Frequently Asked Questions
 |
How much does Invisalign® cost? |
| |
As
with other types of orthodontic treatment, the cost of Invisalign®
is heavily dependent on the complexity of your case. However, an
Invisalign®
consultation is free. We will be able to quote you a
price after Dr. Kim has determined the complexity of your case, and
if Invisalign is right for you.
|
 |
Does insurance cover Invisalign®? |
| |
Because medical benefits differ
significantly from policy to policy, each patient should review
their coverage. However, if a patient has orthodontic coverage,
Invisalign® should be covered to the same extent as conventional
braces.
|
 |
How does Invisalign® effectively move teeth? |
| |
Like brackets and archwires,
Invisalign® Aligners move teeth through the appropriate placement of
controlled force on the teeth. The principal difference is that
Invisalign® not only controls 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 with Dr.
Kim. |
