Invisalign costs range from $1,800 to $9,500, depending on the complexity of the problem. The average cost for a teenager is $3,000. A typical adult would spend $5,700 for a full treatment. These averages compare to $3,000 to $7,000 for traditional wire-and-bracket braces. So, your Invisalign cost may or may not equal what you would pay for traditional braces, depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. If you have insurance, ask your benefits manager or insurance provider what your benefits are for orthodontic treatments. When evaluating different providers, ask what coverage they accept.
Many orthodontists will advise that Invisalign treatment can take between 6 12 months or more, depending on your case. There's no one-size-fits-all for determining how long your treatment will last. That's because every patient will have their own individual tooth alignment issues. As a rule of thumb, adults tend to wear aligners for longer than teenagers. That's because teenager's teeth are easier to move and more responsive to treatment. On the other hand, adults tend to have more complex cases and less responsive jaws and teeth. That means treatment can take a little longer. The BEST option is to leave it to the pros. Let Melton Orthodontist deal with all that for you. Give us a call and we can walk you through it..
No, Invisalign isn't painful, but it can leave a person's teeth feeling sore.
Think of it just like traditional orthodontic treatment. When you first get braces, your teeth may feel uncomfortable given the pressure being exerted. The same discomfort occurs when the braces are tightened.
While the aligner trays used in Invisalign are not like brackets and wires for braces, they will cause some discomfort simply given the nature of orthodontic care and carefully applied tension on the teeth.
