Spanish Your smile is priceless, but straightening your smile may not be. Patients like you, dealing with crooked teeth and misalignments, may want or need orthodontic treatment. However, most patients prefer clear aligners like Invisalign over traditional metal braces! These smooth plastic trays are not only much more comfortable, but they’re also a quicker alternative to metal brackets and wires. But how do they compare in price? Can dental insurance cover Invisalign like it typically covers metal braces? All of your questions and more can be answered by Dr. Fine and his team in Wayne, NJ!
Understanding Invisalign
Invisalign is a brand name for a clear aligner system that moves your teeth into their proper position.
This clear plastic tray fits over your teeth like a glove fits a hand. Dr. Fine’s job is to design and watch over this treatment, switching out trays to slowly move your teeth into place.
Invisalign offers a variety of benefits over traditional orthodontics, including:
Comfortable fit- Discreet appearance
- Convenient removability
- Faster results
When you come in for a free consultation at Fine Dental Care, Dr. Fine will take impressions of your smile. Then, he’ll design a treatment plan and send it to a lab, where technicians will craft a series of trays that slowly shift your teeth. Rather than needing to tighten a wire, clear aligners move your teeth in small increments as you switch to new trays.
Typically, you’ll get a new tray every few weeks until your smile is perfectly aligned. But to complete the process, you must wear them for around 22 to 23 hours a day. While you remove your aligners to eat and brush your teeth, we recommend keeping them in for as long as possible. The more you take advantage of your Invisalign treatment, the faster it is!
At Fine Dental Care, about 90% of our patients can straighten their smile with clear aligners in less than a year.
Can Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign
So, Invisalign is more comfortable, faster, and more convenient than traditional orthodontic treatment. But how does it compare in price?
Typically, Invisalign and metal braces are similar in price. However, both depend primarily on the complexity of your case and the time required to treat your smile. For significant gaps and misalignments, treatment may be more expensive.
Fortunately, dental insurance can cover Invisalign in many cases!
Insurance companies mostly cover what they deem “necessary treatments.” In dental care, this refers to restorative treatments like dental crowns, root canals, and, usually, orthodontics! Because misalignments have a major effect on your bite and your overall oral health, most insurance companies view Invisalign as necessary.
Of course, your specific coverage depends on your provider. While many companies do cover clear aligners, they may only cover a portion of the treatment.
