Invisalign Braces and Orthodontic Insurance: Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Invisalign Braces cost?

As with other types of orthodontic treatment, the cost of Invisalign Braces is heavily dependent on the complexity of a patient's case. However, the cost is generally more expensive than traditional braces. Which is why it is important to have good orthodontic insurance.

Are Invisalign Braces covered by orthodontic insurance?

Because medical benefits differ significantly from policy to policy, each patient should review their orthodontic insurance coverage. However, if a patient has orthodontic insurance, Invisalign Braces should be covered to the same extent as conventional braces.

How do Invisalign Braces effectively move teeth?

Like brackets and archwires, Invisaline braces or aligners move teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force on the teeth. The principal difference is that Invisalign braces not only control forces, but also controls the timing of the force application. At each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, and these movements are determined by the orthodontic treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system.

Will TMJ affect Invisalign treatment?

TMJ refers to the temporomandibular, or jaw, joint. Individuals can have a number of problems with the jaw joint, some of which can be aggravated by appliances and treatments like Invisalign. To find out if your TMJ problem will adversely impact dental treatment, consult your Invisiline certified doctor. Be sure to ask your doctor about which orthodontic insurance plan is best for you.
