What Are Invisalign® Clear Aligners & How Do They Work?
Invisalign® is an orthodontic system that uses a series of clear teeth aligners to gradually straighten teeth. The discreet, invisible aligners are custom-made to fit comfortably over teeth and should be worn throughout the day and night. For your convenience, the clear aligners are also removable for more enjoyable mealtimes and effective brushing and flossing.
Using digital imaging technology, Dr. Kanellis will scan your mouth in order to make multiple sets of clear braces that are designed to be swapped out every two weeks. Each pair is customized in sequence to move your teeth toward a more correct and aligned position as your treatment progresses.
You'll return to our office periodically throughout your treatment, so that our Silver Plus Invisalign® Provider can track your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you get the results you desire.
If you suffer from the following orthodontic conditions, you could be a great candidate for Invisalign®:
- Crooked Teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Gaps Between Teeth
- Open Bites
- Crowded Teeth
- Misshapen Teeth
- ...and more!
Your Consultation With Our Invisalign® Dentist
During your consultation, our Invisalign® dentist, Dr. Kanellis, will carefully examine your teeth and jaw using digital X-rays and advanced imaging technologies to determine a precise diagnosis. If you decide Invisalign is right for you, he will take comfortable digital impressions of your teeth and use those impressions to develop your treatment plan.
During the orthodontic consultation phase, Dr. Kanellis will use the high-tech iTero® Intraoral Scanner to digitally scan your teeth into 3D models. This means we'll never need to take traditional impressions using sticky, putty-like materials that many patients find uncomfortable. Instead, we'll build a customized treatment plan for you based on our ultra-effective, non-invasive digital technology!
Most patients with mild-to-moderate misalignments are excellent candidates for Invisalign®. However, if Dr. Kanellis discovers a more severe orthodontic concern, he may recommend traditional orthodontics to straighten your teeth instead.
How Much Does Invisalign® Cost?
Your total out-of-pocket Invisalign® cost will likely vary depending on the following criteria:
- The specific terms of your dental insurance coverage
- The length of your Invisalign treatment
- If preliminary procedures or treatments must be completed prior to you beginning Invisalign®
At Kanellis Family Dentistry, we never want your total Invisalign cost to be prohibitive. To make it easier to cover the cost of your clear aligner treatment, we file out-of-network claims with any dental insurance carriers, and if you're uninsured, we even offer an in-house dental discount program designed to help you save on all services.
We also accept no-interest and low-interest monthly payment plans through CareCredit® that can be used alone or in conjunction with your insurance.
