About Invisalign - Invisible Braces
|
Overview of Invisalign Invisalign has emerged as a viable alternative which is increasingly being used by the orthodontists and the dentists for traditional metal dental braces. Invisalign is a series of clear and removable aligners. According to an estimate nearly 750,000 patients suffering from dental diseases have availed of this new discovery and are enjoying its benefits. Santa Clara based medical device manufacturing company Align Technology Inc. is designing, manufacturing and marketing Invisalign. The company claims to have trained nearly 36,000 doctors in the USA itself to provide Invisalign treatment, while more than 480,000 doctors have been trained worldwide to practice application of Invisalign among the dental patients. So far more than 32 million Invisalign aligners have been manufactured by the company, and it ha filed 133 patents on the same. Who are Candidates for Invisalign? Any person who has dental problem and is not satisfied with the line of treatment available so far, is a potential candidate for undertaking the Invisalign treatment. Since the treatment through Invisalign is still evolving the jury is out as to whether it should be given a preference over conventional methods like dental bridges and crowns. What is the Cost of Invisalign? The cost of treatment through Invisalign and the traditional braces is near about the same. The price of any treatment is determined by the dentist or the orthodontist. The cost of treatment varies from one doctor to another. The fee of the doctor is determined also by the length of the treatment. Depending upon the geographic location, in USA the treatment ranges between $3,500 to $3,700. Underlining point of all kinds of treatment of dental diseases is that there are no fixed costs in general, and cases determine the cost. The price range, if Invisalign is treated in Europe ranges from 3000 to 7000 euros, case complexity and length being the factor. The only difference between Europe and USA is that medical insurance still is in its infancy in Europe. To learn more about Invisalign and to find out if these revolutionary invisible aligners are the right treatment for you, you should locate a dentist or orthodontist in you're your area and schedule an appointment.
