Your Montague Invisalign® Provider
When it comes to Invisalign orthodontic treatment, the cost is often a concern. Our Montague dentists break down the financial factors you should think about when deciding on this post.
What is Invisalign?
The Invisalign system consists of a series of clear aligners that you would typically change every 2 weeks. Each set of removable, custom-made clear aligners should gradually adjust your teeth.
You can remove your clear aligners to eat, drink, and brush your teeth, which is an advantage of Invisalign. Clear aligners can help with a wide range of orthodontic issues, including misalignment, bite problems, and crowding. This treatment option is also popular among adults and teenagers because of its unobtrusive appearance and adaptability to their lifestyles.
Who is an ideal candidate for clear aligners?
Many more adults have sought orthodontic treatment in recent years to achieve straighter teeth and a healthier smile. One reason for the rise could be the appearance and effectiveness of clear aligners.
When it comes to who is a good candidate for clear aligners, almost any adult who has a problem with their teeth alignment should talk to their dentist about it. The dentist can then examine you to see if clear aligners can help you with your problem.
A few specific problems clear aligners can help include overbite, crossbite, open bite, spaces and gaps between the teeth and crowding.
Factors Affecting Invisalign Costs
Here are the financial factors that contribute to the total amount you might pay for Invisalign:
- Your oral health needs and how much work needs to be completed
- Any coverage your insurance plan can provide
- Your location and average prices for this type of orthodontic treatment in your city
- The dentist’s time for his or her work
The average cost of Invisalign treatment is comparable to that of braces. The only way to know how much your customized treatment plan will cost is to speak with your dentist about your specific case.
Your specific jaw shape and misalignment issues will help dictate your treatment plan, how many aligners you'll need, the length of the process, and thus the cost of your treatment, in addition to your oral health and the extent of the work required.
Paying for Invisalign
If cost is a major factor for you, you should talk to your dentist about different payment options. You'll have an estimate of the total cost after your initial consultation, and you'll be able to decide whether you want to proceed.
Most dental insurance plans cover Invisalign, just like regular braces, but check with your insurance company first to see how much coverage you'll get.
If you're considering using an orthodontic option like Invisalign to treat your dental health issues, financial considerations will almost certainly play a role in your decision. Fortunately, Invisalign may be a good option for you, depending on your oral health needs.
