Breaking Down the Cost of Invisalign Treatment
Planning
To begin your orthodontic treatment, our dentist will examine your mouth and take scans and X-rays of your dental arches. These scans will be used in the fabrication of your aligners. Invisalign lab technicians will create a custom plan that guides each tooth into its ideal position.
Aligners
The main factor in the cost of your Invisalign treatment is the aligners. The more severe your misalignment is, the more aligners you'll need to straighten your teeth. More aligners mean a more expensive treatment plan.
Retainer
At the end of your treatment, you will have to wear a retainer every night to keep your teeth in their newly straightened positions. You may wear the final set of clear aligners in your treatment plan or a retainer.
Are There Additional Charges?
The price our dentist provides will include your entire Invisalign treatment. However, if you need preparatory care, this will add to your overall cost. Your mouth must be healthy enough for cosmetic dentistry before we can proceed with Invisalign, meaning concerns like gum disease, decay, and infection will have to be addressed first.
Our Nashville dental office is a one-stop shop for all your needs. Not only can you skip the orthodontist, but you can also avoid specialists like periodontists and endodontists for your restorative treatment.
Braces vs. Invisalign
Traditional braces can be less expensive than Invisalign, but clear aligners offer a host of benefits over this orthodontic option:
Discreet: Clear aligners are significantly less noticeable than metal braces, allowing teens and adults alike to confidently undergo treatment.
Comfortable: The metal brackets of braces can dig into the soft tissues of the mouth, causing discomfort. Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth plastic that's comfortable to wear.
Removable: Braces are in place 24/7, but you can remove clear aligners for meals, photographs, and special events.
While you may pay more for Invisalign, many of our patients prefer this alternative orthodontic option and find it well worth the cost.
"I hated my smile and was so insecure... Dr Harris was honest from the beginning about his plan/pricing. He made sure I felt good about the plan and was always confident in what he was doing. Also the hygienists are so sweet and comforting! Corey is amazing. Now I want to smile all the time!!! I’m so happy with the results. All thanks to gulch dental studio. I highly recommend to anyone who is questioning where to go for cosmetic dentistry." Tate Harrop
