Invisalign® in Belchertown, MA

What Are Invisalign Braces?

Invisalign aligner trays are custom-made for you so they fit snugly over your teeth. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks then progress to the next set of trays. Best of all, the trays are practically invisible when you wear them, so only you and our dentists know you’ve chosen Invisalign in Belchertown.

What Is the Invisalign Cost Compared to Braces?

The cost of metal braces is very similar to the total Invisalign cost. Your individual orthodontic needs ultimately determine your overall Invisalign cost, and our trusted dentists can determine your costs after a consultation. Dental insurance, low-interest financing plans and flexible payment programs can help reduce your treatment expense.

How Long Will Invisalign Treatment Take?

The average adult treatment time is usually about a year, but Invisalign treatment can take anywhere from 10 months to two years. Some complex problems may require longer treatment periods.

Who Can Practice Invisalign Dentistry?

A licensed orthodontist or a general dentist with Invisalign training can provide this treatment. Our Invisalign dentists are experienced in providing the treatment, helping you enjoy a straighter, more confident smile.

How Can I Compare Invisalign vs Braces?

Some people choose Invisalign because the clear aligner trays are less noticeable than unsightly metal braces. A more important consideration, though, is determining which orthodontic treatment is most effective for your particular problem. For common issues such as moderately crooked teeth or a slight underbite, Invisalign is often a good choice. For more complicated problems, braces may be more effective. Our knowledgeable Invisalign dentists can help you weigh the benefits of Invisalign vs braces, guiding you to the best treatment for you.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

• Consider these advantages to choosing Invisalign in Belchertown:
• Aligner trays are removable for eating, drinking and cleaning.
• You can eat all of your favorite foods.
• You can easily brush and floss your teeth.

Who Can Get Invisalign?

The ideal candidate for Invisalign in Belchertown is an adult or teen with simple to moderate orthodontic issues. The treatment is not usually recommended for kids since their mouths and teeth are still growing and changing. Adults and teens with complex or extensive orthodontic problems aren’t necessarily good candidates for aligner-tray treatment. You can learn more about treatment options for your specific needs by scheduling a consultation with one of our experienced Invisalign dentists.

Will Insurance Cover Invisalign?

Yes, in many cases, you’ll enjoy Invisalign insurance coverage as part of your regular dental insurance. You can find out how to use your insurance orthodontic benefits for Invisalign by contacting our office or calling your dental insurance provider.

What Type of Post-Treatment Care Is Needed?

After your teeth have been corrected with aligner trays, you can generally go about your daily life as usual. You may need to wear Invisalign retainers to prevent your teeth from moving after treatment, and you should maintain good oral hygiene daily. Regular check-ups with our dentist ensure your teeth stay healthy and straight.
