How is Invisalign treatment by élan different?
Dr. Meghan Hodges is a premier Tulsa dentist that prides herself on creating a unique, convenient and custom tailored Invisalign experience. She uses a 3Shape TRIOS 4 Intraoral Scanner to provide an extremely detailed digital model of your mouth. From there she can provide a detailed treatment plan with a smile preview + timeline, outline treatment costs, and discuss monthly payment options. Our Invisalign treatments are quicker than most due to precision planning, and the results speak for themselves!
How does Invisalign treatment work?
Invisalign treatment works through a series of custom-made, clear aligners designed to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, gently applying controlled force to specific teeth. Patients love this process because the aligners are removable, allowing for easy eating and cleaning without dietary restrictions. The treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth, which is used to create a personalized treatment plan. As you progress through each aligner, you'll notice your smile becoming straighter and more aligned, all while enjoying the comfort and discretion that Invisalign offers.

What are the benefits of straighter teeth?
Aside from the boost in self-confidence that comes with a nice straight smile, there are many health benefits that come from proper smile alignment. Some of those benefits are:
1️⃣ Reduced risk of gum disease: Straight teeth make it easier to clean around each tooth, improving oral hygiene and reducing the likelihood of periodontal issues.
2️⃣ Enhanced functionality: Properly aligned teeth ensure that you are using them as intended, optimizing their function.
3️⃣ Alleviated discomfort: A corrected bite can significantly reduce the chances of headaches and jaw pain, providing overall relief.
4️⃣ Boosted self-confidence: Who doesn't like a straight bright smile?!
What comes with my Invisalign treatment?
When you receive Invisalign treatment from a provider, you take home several key components to ensure the success of your orthodontic journey. Here's what typically comes with an Invisalign treatment:
1️⃣ Custom Aligners: A set of clear, custom-made aligners designed to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. These aligners are created based on a 3D digital scan of your mouth.
2️⃣ Care Instructions: Detailed guidelines on how to wear, clean, and maintain your aligners to ensure they remain effective and hygienic.
3️⃣ Storage Case: A protective case to safely store your aligners when you are not wearing them, helping to keep them clean and prevent loss or damage.
4️⃣ Chewies: Small, soft, cylinder-shaped tools that help ensure the aligners fit snugly and securely on your teeth by encouraging a tight fit.
5️⃣ Removal Tool: A device to assist in removing the aligners easily and safely without causing damage to the aligners or your teeth.
6️⃣ Aligner Tracking: A schedule or app for tracking your aligner changes, ensuring you switch to the next set of aligners at the appropriate time to maintain the treatment's progression.
7️⃣ Refinement Aligners (if needed):Additional aligners provided during the treatment process if minor adjustments are necessary to achieve the desired results.
8️⃣ Retainers: After completing the aligner series, retainers may be provided to maintain the new position of your teeth and prevent them from shifting back to their original positions.
These components collectively support a smooth and effective Invisalign treatment, helping you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.
Invisalign pricing & costs breakdown
The average cost of Invisalign treatment can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the case, how many trays are needed, and how many adjustment appointments are needed. However, the general price range for Invisalign treatment is typically between $3,000 and $6,000. Some considerations that influence cost
1️⃣ Severity of Dental Issues: More complex cases requiring extensive adjustments may be at the higher end of the price range.
2️⃣ Geographic Location: Costs can vary significantly depending on where you live. Urban areas or regions with a higher cost of living may have higher prices.
3️⃣ Provider's Expertise: Orthodontists with extensive experience and a high success rate with Invisalign may charge more for their services.
4️⃣ Insurance Coverage: Some dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of Invisalign. It's important to check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered.
5️⃣ Treatment Duration: The length of the treatment can also affect the overall cost. Longer treatments may involve more aligners and additional office visits.
Don't fall for bait & switch pricing!
Many Tulsa Invisalign providers (and providers around the country) sometimes advertise very low pricing on Invisalign. However, these extremely low prices don't include additional adjustments and appointments from by the dentist. This often leads patients to receive a much more expensive bill when all is said and done.
It's always a good idea to consult with an Invisalign provider to get a personalized quote based on your specific needs.
