Getting braces as an adult can be a bit awkward. You want a straight, beautiful smile, but you don’t want to show up to the next office meeting, appearing like you stepped out of junior high yearbook with a mouth full of metal. Thankfully, today, there’s a better option. Invisalign clear teeth aligners can give the same stunning results, without the metal mouth. Dr. Elena Black of Appalachian Orthodontics of Lynchburg shares everything you need to know to make the best decision for your smile.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a series of clear, plastic aligners that can be worn over your teeth. Each set of clear aligners is worn for about two weeks until it’s replaced with a new set that’s closer to the smile you want. After just two to three months of using the aligners, many people will start to see a difference in their teeth. The course of treatment will vary from person to person, but the average treatment lasts 12 months. They’re custom-made for your mouth and can be removed during eating, brushing, and flossing. Invisalign can generally treat non-straight teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, etc. Head over to Invisalign.com and take the smile assessment to see if Invisalign is right for your mouth.
What Is The Cost?
Payment plans are available, but the cost is similar to metal braces. It will vary from person to person, depending on the length of treatment and insurance coverage. Most insurance plans cover a significant portion of the cost for clear aligners, but a few will only cover traditional braces. Talk to us to discuss payment options.
