Invisalign
in Orlando, FL

The cost of Invisalign varies from patient to patient thanks to the following variables:

• The Number of Arches Involved: You’ll usually receive aligners for both arches, but some cases only involve straightening one arch. Naturally, a single-arch treatment will cost less because you won’t need as many aligners.
• How Severe Your Misalignment Is: Complexity and cost are closely related with Invisalign. Treatments for more advanced cases of misalignment tend to carry a higher price tag.
• How Long the Treatment Takes: The longer your Invisalign treatment lasts, the more aligners you’ll need to pay for.

Maybe you don’t have sufficient coverage for Invisalign, or perhaps you don’t have dental insurance, to begin with. Is there any other way to fit Invisalign into your budget? For many patients, third-party financing is worth considering. This lets you sign up for a payment plan that spreads the cost of your care over time, making it more manageable.

At our practice, you can apply for financing through CareCredit and Proceed Finance. If you would like more details about how financing works, don’t hesitate to call our office.

After you have worn the final set of aligners for the required period of time, you’ll come to our office so that we can confirm that your teeth are where they need to be. Then, to make sure that the results last, we will give you a personalized retainer. The point of a retainer is to prevent your teeth from drifting back to their original positions; if you don’t wear it, then you could end up losing the results that you worked so hard to achieve.

Our team will give you instructions for wearing your retainer. When you first get it, you’ll need to keep it in your mouth most of the time. After a while, you’ll reach the point where it only needs to be worn when you go to bed.

We’ll give you advice for taking care of your aligners, but we also understand that accidents happen sometimes. Contact our team immediately if an aligner is damaged. Sometimes the problem can be solved simply by switching to the next set of aligners up to three days early. In other cases, you might have to wear the previous set again until replacements are available.

It’s possible to keep wearing an aligner with a hairline crack. The most important thing is to avoid further damage. Exercise caution when handling the aligner; when placing it on your teeth, avoid applying too much pressure to any one spot.

Invisalign doesn’t restrict your diet the way braces do, but there is one rule you need to follow: except for water, you should never consume anything without first taking your aligners out. Trying to bite and chew with the aligners will only lead to cracked plastic and unattractive stains. It also puts extra pressure on your teeth, which can contribute to dental issues over the long term.

Carry a case for your Invisalign aligners so that you can store them whenever it’s time to eat. Make sure the case is in a safe place; you don’t want to accidentally throw it away when you’re done with your meal.
