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 a patient's case. However, the cost is generally more expensive
than traditional braces. To find out more about specific cost information,
call Machias Dental Care at 207 255-8601.
|
 |
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 your Invisalign®-certified
doctor.
