Clear Braces by SureSmile®& Invisalign® for Adults and Children
Many of my patients are surprised to learn that you don't need to go to an orthodontist to receive the new clear or invisible Invisalign braces to straighten your teeth. We've been providing SureSmile & Invisalign for years now and have many happy patients with beautiful straight teeth to vouch for how easy it is.
Imagine straightening your teeth with clear aligners rather than the old style metal bands and brackets in your mouth. If you are a candidate for SureSmile or Invisalign - Dr. Tsai can evaluate your teeth in just a few minutes - it is always an easy decision to start treatment.
How Long Does SureSmile Invisalign Treatment Take?SureSmile Invisalign typically takes 12-18 months to complete treatment. Once you receive your first set of aligners, you will wear them 23 hours a day, only taking them off to eat, drink, brush, floss, and for important events/meetings. Every two to four weeks, you'll visit our office for your next set (or multiple sets) of aligners. When you get close to the end of your treatment, we'll order a set of retainers. You'll wear your retainers all day for at least a couple of months. Once your teeth have stabilized, you should wear your retainers at night. This keeps your teeth in their new, straight position.
How Much Does SureSmile Invisalign Cost?Though every case is unique, we charge $5,995 for aSureSmile Invisalign cases. Most of the time, cases fall into this category. This includes your aligners, adjustments, delivery of the aligners, and one set of retainers at treatment completion. This does not include more complex movements/cases which we will evaluate during your consultation. It also doesn't include lost or damaged aligners. So don't leave them on your lunch trays in the cafeteria...wink, wink.
Does dental insurance cover SureSmile Invisalign cost?Absolutely. Dental Insurance usually covers as much as 50% of the total cost of SureSmile Invisalign. However, every dental insurance plan is different. Just call or email our office to set up a consultation appointment. We will give you an insurance estimate of your copay after we make sure you’re a candidate for SureSmile Invisalign.
