Straightening the teeth not only helps the smile look better, but it can also improve a person’s oral health at the same time! When the teeth are properly aligned, there are fewer tiny spaces for plaque to hide and cause decay, meaning a person is able to brush and floss their teeth more effectively, lowering their risk for cavities long-term. And, thanks to Invisalign, you can now enjoy all of these benefits without getting metal braces. This treatment is a discreet and proven way to dramatically enhance your smile, and only you and your dentist will know you’re using it!
Instead of noticeable brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to straighten the teeth. A patient simply slips a tray over their teeth, and it places a small amount of pressure on them that gradually shifts them into the correct positions. After a patient has worn every tray in their entire series, that’s it--their new smile is ready for the world.
The trays themselves practically disappear on the teeth when worn, meaning patients are able to smile with confidence throughout their treatment. Plus, unlike with regular braces, people don’t have to alter their diet or brushing habits. You can simply take the trays off whenever you like, helping Invisalign slip seamlessly into any lifestyle.

Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners offer a number of unique benefits:
For patients with mildly crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth, Invisalign is definitely a viable treatment option. It’s best for adults and older teens because the aligners need to be worn for about 20-22 hours a day to be as effective as possible, and this does require some self-discipline on the patient’s part. The best way to figure out if Invisalign would work for you or your child is to simply schedule an in-person consultation here at Advanced Smile Design. We’ll be more than happy to answer all of your questions!
Are you interested in getting an estimate of the cost of your Invisalign treatment? Then the best thing to do is schedule a consultation at our Willow Grove dental office. That way, we can determine factors unique to your case, like how many clear aligners need to be made, and provide you with a price. If you want to learn some general information on the topic before then, then read on!
At your consultation, we will conduct a comprehensive oral exam and learn about your dental history to determine:
Mail-in aligners usually cost less because they skip the initial consultation, rely on DIY impressions, and don’t have a licensed dental professional overseeing the treatment process. Invisalign, on the other hand, uses state-of-the-art digital impressions to ensure maximum comfort and precision. Plus, the entire treatment process is overseen by a dentist or orthodontist to ensure that the teeth move gradually and safely into their properly aligned positions. In other words, Invisalign requires a higher upfront investment, but it’s well worth it.
Although orthodontic benefits are often reserved for traditional braces and patients who are under the age of 18, there are some exceptions. So, don’t hesitate to read through the fine print on your plan to see if a portion of the cost of Invisalign is covered. We can help too! We are proud to work with many of the nation’s leading providers, including Anthem, BlueCross/BlueShield, and Cigna. That means we can review your coverage, give you an estimate of your out-of-pocket expenses, and even handle the paperwork for you.
The last thing we want is for the cost to prevent you from pursuing your dream smile. That’s why we offer several financial solutions! The first is a free Invisalign consultation, so you can meet our team, learn about the treatment process, and get an estimate of the cost without any stress. We also offer an in-house savings plan (which includes a significant discount on cosmetic services), and we welcome payment plans with trusted third-party financiers like CareCredit.
Ultimately, our goal as your dental team is to make every aspect of your treatment, including the finances, completely stress-free. So, if you have a question for us about Invisalign – whether it’s about the cost or what happens after you’re done – don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
