What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning.

Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set in the series. Over time, your teeth shift into their desired positions according to a treatment plan created by your orthodontist using advanced 3D imaging technology.

Invisalign can treat:

Crowded teeth

Gaps between teeth

Overbite

Underbite

Crossbite

Open bite

Invisalign FAQs

Common questions about Invisalign treatment

How much does Invisalign cost?

Invisalign treatment nationally costs between $3,500 and $7,000. The exact cost depends on your case complexity, treatment duration, geographic location, and your chosen provider. Invisalign Lite for minor corrections may cost $3,000-$4,500, while comprehensive treatment for complex cases can reach $7,000+. Most practices offer payment plans starting around $150-$250/month.

Is Invisalign covered by dental insurance?

Yes, many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign the same as traditional braces. Coverage typically ranges from 25-50% of treatment costs, up to a lifetime orthodontic maximum (usually $1,500-$3,000). Some plans have age restrictions. Contact your insurance provider to verify your specific coverage before starting treatment.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Most Invisalign treatments take 12-18 months, though this varies based on your specific case. Minor corrections with Invisalign Lite may be completed in 6-8 months, while complex cases can take 18-24 months. You'll typically change aligners every 1-2 weeks and have check-ups every 6-8 weeks.

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?

You must remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything except water. This actually makes eating more comfortable than traditional braces since there are no dietary restrictions. Just remember to brush before putting aligners back in to prevent staining and cavities.

Is Invisalign as effective as traditional braces?

Invisalign is highly effective for most orthodontic cases, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, traditional braces may be recommended for very complex cases or severe bite issues. Your orthodontist will evaluate your specific needs and recommend the best treatment option.

How many hours a day do I need to wear Invisalign?

For best results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners 20-22 hours per day. This means only removing them for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is crucial for staying on track with your treatment timeline.
