Talking To Your Doctor About Invisalign® Treatment

Spread the love

Few of us remember those old days when people only had one or two options for straightening teeth! Fortunately, modern methods and procedures have made achieving beautiful smiles and improving crooked teeth easier, faster, and more tolerable! Some treatments for correcting misaligned teeth are barely noticeable — Invisalign is a popular option for people who want to improve their smile without drawing attention! Here is helpful information about talking to and getting Invisalign through caring, professional dentists like Dr. Richard Gross or Dr. Graeme Hudson at Chester Springs Dental! 

What to expect and how to prepare for your first appointment

Invisalign clear aligners can help kids, teens, and adults fix their bites and their smiles. As the #1 doctor recommended clear aligner treatment for teeth straightening in the world. Invisalign aligners have transformed over million smiles.

With Invisalign treatment, you wear a series of clear, removable, and virtually invisible aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. Invisalign treatment offers many clear advantages that braces don’t, including aesthetics, comfort, oral hygiene, and treatment time.

Ready to get started? Your first step to a straighter smile begins with a consultation with your orthodontist to determine if Invisalign treatment is right for you.

Get a sneak peek of your new smile

Interested in seeing your new smile before stepping into the orthodontist’s office? Try Invisalign SmileView™  on your mobile phone or try it on My Invisalign™ app to get a simulation of your new smile and see what your new smile could look like.

Get ready for your consultation

Researching ahead of time is a great way to get the most out of your consultation. It will help you feel more confident and less afraid to ask your doctor questions. Even a few moments spent gathering information on how Invisalign treatment works will help you discuss your expectations and treatment plan with your orthodontist.

As you get ready for your consultation, think of questions to ask your orthodontist. Asking questions is a great way to learn more about Invisalign treatment.

Some great starter questions include:

  • Are Invisalign aligners right for me?

  • How often will I need to return for check-ups?

  • Do you offer a monthly payment plan?

  • Do you accept my insurance?

  • What happens if I break an aligner?

Review your insurance

Review your insurance policy ahead of time to understand your benefits. With dental insurance, you may be covered up to $3,000 for orthodontic treatment. You can use My Invisalign app to look up coverage or you can call your insurer’s customer service line and ask what your policy covers. This information will help you and your orthodontist plan your treatment in a way that makes the most of your coverage.

Arrive prepared

Show up for your consultation prepared. Bring your list of questions and remember to ask them all. If you’re visiting this doctor for the first time, you’ll want to ensure they can access your dental records. You can request to have them sent over or bring them to your consultation.

During your consultation

Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation with an Invisalign-trained orthodontist. This consultation is a great opportunity to ask questions about the Invisalign treatment, your specific situation, potential outcomes, and payment options. The orthodontist will evaluate your smile, map out a treatment plan, and review the visual treatment plan with you.

Tell your orthodontist about medical conditions, medications, or allergies you have because they might impact your Invisalign treatment. This information will ensure you’re fitted with the correct aligners and treated correctly.

Once your orthodontist has all the information they need, they can give you a clearer idea of how to proceed. They can talk to you about your unique situation, walk you through your visual treatment   plan, and set expectations on when you should expect to start seeing results.

After your consultation

As you wrap up your consultation, your doctor will give you a summary of your discussion and treatment plan. The summary may include a treatment timeline so you know when you can expect your aligners. Invisalign clear aligners usually arrive a few weeks after the orthodontist scans your teeth, but delivery times may vary.

Schedule your consultation

The best way to learn more about Invisalign or get started on treatment is to schedule a consultation with your orthodontist. Don’t have an orthodontist? Try the Invisalign Doctor Locator to find the right Invisalign provider near you.
