Invisalign® in Marietta

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are clear, BPA-free plastic trays that are custom-fitted to your teeth. When you visit your dentist for a consultation, he or she will design your Invisalign aligners based on 3-D images and X-rays of your mouth. Then, you’ll wear Invisalign for 20-22 hours per day, removing the aligners to eat and drink. Invisalign aligner trays are replaced approximately every two weeks until treatment is complete. Over time, the clear aligners will gently guide your teeth into the proper position.

How Much Does Invisalign cost?

Invisalign treatment is completely personalized to meet each patient’s needs. Your specific Invisalign cost typically depends on the length of treatment, the complexity of your orthodontic issues, and your insurance coverage. At your consultation, your dentist will provide you with an estimate of your individual Invisalign cost, as well as information about our convenient monthly payment options.

How Long Does Invisalign Require to Work?

On average, adults complete Invisalign treatment within one year. Teenagers and those with more complex orthodontic issues may require aligners for up to two years. Your dentist will determine the length of treatment at your Invisalign consultation. If misaligned teeth are affecting your self-confidence, why wait?

Invisalign Dentists

Only licensed and trained Invisalign dentists can provide patients with properly fitted clear aligner trays. At our practice, you’ll find Invisalign dentists with years of experience successfully treating patients with clear aligners. Our patients have received effective treatment for overbite, malocclusion, spacing issues, gapped teeth, and more.

Considering Invisalign vs Braces

A breakthrough in modern dentistry, Invisalign in Marietta provides benefits that you simply won’t receive with metal braces. When considering Invisalign vs braces, many patients cite appearance as the main reason they chose clear aligners. The ability to straighten teeth without uncomfortable metal wires or brackets is a key benefit of Invisalign. However, receiving the best treatment is always the top priority. People with very severe dental issues may best benefit from traditional braces. Consult with one of our dentists to learn which treatment method is right for you.

Invisalign Advantages

Discreet and easy to use, Invisalign in Marietta is an effective treatment for many common orthodontic problems. Other advantages of Invisalign include:

• Practicing good oral hygiene is easy with removable aligners
• Eating the foods you love
• The confidence of a clear and metal-free smile
• Visiting the dentist less often – every four to six weeks
• No uncomfortable metal brackets or wires

Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?

In most cases, adults and older teens with moderate orthodontic problems can receive effective treatment with Invisalign. However, most dentists will not recommend Invisalign for young children, who face more complex orthodontic issues due to their growing mouths. If you’re dissatisfied with your smile and want to learn more about Invisalign, call our office to find out if it’s right for you.

Is Invisalign Covered by Insurance?

Due to its effectiveness and popularity among orthodontic patients, many providers have begun to offer Invisalign insurance that is comparable to coverage for metal braces. Your Invisalign coverage may vary, so be sure to consult with your insurance provider to explore your options. Our office also provides flexible payment options, which allow you to make convenient monthly payments towards the total cost. To learn more about our affordable Invisalign payment options, give our office a call.

Teeth Care after Invisalign

After treatment with Invisalign is complete, your dentist may recommend Invisalign retainers, which typically are worn at night. These devices help your teeth adjust to the new position and stay in the proper place. Scheduling regular dental exams and cleanings at our office and practicing excellent oral hygiene at home will also keep your smile healthy.
