Compare Invisalign® to Metal Braces

Crooked teeth can be difficult to clean, affect bite functionality, and contribute to gum disease and tooth decay. You may be also less confident in your appearance and afraid to smile in social situations. Your options for straightening teeth to correct these issues, however, often come down to clear orthodontic aligners or traditional metal braces. Compared to metal braces, Invisalign® is:

• Removable
• Smooth, to avoid irritating the inside of your mouth
• Convenient – avoid multiple dental office visits to adjust wires
• Easy to clean and keep free of debris

Unlike braces, Invisialign® offers patients the option to improve their smiles with ease. Invisalign® uses a series of smooth, plastic trays that can be taken out during meals and are nearly invisible. For professional adults and teenage patients, the ability to inconspicuously straighten teeth is a welcome solution. The treatment is convenient and adapts to your lifestyle.

Clear Braces: Cost and Treatment

Invisalign® can treat many complicated orthodontic issues that braces are often recommended to correct, such as crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, malocclusion overbite, underbite, open bite, and crossbite – all with greater convenience and comfort for the wearer.

Many patients are surprised to learn that Invisalign® costs are, on average, the same as traditional braces. The national average cost for Invisalign® is $5,000. Dr. Okotomoto’s office is within that range for services, depending on course of treatment. Because dental coverage varies from policy to policy, you should speak with your insurance provider for more information. In general, if a patient has orthodontic benefits, Invisalign® should be covered to the same extent as conventional braces.
