Choosing to get Invisalign through your dentist is recommended over using at-home kits because it's safer and more effective. Dentists have the expertise and knowledge to help you choose the best solution for your teeth and provide close monitoring throughout treatment to ensure your goals are met in a timely manner with minimal risk.
The length of time it takes for Invisalign treatment can vary depending on the complexity of your case, but most cases take between 6 and 18 months. Every 4-6 weeks, you'll get a new set of aligners that you need to wear all the time for the best results.
Invisalign is generally not painful to wear, but you may experience some discomfort or tenderness during the first few days as your teeth adjust to the aligners. If you have pain or discomfort that lasts more than a few days, contact your dentist for assistance.
Insurance coverage for Invisalign can vary depending on your provider and policy. It's best to check with your insurance company before starting treatment to see what's covered under your policy.
The cost of Invisalign treatment can vary, depending on the complexity of your case and how long your treatment plan is. It's generally similar to the cost of traditional braces, but it can be slightly more expensive depending on things like the number of aligners you need and how long your treatment takes. Your dentist may offer payment plans or discounts to make it more affordable.
