Clear Aligners Before and After
Invisalign is an amazing product. It has been around for more than 20 years and continues to get better. Even after the millions (and I mean many millions) they spend on refining their product, I still believe Metal or Clear braces are the way to go. That’s why I still recommend braces over clear aligners for the more difficult cases.
Now, I don’t want to let you think that you can’t get a great result with clear aligners; it’s just that they are not for everyone. We have treated hundreds of cases with Invisalign clear aligners, and patients love the results. They love their before-and-after pictures and love showing off their brand-new straight smile.
Invisalign Attachments
You may have heard about Invisalign attachments. If you had Invisalign 10 years ago, those attachments were basically as big as braces. Times have definitely changed, as they are so small now that they are barely noticeable.
Invisalign attachments help your teeth latch onto the trays better. Most teeth that need a larger movement have attachments placed on them. It’s sometimes difficult to know exactly where Invisalign will add them, but basically, if you notice your tooth is pretty shifted, you can all but guarantee there will be an attachment placed on that tooth. Yet have no fear, as it’s only temporary and will come off as soon as you are done treatment.
How Much Do Clear Aligners Cost?
Invisalign is always more expensive than clear or metal braces. The price range is pretty large because it really depends on the length of treatment, any appliances needed, and insurance. A rough estimate could be anywhere from $3500 to $6500, but it could be even less or even more. I know that’s a huge price range, but it’s so hard to give an exact number.
Honestly, the easiest way to know is to come in for free consultation. Yes, that’s F R E E. That way, you can know exactly what you are getting into. You’ll be able to understand the price, the monthly payments (yes, we do no-interest payment plans), and whether your insurance covers clear aligners.
Conclusion
The exact pricing of clear aligners is hard to nail down because it varies depending on treatment time, insurance, and any other appliances needed. Not everyone is a great candidate for clear aligners, but if you are, it’s an absolutely great product. It’s been around for over 20 years, and it’s only getting better.
