At The Dental Room, we meet many adult and older clients who wish their teeth were straighter but assume it’s too late to make changes. Often put off by the idea of traditional braces, they feel they’ve missed their chance. The reality is that there are still treatment options available—and traditional metal braces aren’t the only choice, regardless of age.
Invisalign is the discreet way to straighten teeth, using clear, plastic removable aligners that clients swap every two weeks to gradually straighten (re-align) their teeth. The aligners should be worn for 22 hours per day for optimum results, taking them out only for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that has been used worldwide by millions of people to straighten teeth. The technology has advanced over the years and can now be used to address a wide range of teeth alignment concerns, not just minor adjustments. At The Dental Room, Dr Shawn Rama is an accredited Invisalign provider and offers this treatment as one of the options for clients seeking a tailored approach to improving their smile.
Visible benefits, invisible treatment
- Invisalign aligners are instantly removable, which makes eating, brushing, and flossing easier.
- Invisalign aligners can be taken out for special occasions, such as a professional presentation or a dinner party!
- The aligners do not interfere with an active lifestyle or work.
- Treatment time is usually shorter than with conventional braces; our clients average between 6 – 18 months of treatment time.
- The aligners are virtually invisible, so your friends or colleagues won’t even know you’re having treatment.
- Very gentle treatment process with minimal (if any) pain.
- It’s kind of cool! You are undergoing cutting-edge treatment to straighten your teeth.
Your straight up guide to Invisalign treatment at The Dental Room
Your Invisalign experience starts with an initial Invisalign consultation that costs $90, in which we examine and identify whether you would benefit from Invisalign treatment.
Following this consultation, initial records (impressions, photos, and radiographs) are taken to help create your customised 3D plan. The cost is approximately $350 and is taken off the final Invisalign quote.
Two weeks later, we meet again for a discussion of your individualised treatment plan at no charge. Using 3D software technology we will be able to see and discuss the series of movements your teeth will go through over the course of the treatment. We will also provide a quotation with payment plan options.
With your final approval, your aligners are tailor-made by Invisalign to be a perfect fit for you. This usually takes about three weeks.
Then, the exciting part happens: fitting time! We make a time for you to come in for the all-important first fitting of your brand-new aligners. Typically 3 sets of aligners will be given to you each time and each set is to be swapped for the next after two weeks.
You will be visiting us approximately every 6 weeks to monitor the progress of your treatment and receive the next set of aligners.
We then take pleasure in providing complimentary teeth whitening and retainers at the completion of your Invisalign treatment.
Transparent Costs
No two mouths are the same and the number of aligners required will be different; so the Invisalign® cost will vary from person to person and can range from $2000 to $7000.
Affordability is an important factor when considering dental treatment. At The Dental Room, we offer a choice of payment options, including interest-free payment plans, to help make Invisalign treatment more accessible. Costs vary depending on the complexity of each case, and we provide a detailed quote during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
