Dr. Bob Bryan and the professional team at Dr. Bob Bryan Orthodontics have developed a list of thoughtful questions to help their patients living near Hamburg, PA decide if orthodontic treatment with Invisalign is appropriate for them.
Am I responsible?
To be treated effectively with Invisalign, you need to accept the responsibility of caring for the trays. Not only do the clear aligner trays need to be kept clean, but you need to keep track of them while they are not being worn. Because the clear aligners are removable and clear, they can easily be misplaced or accidentally thrown out. It is important to remember also to put them back in your mouth after eating or brushing. A new set of tray aligners is exchanged for the old set at (approximately) two-week intervals as part of the course of treatment.
How much work do I need done?
Typically, the clear aligners are recommended by orthodontists to patients who do not need extensive or complex orthodontic treatment. Dr. Bob Bryan prescribes the clear aligners for fixing such conditions as over- or under-bites, overcrowding, gap teeth, or general spacing issues. Raising and lowering teeth or large tooth spacings are typically more effectively treated with traditional braces.
Will Invisalign fit into my lifestyle?
The clear aligners are virtually invisible to the casual observer, so patients can continue to smile big while being treated with Invisalign. Unlike traditional braces, you can continue to eat the foods you love without worry because the clear trays are removable. In fact, the clear aligners must be removed for eating, brushing, flossing, and cleaning of the trays.
What will Invisalign cost in time and money?
The course of treatment with Invisalign is often shorter than treatment with traditional braces, lasting approximately a year and a half, depending on the patient. Treatment appointments for clear aligners may be more frequent with Dr. Bob Bryan, but regular check ups are much shorter. Traditional braces typically cost between $1,200 and $3,000 in Hamburg, PA. while treatment with Invisalign typically costs approximately $3,000 to $5,000. Dr. Bob Bryan Orthodontics can help their patients manage costs by offering payment plans.
