Will Insurance Cover Any Costs?

Many dental insurance providers will cover at least a portion of the cost of orthodontic care, including Invisalign clear aligners. But coverage varies. Our knowledgeable team would be happy to help determine what benefits are available for you. If you have out-of-pocket costs, we offer flexible financing plans that divide the total cost of treatment into affordable monthly payments so you don't have to wait for treatment.

Gapped teeth
Crowded, overlapping teeth
Crooked teeth
Teeth that jut outward
Twisted or rotated teeth
Crossbite
Overbite or underbite

Traditional Orthodontics Vs. Invisalign

Metal Braces

Traditional orthodontic treatment consists of a metal bracket and wire system, which is attached to the front surfaces of the teeth. While traditional braces are an effective treatment, they can make wearers self-conscious about their smiles.

Braces can also be uncomfortable and irritate the soft tissues of your cheeks and gums. In addition, favorite foods like popcorn and nuts are on the "do not eat" list in order to avoid bending wires and popping off brackets. Those wires and brackets also make brushing and flossing your teeth more difficult and time-consuming, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

Clear Aligners

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, so they never detract from your smile or make you dodge every time a picture is taken.

The Invisalign aligner trays that move your teeth into the correct position are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth. They are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic. Because they are removable, you can eat all your favorite foods and oral hygiene is a breeze. You simply remove the aligner in order to brush and floss. Invisalign can also be a faster treatment option than traditional braces, in many cases.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign clear aligners are a proven orthodontic treatment that gives people the smiles of their dreams. It's as easy as:

Our practice, which is headquartered in Minerva, will provide all the instruction you need.

Even Complex Cases Can Be Treated

/

Invisalign is no longer the unproven newcomer in dentistry. The orthodontic method was approved by the FDA more than 20 years ago. Since then, advancements in this novel technique have made it possible to treat even complex orthodontic cases and skip the trip to the orthodontist.

Invisalign Treatment Timeline

Your treatment time will vary depending on how complex your case is and how well you comply with wearing your aligners. You should wear your Invisalign trays for at least 22 hours per day for the best results. You may take the trays off to clean them, eat, and brush your teeth, but otherwise, the aligners should be in your mouth. Aligners can't correct your smile if they aren't worn the required amount of time.

With offices in Minerva, Carrollton, and Dover, treatment is convenient at Dowell Dental Group.

Consultation

To determine if clear aligners can fix your alignment problems, Dr. Dowell will examine your teeth. If aligners are not a good option in your case, he can recommend a trusted orthodontist with expertise in traditional braces.

Impressions

If our dentist determines you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment, he will scan your teeth to create a digital impression. This precise 3-D image of your mouth will guide the design of your custom aligners. He can also use the scans to show you a preview of your enhanced smile.

Fabrication

The scans will be sent to a trusted Invisalign laboratory, where your custom aligners will be created to address your unique needs. Each aligner is individually crafted to match your gumline, for a fit that is both discreet and comfortable.

Treatment

When you come in for your aligners, Dr. Dowell will have you try on the first set and explain how to care for them and use them each day. Generally, patients wear a tray for two weeks and then switch to the next one in the series. Dr. Dowell will have you periodically schedule appointments so he can monitor your progress.

Completing Treatment

After you have worn the final aligner, your treatment is complete. You will continue to wear the final aligner as a retainer during sleep in order to maintain the results of your treatment.
