Invisalign uses a series of custom made Invisible aligners. These Invisible aligners are specially created for you. The Plastic aligners are virtually invisible BPA free plastic. You need to change the Invisible aligners once every two weeks, until your treatment is complete.
Your Dentist will take pictures, x-rays and the necessary impressions of your teeth. We use this to create a digital 3-D image for the Dentist to chalk out a precise treatment plan for you. The plan will map the exact movements of your teeth and can tell you how long the treatment will take.
You may need to visit your Dentist every 6 weeks. Each time of your visit, you will get 3 sets of aligners to change every 2 weeks.
It might take 1 year for adults to complete the treatment. Cost can range between $3800 to $5500, depending on various factors.
There is no much difference in price for Adults and Kids. Adults request Invisible Braces as they feel inconvenient to wear the Traditional Braces.
Traditional Braces have more leverage on your Teeth than the Clear Braces. This really depends on several factors like your Jaw expansion, Teeth position and so on. If the Treatment is complex, then your Dentist would recommend Traditional Braces.
Your General Dentist trained in Orthodontic treatment can assist you in getting the right treatment. All Orthodontists should be able to help you as well.
