky items; simply remove the tray and brush for a sparkling clean smile. The most important benefit for most of our patients is the ability to correct problems with tooth alignment effectively and discreetly.

Is Invisalign for Me?

Most patients with mild to moderate alignment issues can benefit from Invisalign retainers or full-tray systems. Your dentist will assess the condition of your teeth and the overall benefits that you can derive from Invisalign treatments. We will work with you to determine the right course of treatment for you.

What about Invisalign Insurance?

If your dental insurance covers orthodontics, we can work with you to ensure that you pay as little out of your own pocket as possible for your Invisalign treatments. Even for patients with no dental insurance or with little or no coverage for orthodontic procedures, our dental administrators will work to reduce your Invisalign expenses and to provide convenient payment options that suit your budget and your needs perfectly.
