Get Straighter Teeth with Invisalign

Being a family dental practice for over 85 years, we fully understand the importance of a healthy mouth, teeth, and gums. We continuously educate our patients on how to care for their teeth, and how to prevent future issues. Our patients often feel that as great as it is to have a healthy smile, it sometimes isn’t enough, they want a perfect smile with beautiful straight teeth in order to feel confident and proud of their smile.

As a multi-specialty dental practice, we not only prevent and treat our patients through traditional dental services, but we are also a Preferred Partner with Invisalign, and Dr. Greg G. Campi is an Orthodontist specializing in traditional orthodontic and Invisalign services.

Invisalign often comes with many questions. A lot of patients often think it’s too expensive, or they may not qualify, before even learning about it. We’re here today to answer your questions and hopefully encourage you or someone you know to take the leap and schedule a free Invisalign initial consultation.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment in the form of transparent, plastic, dental braces used to adjust and straighten teeth. Invisalign uses clear aligners that are made through a combination of 3-D computer imaging technology along with a certified dentist’s expertise. You typically wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final desired position to resolve whatever issue it was that initially called for Invisalign treatment.

How Long Does Invisalign Take to Work?

The Invisalign treatment plan is different for everyone but usually takes between 9-15 months to complete. This average is also based on the patient sticking to the recommended guidelines of wearing the aligners at least 20-22 hours every single day, throughout the entirety of treatment.

Any deviation from this can add time to the process. Depending on the severity of your prior dental needs, it may take longer to complete. During this time, you’ll see your dentist every 6 weeks to monitor progress and to ensure you’re on track for a perfect smile. Skipping appointments or not changing aligners when you’re scheduled to can undo progress.

Invisalign vs Traditional Braces

When comparing traditional braces and Invisalign, it’s really a tight race. Adults and teens who tend to be self-conscious might find the discrete look of Invisalign incredibly appealing, and its removability is also a big draw.

However, it’s important to remember that the success of Invisalign depends almost entirely on the patient. If you don’t wear them as directed, they just won’t work. Whereas metal braces don’t give you the option of taking them on and off, which may allow for a more efficient result.

The two main benefits of Invisalign are that the aligners are almost completely invisible and that they are removable. They also tend to be more comfortable than traditional metal braces, since the aligners are made of a smooth plastic that won’t irritate the gums or cheeks the way some brackets and wires might.

In conclusion, Invisalign is a highly efficient method for moving and correcting teeth.

Who is a candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign consultations are available at no cost for any patient that is looking to straighten their teeth and improve their smile.

• and open bites

Invisalign is well known and highly recommended to treat all of these dental issues and more.

How much does Invisalign Cost?

Invisalign costs vary for every patient depending on their necessary treatment plan. Complete costs range from $3,000-$6,000. Campi Dental offers an option to pay for Invisalign in monthly installments rather than paying the entire cost upfront.

Does Insurance Cover Invisalign?

Some insurance companies cover a portion of the Invisalign treatment, but every company and every case is different. Some cases have been known to have anywhere from $0 – $3,000 covered, with many cases having $1,000 – $1,500 covered. The best thing to do if you’re seriously considering Invisalign is to come in for a free consultation, learn about the product, and what a treatment plan would look like for you. We can also work with you and your insurance company to see what your cost would be.

Frequently Asked Questions about Invisalign

Is Invisalign Painful?

Anytime teeth need to be shifted or moved, there’s a possibility for discomfort. Most patients experience discomfort during the first few days of wearing the Invisalign aligners. When asked to describe the pain, patients have reported that the sensations are more relatable to pressure or tenderness rather than pain. Because Invisalign works with a series of different aligner trays, anytime you begin a new aligner, the discomfort may be present for the first 24-72 hours.
