Invisalign Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Invisalign work?

A: Invisalign aligners move teeth with an appropriate placement of controlled movement on the teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign not only controls the amount of movement per aligner, but also the timing of the movement. So at each stage, only certain teeth are allowedto move, as determined by the orthodontic treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system that moves teeth into the desired prescribed position.


Q: How long will treatment take?

A: Average treatment time is 12-14 months. Of course this does depend on the complexity of your problem


Q: How much does Invisalign cost?

A: Invisalign generally ranges from $7,500-$9,500 which is comparable to the cost of metal braces. If your teeth only need minor corrections prices can start as low as $3,500.


Q: Does Invisalign really work?

 A: Yes. In both clinical research and dental practices around the world, Invisalign has been proven effective at straightening teeth. Nearly 3 million patients have been treated successfully so far.
