Invisalign® in Western Massachusetts

What Are Invisalign Transparent Braces?

Invisalign clear aligners work like transparent braces, moving your teeth over a period of time. Invisalign uses a series of plastic aligner trays that are custom-made for you. You’ll wear each set of trays about two weeks, with each tray progressively shifting your teeth. If you want to have a straighter smile, contact us for more information about Invisalign in Western Massachusetts.

Is Invisalign Costly?

Affordable Invisalign is often comparable in cost to conventional metal braces. Your total Invisalign cost depends on the complexity of your individual orthodontic needs. Dental insurance may cover part of the treatment. Flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts can also make your Invisalign cost more affordable. In some cases, financing and flexible payment plans may be available.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?

You may have Invisalign insurance coverage through your existing dental insurance orthodontic benefit. Contact us or call your dental insurance provider to learn more about whether your insurance can reduce your Invisalign cost.

What Is Invisalign Treatment Time?

Your unique orthodontic needs determine the duration of your Invisalign treatment. Our experienced Invisalign dentists will develop a customized plan to shift your teeth into place over several months. Most treatments are completed within 10 months to two years, but the average treatment time for adults is about a year.

What Dentists Are Qualified to Provide Invisalign?

General dentists and licensed orthodontics with Invisalign training may provide treatment with the clear aligners. Our Invisalign dentists are experienced with the aligner-tray treatment system and can help you achieve a confident, straighter smile.

What Are the Perks of Invisalign vs Braces?

When weighing the benefits of Invisalign vs braces, you should consider the effectiveness as well as how you’ll look and feel during treatment. For small or moderate orthodontic problems such as slight overcrowding or mildly crooked teeth, Invisalign is often as effective as metal braces. Since Invisalign trays are easily removed, you can also clean your teeth as usual with Invisalign. This helps protect against tooth decay and gum disease during treatment. If you have more extensive orthodontic problems, our trusted dentists may feel that metal braces are more effective for your needs.

Are There Benefits to Invisalign?

Yes, consider these Invisalign perks:

• There are no wires or brackets to scratch, poke or irritate your mouth.
• You eat all of the foods you like.
• You’ll only visit our dental office once every four to six weeks.
• You have a metal-free, confident smile during treatment.
• You can remove trays any time you choose, and they’re easily cleaned.

Is Invisalign Appropriate For Everyone?

No, Invisalign is not ideal for every person. The treatment works well for adults and teens with mild and moderate orthodontic problems, but it’s not usually suitable for children. It’s also not usually recommended for people with extensive or complex orthodontic issues such as severe crowding or bite problems. Call us to book an appointment with one of our experienced Invisalign dentists to learn whether you are a good candidate for Invisalign in Western Massachusetts.

What Is Required After Treatment?

Our dentists may recommend that you use Invisalign retainers to prevent your teeth from shifting out of alignment after the treatment is complete.
