Is Invisalign Express Right For You?

This is an expedited clear aligner treatment for milder cases of dental misalignment.

??Invisalign Express for Mild Dental Misalignment ? is a quick solution for straight teeth. It uses a smaller number of aligners. This makes the treatment time shorter. But, it ??s important to note that this method is effective only for milder cases.

The treatment is as comprehensive and effective as a full Invisalign program. The difference lies in its heightened efficiency and expeditiousness. Therefore, if you are in pursuit of a swifter path to attain straight teeth, this option may align well with your preferences.

This treatment uses a maximum of 10 sets of aligners (some may require fewer), and the treatment takes about 6 months.

Invisalign Express costs less than full Invisalign treatment because it uses fewer aligners and a shorter treatment program: Express treatments range from $1,800 to $3,500. The average is about $2,500. Full Invisalign treatment plans cost between $2,500 and $9,000.

Invisalign Express uses the same comprehensive treatment program, so your price includes these features:

• Digital x-rays
• 3D iTero imaging
• In-office visits with expert orthodontist
• SmartTrack ? aligner material
• SmartForce ? attachments  if necessary 
• Easy teeth whitening with aligners
• Follow-up visits
• Retainers

Invisalign Express is suitable for mild cases of dental misalignment:

• Minimal rotation of the teeth
• Less than 2 mm of spacing/crowding per arch
• Less than 2 mm of midline correction needed
• Less than 1.5 mm of dental expansion needed

Invisalign Express is a popular option for prior orthodontic cases, for those whose teeth have drifted years after their treatment.

During your consultation, your orthodontist will do a thorough examination to determine whether your case qualifies for Invisalign Express. This involves a discussion of your dental history, in-person examination, and  digital x-rays , and/or  3D-digital imaging .

Your doctor will assess your case to determine if you qualify for Invisalign Express. If your dental condition is too severe for Express, you can still receive full Invisalign treatment. Your dental insurance can be used to cover the costs of your treatment.

In some situations, you might need extra care. This could include tooth extractions or cosmetic dentistry. You might also need to wear traditional metal braces for a while before switching to Invisalign Express.

These traditional metal braces, often called ??brackets and wires ? , are a common step before moving to other options. These options can include wearing braces like ceramic braces or lingual braces. Remember, every case is unique and requires a personalized approach.
