Frequently Asked Questions about Invisalign

Q:  Who's eligible for Invisalign?
A:  Invisalign is appropriate for patients with erupted second or 12-year molars, which includes most teens.  Ask Dr. Majznerski or your general dentist to see if your treatment can begin now, or if you might need to wait a little longer.

Q:  Does Invisalign really work?
A:  Yes.  In orthodontic practices worldwide, Invisalign has been effective at straightening teeth for teens and adults.  Nine out of ten surveyed patients have expressed high satisfaction with their Invisalign experience.

Q:  How does Invisalign work?
A:  3-D computer imaging technology maps the complete treatment from start to finish.  From this plan, a series of custom-made aligners unique to your treatment is produced.  You wear each aligner for about two weeks.  During this time, the aligners gradually move your teeth.  With each new aligner your teeth continue to straighten until they achieve the desired final position.

Q:  How much does Invisalign cost?
A:  Only your doctor can determine the cost for your specific treatment.  It depends on the kind of treatment you need, how long it takes, and even where you live.  Invisalign treatment is often similar to the cost of traditional braces.  In addition, your orthodontic insurance often covers Invisalign to the same extent as conventional braces.  Many Invisalign providers also offer affordable monthly payment plans.
