The Differences Between Braces and Invisalign

Before you look at cost, it is important to understand the differences between braces and Invisalign. They both serve the same purpose but have got some very distinct differences that you are supposed to look at. With the help of Dr. Adam Chapnick, whenever you need to choose between the two choices, he will guide you through the differences and what purpose they each serve best. The differences may include:

a) Invisalign are more transparent making them discrete and you wouldn’t have to worry about people noticing them. However, braces are more noticeable.

b) Ceramic braces are not to be removed until the recommended time by your dentist is over hence would make some practices difficult, whereas Invisalign is supposed to be removed while eating, flossing, brushing, etc.

Options to Correct your Dental Abnormalities

c) Ceramic braces take fewer adjustments, unlike Invisalign where you have to take several trips to your dentist every two weeks to get another tray.

d) Braces treat all dental abnormalities including the severe ones like malocclusions, crossbites, among others, but Invisalign treats the not very severe cases.

e) Braces are made of glass hence are brittle even though they’re strong and therefore, cannot be fixed on your lower teeth which means they can’t fix the bottom teeth.

f) Braces contain wires that may stain your teeth unlike Invisalign

Now that you understand many of their differences, Invisalign and clear ceramic braces are both recommendable options to correct your dental abnormalities inconspicuously, but when it comes to the cost, you may be confused.

COST OF INVISALIGN AND BRACES

The Agreement with Dentist

The average cost of Invisalign and braces range from $3500 to $8000. Both costs vary due to certain factors such as your location, the prestige of the orthodontist and also the fees of the technician. As seen, There’s no significant difference in the costs of both, and that goes by the agreement you make with your dentist, and also your own preferences and tastes.

Additional Costs

It is also very important to be informed of any additional costs that you may encounter when using the clear ceramic braces or Invisalign. Some people may require more adjustments on their braces or Invisalign than others. Extra adjustments may require you to pay more. Dentists costs may also vary because some of them offer free consultations in their clinics while others charge a consultation fee. Still, other consultations may be one time while others are charged per visit.

People have medical insurance covers that cover their hospital bills. It is good to understand that not all insurance plans cover dental bills, and if they do, not all of them cover the costs of braces and Invisalign.
