Invisalign is a popular teeth straightening treatment that uses clear aligners to gradually move the teeth and bite into the desired position. Invisalign is a great choice for those who have mild to moderate misalignment of teeth and want to improve their smile without having to wear metal braces. Invisalign aligners are popular because they are virtually invisible, and many people find it easier to wear than traditional braces. This material works by applying gentle force to the teeth, while maintaining a snug and comfortable fit.

Treatment Plan: A digital scan of your teeth will be taken with the Itero Scanner to create your custom Invisalign aligners. Once your aligners have been fabricated, and delivered to the office, your treatment can begin. You will be given a series of clear aligners to wear. Each aligner will be worn for about two weeks (or as directed) before moving on to the next set in the series. As you progress through the aligners, your teeth will gradually shift into place. The length of Invisalign treatment depends on your individual case. However, most people can expect to complete treatment within 8-14 months.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign (Orthodontics)? In most cases - yes - your Dental Insurance will cover a portion. With orthodontic coverage, there is a lifetime maximum versus an annual maximum amount. Therefore, you do not have to woryy about Invisalign counting against your yearly dental max. Orthodontics coverage, however, is unique because it has specific provisions pertaining to the patient's age, who on the dental plan is eligible to use them, and how much is offered.
