Here are the many benefits that Invisalign has over traditional metal braces:

• Fewer Office Visits: While traditional braces will necessitate a check-in every 6 weeks for retightening, Invisalign braces require patients check-in only every 12-20 weeks. 

• Virtual Office Visits: Many of our Invisalign patients will be able to complete office visits fully virtually via the Dental Monitoring system. This app allows our patients to compare their teeth throughout their process so that they can see how their alignment is shaping out!

• Subtle Appearance: As their name would suggest, Invisalign aligners are clear, almost invisible! Most people will be none the wiser that you are even wearing them!

• More Comfortable: Invisalign is made-up of a smooth plastic material that won’t irritate or hurt your gums or cheeks. 

• Easier Brushing and Flossing: As Invisalign trays are removable, flossing and brushing your teeth will be a breeze!

• Enjoy Any Food, Whatsoever! Since Invisalign trays are removable, the patient will never have to worry about adhering to certain dietary restrictions like they would with traditional braces! You’ll be able to gorge on all the candy and chips you’d like!

• Fewer Emergencies: No broken brackets or poking wires! 

The cost of Invisalign treatment depends on a variety of factors, including your insurance and the required length of treatment. We’ll determine this cost during our initial consultation with a patient. We’ll also take numerous x-rays and photos of your teeth, and create a 3D model that we’ll use to predict what your teeth will look like when straightened! We will create an orthodontics plan that is custom to your needs as a patient.

A few options that can help you pay for your Invisalign treatment include:

• Flexible Spending Account: If you have an FSA, you’ll be able to reserve pretax dollars to help cover the cost of an Invisalign treatment.

• Insurance: Many dental insurance plans can help cover the cost of Invisalign as they would for other orthodontic treatments.

• Payment Plans: TLC for Smiles offers flexible monthly payment plans that will help make your treatment as affordable as possible. 

Because of their similar price and long list of advantages over traditional metal braces, Invisalign treatment may just be the perfect option for you to avoid the pain, discomfort, or embarrassment that may come with traditional braces!
