Most people have questions. They want to know how to fix crooked, broken or spaced teeth. What will that cost? They have concerns about the various treatment options. We’ll try to answer some of the most common queries about braces in the sections below.
How much time does it take?
This is determined by the condition of your teeth. Many people have crooked teeth. Sometimes you see spaces. A percentage of the public has gum disease. All these things can affect the time, however the average time it takes to see good results is roughly 12-24 months.
Is Invisalign superior to traditional braces?
They aren’t, no. They’re just a different method of doing the same thing. Invisalign and ceramic braces are more comfortable to wear. Metal braces can be a pain to wear.
What are the costs of braces?
Orthodontic treatments are tailored to the demands of each patient, as well as their age and the type of braces they select. Traditional braces cost $5,000 to $6,000 on average, but some people may pay more or less. Invisalign usually starts around $7,000.
Will tooth extraction be necessary?
No. This will depend on your specific situation, but the orthodontist will do everything possible to avoid tooth extraction.
Do you offer flexible payment options?
The cost can be covered by your employer’s medical savings account. CareCredit is a credit card designed to cover medical and dental expenses. It functions similar to other credit cards. A standard credit card can be used to pay for treatment.
