Affordable Invisalign Treatment

If you’ve been putting off improving your smile, then it’s time to move yourself up to the top of the “To Do” list.  Dr. Stormberg has been recognized as a Diamond+ Invisalign Provider, making him among the top 1% of Invisalign providers in North America. So, why not choose Invisalign and all the benefits of a beautiful, new smile? Research proves the many positive effects of a confident, beautiful smile can bring to you.  Straight teeth can give you the extra boost of confidence, to help you succeed personally and professionally and good overall health maintenance.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

There are a number of aspects related to the cost of each patient’s orthodontic care. Dr. Stormberg will start by taking diagnostic records, usually a panoramic x-ray and photographs. He will review your health history, in addition to any other concerns you may have, and complete a thorough examination to decide if Invisalign is right for you. If Invisalign is the recommended treatment, he will use our iTero Scanner to create precise 3D images of your teeth, to begin designing your customized treatment plan.

The cost is often very comparable to braces.

The cost of treatment will depend on:

  • The complexity of your case
  • The length of your treatment
  • Your insurance coverage
  • Compliance (how diligent you are in wearing your aligners)

We believe nothing should stand between you and the smile of your dreams – financial hurdles least of all. That’s why we’re proud to offer a number of financial options to make treatment affordable no matter who you are. We’re proud to accept most major forms of insurance, and we’ll work with you and your insurance company to help you get the most out of your benefits.

  • Answers To Your FAQs From Dr. Kurt Stormberg

    At what age should I schedule an appointment for an orthodontic screening?

    American Association of Orthodontists recommend you should schedule your child’s first appointment by age 7.  Orthodontic treatment and a child’s growth can complement each other.  By timing orthodontic treatment to predictable stages of dental development, the orthodontist may be able to take advantage of your child’s growth and development.  Some problems that can be treated quite well in a growing child may require corrective surgery or permanent teeth to be extracted if treated after growth has occurred.

    • How long will treatment take?

    Do braces hurt?
    Braces or Invisalign don’t “hurt,” but for the first couple days you may feel some slight discomfort. When there is soreness, Motrin or Advil (ibuprofen) can help ease the discomfort.
    Can I return to school the day I receive my braces?

    FAQs from Dr. Kurt Stormberg

    Will my teeth straighten as they grow?
    Unfortunately, no. Orthodontic issues, such as spacing and malocclusions, tend to worsen with age. It’s important to be examined as early as possible, to ensure these problems are corrected sooner rather than later.

    We do our best to schedule you for the most convenient times based on your busy schedule, but cannot make any guarantees. However, most appointments are scheduled 4-10 weeks apart, so you or your child will miss minimal work/school time.
    Can I drop my child off for an appointment?
    We completely understand your busy schedule and are happy to accommodate. Once you pick up your child, we will review what was accomplished at the conclusion of each appointment and what is expected to be accomplished at the next appointment.  We strongly recommend making the follow up appointments prior to leaving our office.
    Can orthodontic correction occur while a child has baby teeth?
    If an orthodontic issue is severe enough, then early intervention can occur while the child still has baby teeth. If your child isn’t ready yet, we’ll simply monitor their growth and development, and begin treatment when they’re ready.

    FAQs from Dr. Kurt Stormberg

    How long do I have to wear the aligners?

    Because each patient is different, treatment time with Invisalign varies. You could be in treatment for as little as 6 months or as long as 24 months – it all depends on the specific type of orthodontic problem you have and how compliant you are wearing your aligners and keeping your scheduled appointments.

    Do I have to wear the aligners even at night?

    Yes. In order for Invisalign to work as it’s designed, you must wear your aligners for up to 22 hours each day. You can remove them when eating and when brushing & flossing. You can also take them out temporarily for those special occasions such as interviews or school photos as long as you put them right back in afterward.

    Are there certain foods I must avoid eating that might break my aligners?

    Invisalign aligners are designed to be removed when eating. One of the greatest benefits associated with Invisalign is the fact that there are no food restrictions whatsoever. You can continue enjoying all your favorite foods including hard-crusted breads, corn-on-the-cob, etc. as long as you take your aligners out before eating, but be sure to at least rinse, if not brush and rinse, before replacing your Invisalign trays. Any foods with color or food coloring (coffee, tea, red sauce, curry, sodas) can be on your teeth and slowly stain your attachments and/or trays.

    Will my speech be affected?

    When you first start wearing Invisalign, you may notice that your speech is not as clear as it normally is. This is nothing to panic about, as you simply must get used to wearing the aligners. Just spend a bit of time speaking or singing out loud while wearing your aligners and before you know it, your speech will return to normal.

    Can I chew gum?

    No, chewing gum is not a good idea because it will stick to your aligners and make a big mess.

    FAQs from Dr. Kurt Stormberg

    Is it required that my family dentist schedule my appointment with the orthodontist?
    It’s not required, but often times our patients are referred by their family dentist. However, patients also are referred by family members and friends, and take the initiative to schedule an appointment themselves.
    Why should I choose an orthodontic specialist?
    Orthodontic specialists have the education, training and experience to effectively alter teeth, jaw, and facial structures to help patients achieve optimal oral health. It’s critical that treatment is personalized to each individual and properly completed, and choosing a specialist, like Dr. Stormberg, ensures that everything is done correctly.
    How do I schedule an appointment for an initial exam?
    You can schedule an appointment by calling our La Mesa office at (614) 462-4462, or you can complete an appointment request online. One of our staff members will take down some of your basic information, and let you know what you need to bring to our office for your appointment.
    What will happen at the initial examination appointment?
    Before you leave, be sure to have all the necessary information needed to complete our new patient forms, including your insurance information. Then, Dr. Stormberg will complete the examination, which can include X-rays and photographs, to properly diagnose you or your child’s condition. If you want to learn even more about what happens, you can find more information on our First Visit page.
    How often will I have appointments?
    Treatment time varies from patient to patient, depending on the severity of the orthodontic issues. The average patient wears appliances anywhere from 18-24 months, and total treatment time ranges from about 12-30 months.
    Do you give shots?
    No, as shots are not necessary for orthodontic treatment.
