- Invisalign Braces - Straighten Your Teeth Your Smile And You
- By:Thom Richards
Over a half million dental patients have had crooked teeth treated with Invisalign or “clear” braces. A system that has aligned their teeth the way they should be, and given them a "beautiful smile" to boot. And, the best part is: Invisalign braces are literally invisible.
One of the "turnoffs" of traditional metal braces is the "metal mouth look". Whether you are an adult or a teenager, you want to look your best, and the metal mouth look is not very appealing. Not to damper your spirits but, if your teeth are terribly crooked metal braces may be the only treatment option available.
Using computer-technology, an Invisalign qualified orthodontist can lay out the complete treatment plan. A custom series of clear (invisible) aligners, made according to the initial position of your teeth, all the way to the desired position of your teeth.
Each individual custom aligner is worn for approximately two weeks until the desired result is reached. The basic cost of clear braces is around $4000.00.
Depending upon many factors this can spiral upwards even to $9000.00. However, with the clear brace system you can reduce the length and discomfort of wearing the traditional metal braces by eighteen months, or so. Sound good?
If you have a dental insurance plan or a discount dental plan, you may be able to get assistance with the cost. Just be aware that a dental insurance plan may cover metal braces, but not the Invisalign system.
The good news is: through a discount dental plan, you can receive discounts up to sixty percent on dental procedures through a participating dentist and/or orthodontist in your hometown.
An all important feature of Invisalign braces is that you can take out the aligners while you eat, brush your teeth or if it is a bad day for braces!
