Invisalign
If you want straight teeth, but dread the thought of wearing metal braces, then Invisalign may be right for you. With Invisalign, Dr. Simmons can correct overcrowding, wide spaces, and bite problems. Visit us for a consultation to learn if Invisalign is right for you.
Why should I straighten my teeth?
Aside from obvious cosmetic benefits, straight teeth have many oral health benefits that result in an all around higher quality of life. Crooked teeth provide more spaces for food to get trapped and bacteria to breed. Crooked teeth are also harder to brush and floss, increasing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, orthodontics such as Invisalign correct bite problems that can cause teeth grinding, headaches, facial pain, and other nagging symptoms.
What are the benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces?
Benefits of Invisalign include:
- Clear. The acrylic aligners form to the contours of your teeth, making them barely noticeable.
- Removable. With Invisalign, you have the freedom to remove the aligners to brush, floss, and for special events.
- Comfortable. Invisalign aligners don’t cause the mouth abrasions typically associated with metal braces.
- Fast. On average, patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months.
Will my insurance cover Invisalign?
Every insurance policy is different, so you should check the terms of coverage on your personal plan. In general, if you have orthodontic coverage, Invisalign should be covered to the same extent as metal braces. Dr. Simmons offers several payment options and will work with you to make treatment affordable.
