The Treatment Process

Consultation

Initially, we will have a consultation at our Dental Annex office to discuss if Clear Braces is right for you, and address any questions or concerns you have about the treatment, insurance or costs.

Treatment Plan

Using your treatment plan, clear aligners are created, and customized to your teeth. Simply wear them every day, taking them out to eat, brush and floss.

Treatment Phase

Once you’re ready to proceed, x-rays and impressions are administered to create an individual treatment plan – including the position of your teeth and how they will align with treatment.

Regular Visits

You advance in the treatment by switching your aligners every two weeks for a fresh set. You will also meet with us in our Dental Annex office every six weeks or so to examine your progress.

How much does it cost?

One of the first concerns with those considering Clear Braces is, “How much will it cost?” But it is more affordable than you think. In fact, you can enjoy the health and aesthetic benefits of Clear Braces at a comparable price to traditional wire braces.

On average, the total cost is between $4,500 and $8,000. The total price depends on the individual level of treatment necessary. However, this price is the same for conventional braces. When choosing between inconvenient metal braces and the comfortable, removable aligners, the choice is clear.

Your Dental Annex dentist also provides payment options for treatment. We have several financing options that will best fit your needs. In addition, your dental insurance may cover orthodontics, so your costs could be reduced or completely taken care of. If your insurance doesn’t cover the cost of orthodontics, you can still take advantage of our convenient payment options.

To schedule a consultation, or ask any questions, please contact your Dental Annex dentist at your earliest convenience. Together, we can shape the smile you’ve always dreamed of!
