Invisalign® in Tinley Park, IL

Invisalign® aligners offer a discreet and comfortable orthodontic solution, gently aligning your teeth. Custom-made to fit your unique dental structure and goals, these aligners are seamlessly integrated into your daily routine. Every two weeks, you’ll transition to a new set of aligners, gradually progressing towards your desired results. They’re designed to be worn continuously, with removal only necessary for eating, drinking, and cleaning. While they may feel snug initially, they’ll quickly adapt to your mouth, ensuring a more comfortable experience over time.

  • How does the Invisalign® process work?

    The Invisalign® journey begins with a thorough assessment, including photographs of your face and teeth, dental impressions, and x-rays. These records are compiled and sent to Invisalign® along with your desired outcome specifications. Utilizing advanced technology, Invisalign® transforms these impressions into a precise 3D model of your teeth, collaborating closely with your dentist to ensure accuracy. Once the model is perfected, custom trays are crafted and delivered to your dentist’s office. Your treatment plan typically involves wearing each set of trays for two-week intervals, spanning approximately two years or as determined by your dentist for optimal results.

  • Invisalign® vs. braces—what's the difference?

    There are many differences between Invisalign® and braces, we’ve listed some of the largest ones here. Ultimately, the decision is up to you, but the introduction of Invisalign® to the market introduced a more efficient, less painful way to straighten teeth.

    • Materials. Invisalign® uses clear transparent aligners, while braces use wires and brackets.
    • Removability. Invisalign® aligners can be removed by the user at any time, while braces can only be removed by a professional.
    • Food Restrictions. Invisalign® allows a user to eat whatever they would like and not make changes to their oral care practices, while braces restrict what the user can safely eat and require special maintenance and care.
    • Injury Risks. Invisalign® aligners do not present any injury risks, while braces can lead to cuts and other injuries.
    • Visibility. Invisalign® aligners are nearly impossible for others to notice, while braces are almost impossible to miss.
  • How much does Invisalign® cost?

    According to the Invisalign® website, the cost for this treatment is similar to the cost for metal braces. Costs can vary, depending on:

    1. Insurance coverage. Most insurance plans cover Invisalign® the same way they cover metal braces. It is rare that insurance will cover Invisalign for purely cosmetic reasons, but each case is different.
    2. Length / complexity of treatment. With Invisalign®, you get new clear aligners every couple of weeks, so the cost varies, depending on if your treatment requires more (or fewer) aligners.

    If you have any financial questions, please contact our office and we will be happy to discuss your insurance coverage or additional payment options available.
