Possible cons of invisalign are: expensive — before insurance, the national average cost for invisalign is between $2,500 and $8,000. Compliance — invisalign must be worn between 20 and 22 hours daily. Anything else will diminish its effectiveness. Tooth discomfort — while less painful than braces, invisalign aligners can still cause pressure and discomfort. These feelings will pass as your teeth adjust. Attachments — invisalign attachments are tooth-colored dots or knobs made of composite material. They’re meant to increase treatment effectiveness, but they can also make the aligners more visible.
In terms of age range, teenage and adult patients are suitable candidates for invisalign treatment. Whether the decision is made to go ahead with the invisalign treatment will however rest with a number of other factors, including whether the patient presents good general health and good oral health. Issues such as severe crowding or spacing may also require specialist attention before a clear braces solution to bring the teeth into alignment can be used to maximum effectiveness. In some cases, severe gapping of the teeth cannot be helped with a clear braces solution and would typically result in a discussion about the possibility of solving any gapping issues with the introduction of a bridge, a dental implant (permanently embedded false tooth) or a partial denture.
As we’ve already mentioned, invisalign is one of the more expensive options out there, especially when compared to at-home aligner options like smiledirectclub, byte, and alignerco which cost $1,200-$2,300. But there’s a good reason for this. With invisalign, you’re paying for the personalized care and expertise of your dentist or orthodontist throughout your entire treatment, as well as the ability to treat more severe conditions. This consistent in-person care ensures treatment quality, safety, and effectiveness. For some people, the peace of mind that they’re getting facetime with a highly skilled professional every 4-6 weeks is enough to justify the higher prices.
How effective are these aligners?
If you had a choice, would you wear braces on your teeth or clear aligners?
if your answer is clear aligners, you’re not alone. Clear aligners have grown in popularity over the past couple of decades as an option for straightening or realigning your teeth. Perhaps the oldest and best known clear aligner product is invisalign, which was introduced to the market in 1998 by align technology. Since then, more clear aligners from other brands have come into the market, such as spark, clearcorrect, and ulab.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what invisalign can do, how effective it is, and the pros and cons of this product.
This is an outstanding way to straighten teeth without having to wear traditional metal braces. The invisible aligners used are removable, comfortable and highly effective. Clear aligners can be removed when eating and cleaning. One of the main concerns for adults that may put them off seeking orthodontic treatment is the thought of obvious braces having an impact on their work and social life. Invisalign offers a fantastic alternative for straightening teeth that is very discreet; in fact, many patients report that others were not even aware they were wearing clear aligners. The invisalign system involves the creation of a series of thin, custom-made clear aligners that fit over your teeth like an unobtrusive mouth guard, gradually moving them into place.
