Invisalign Treatment – Frisco, TX

Faster Results

You will achieve a new and improved smile in less time than it takes with traditional metal braces. Because of the SmartTrack material and technology used to create your clear aligners, you can expect more precise and predictable movements, allowing you to enjoy a smoother, more comfortable treatment as well as faster results.

Improved Flexibility

If you’re worried you’ll have to give up your favorite foods because of your orthodontic treatment, guess again. Invisalign does not hinder your day-to-day life at all. In fact, you will be instructed to remove your aligners while eating, drinking, and cleaning them. Not only will this simple step give you greater flexibility, but you’ll be able to freely enjoy the foods you love without worrying about spending precious time picking remnants out from between your brackets and wires. Instead, you can simply clean your teeth like normal once you are finished eating.

Easy to Maintain

Regular braces will often require you to buy special brushes and cleaning products to ensure your teeth and appliances remain in good shape throughout treatment. However, with Invisalign, you can rest easy knowing that your financial investment is going to pay for your aligners, not how you plan to maintain them. While you can purchase the Invisalign Cleaning Crystals, you can also opt to use a soft-bristled toothbrush, clear soap, and lukewarm water to keep your aligners clean and free of dried saliva and bacteria. All you need to remember to do is rinse them each time you take them out and put them back in, and you’ll need to clean them every day.

Clear Orthodontic Solution

With Invisalign, you don’t have to worry about donning bulky metal brackets and wires. Instead, you can look forward to a clearer, more subtle method of orthodontic treatment. One of the great benefits of Invisalign in Frisco is that your aligners are made of clear plastic, which allows for a more discreet way to straighten your smile. Virtually transparent and invisible to others, you won’t need to worry about anyone else noticing your braces. This can be a welcomed realization for anyone who is self-conscious about the idea of orthodontics.

Less Irritation

Nothing hurts more than soft oral tissues that are irritated by bulky brackets and wires. When wearing traditional braces, these appliances can rub against your gums, lips, cheeks, and tongue, causing oral sores to form. As a result, you’ll need to buy dental wax to place over the metal until your soft tissues toughen up. Fortunately, with Invisalign, the aligners are smooth and fit snugly against your teeth, allowing for a more comfortable treatment and little-to-no irritation.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Invisalign

During your consultation, Dr. Buchwald will take detailed X-rays of your teeth, conduct an oral exam, and determine the complexity of your case. From there, he can decide how many trays are needed, if additional orthodontic accessories need to be added to your treatment plan (like rubber bands), and if we need to straighten one or both arches of your teeth. Of course, once your clear aligners arrive and life with Invisalign officially begins, another factor will come into play: how well you follow the guidelines. For example, if you consistently don’t wear your aligners for 20+ hours a day, you might fall off-track with your original treatment plan, which will require us to make a new one.

Invisalign vs. Smile Direct Club™: Which Costs More?

When you compare Invisalign to mail-order aligner companies, the latter is almost always cheaper. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s better. In fact, many patients have found the opposite to be true since they experienced worsened misalignment and even fallen-out teeth, leading them to file a lawsuit. Even professional organizations, like the American Dental Association, have voiced their distaste for these orthodontic alternatives since they skip crucial steps of the treatment process, including a thorough exam. In short, even though Invisalign requires a higher investment, it’s worth it.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?

If your provider deems orthodontic treatment “medically necessary,” then there is a good chance that the answer is yes!
