Question 1

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

$3900. This is a great deal. This is $2000 off the typical cost of Invisalign treatment in the Bay Area.

Question 2

What about insurance?

Accepted Answer

If you have orthodontic coverage you’ll be able to submit paperwork to get reimbursed directly from your insurance company. This benefit is usually around $1500 but may be more or less depending on the type of coverage you have.

Question 3

Can I eat/drink with the trays on?

Accepted Answer

Diet time, sorry! You can drink water with the trays on but need to take them out to eat or drink anything else. Snacking is tough when you're wearing Invisalign.

Question 4

What if I'm not a candidate?

Accepted Answer

We’re happy to transfer your scan to another provider for in-office care. If you’re not a candidate for our service we won’t charge you for the digital results simulation (usually $150)

Question 5

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

This depends on your goals and the distance the teeth need to move. The average treatment time is 6 months.

Question 6

How long do I need to wear the trays each day?

Accepted Answer

The trays should be worn 22 hours a day. The more you wear them the better results you’ll get.

Question 7

When can I stop wearing the retainers?

Accepted Answer

You’ll generally need to wear the retainers for 22 hours/day 3-6 months after your teeth have been straightened. After that, retainers can be worn at night (forever). It sounds scary, but that’s what it takes to keep teeth from shifting.

Question 8

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Some people don’t notice anything at all while others will have some soreness for a couple days. Since clear aligners move the teeth in smaller increments than braces, there is generally less pain than you would experience with conventional braces.

Question 9

How does it work if you see me at my office?

Accepted Answer

It's best if you book a conference room for some privacy. If you're having us come out for a Digital Results Simulation we need a power outlet and a chair for you to sit in.
