Invisalign® in Yonkers

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are custom-made, flexible plastic trays that conform to your teeth. These clear braces gradually move your teeth into their proper position over time. During treatment, you’ll replace the aligners every two weeks until your teeth are straightened. You’ll also be able to remove the aligners at any time, allowing you to straighten your teeth without disrupting your daily activities. When recommended by a licensed dentist, Invisalign aligners are just as effective as traditional braces.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

Invisalign treatment is completely customized for each patient’s needs. Because of this, the Invisalign cost will vary from person to person. The complexity of your dental issues and the number of required follow-up appointments will determine your total Invisalign cost. While Invisalign can be slightly more costly than traditional braces, many patients find that its benefits make it well worth the investment. Ask your dentist about our flexible payment options, which can help make the cost of treatment affordable.

The average adult Invisalign patient completes his or her treatment in anywhere from ten months to two years. You’ll visit the dentist every four to six weeks to track your progress and make any necessary adjustments. If you’re ready to get started with Invisalign, give our office a call to make an appointment. Our Invisalign dentists are committed to helping patients achieve results in as little time as possible.

Invisalign Dentists

Only dentists who have received the proper licensing and training can practice Invisalign dentistry. These dental professionals are able to correctly fit and examine clear aligner trays using the latest 3-D technology. Our Invisalign dentists have years of experience fitting aligners for adults and teens of all ages.

Invisalign vs. Braces: Which One is Best for You?

Appearance is a top reason why patients choose Invisalign vs. braces. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign offers a comfortable and virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. You’ll also be able to remove your braces at any time, an option that’s simply not available with traditional braces. While Invisalign can effectively treat a host of moderate dental concerns, those with severe dental issues may not be candidates for Invisalign. Your dentist will determine the treatment method that meets your needs.

Invisalign Advantages

In addition to a straight and stunning smile, Invisalign in Yonkers offers a host of advantages, including:

• The ability to keep eating the foods you love
• Being able to remove aligners at any time
• Fewer visits to the dentist
• An attractive, metal-free smile

Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign in Yonkers is an excellent solution for adults and older teens who wish to straighten their smile without uncomfortable metal wires and brackets. If you have mild to moderate orthodontic issues—such as overcrowding, crookedness, or an overbite—you may be a candidate for Invisalign. Children are not ideal candidates for Invisalign due to the complexities of pediatric dentistry. Find out if Invisalign is right for you by booking an appointment with one of our licensed dentists.

Is Invisalign Treatment Covered by Insurance?

Each insurance policy’s benefits vary significantly, so it’s important to check with your provider when considering Invisalign. Many plans offer Invisalign insurance coverage that is comparable to to that of traditional braces. If your insurance plan doesn’t provide enough coverage for your treatment, ask about our convenient payment options. These monthly plans can make the cost of Invisalign affordable.

Caring for Teeth After Invisalign

After treatment, many patients require Invisalign retainers to keep their teeth in their proper position. It’s also important to practice good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and using antiseptic mouthwash. Visiting your dentist for regular exams and cleanings will also keep your straightened smile healthy.
