Every day we are asked “Just how much do braces cost?”.

The answer is… “That depends”.

Every patient has different needs and we customize their treatment exactly to those needs.

Here in Fairburn, Lovejoy and Powder Springs we at Atlanta Smile Studio help our patients decide on orthodontic treatments that will be right for them. This includes making them affordable.

Some adults might hesitate to wear braces because they fear the cost of the treatment. They would love to be able to improve themselves by making a big, positive difference to their smile. Self-confidence can be improved a lot with a better smile. Every day we are helping patients discover how affordable adult braces are.

Adults sometimes hesitate to wear braces because they worry about how it looks or how long the treatment is. Much like any other self-improvement process, like going to the gym, it takes some time for results to be seen. Adult braces have well known results. It takes a some time, but an incredible smile is well worth it.

Therefore, most adults use Invisalign. This Invisalign is a system of clear, customized aligners that straighten your teeth even faster than traditional braces. You come into the office fewer times and the treatment is completed sooner. And since they are invisible nobody knows you are wearing them.

Your treatment costs will depend on the severity of the problems.

• You will receive a full exam which will result in a treatment plan. We will use that plan to determine what your costs will be, before any treatment begins.

• Bring your insurance. Bring everything. We will submit the paperwork to your insurance company and manage the whole process with them, but we require the information.

• Insurance companies make agreements with each other. If you have more than one policy bring all of that information. We will help co-ordinate your coverage.

• If you pay in full before your treatment begins we will give you a discount. This only needs to be the portion your insurance would not pay.

• There are limits. Lifetime limits and procedural limits exist with different policies. We will find out what limits apply to your situation.

• We accept Visa and Mastercard.

• Your HSA account can provide extra funds if your insurance limits or maximums are reached. A Health Savings Account is an excellent resource for federally tax free money. You can use it for your orthodontics. Check to see what your balance is and use it all up! You can’t get that money back and it doesn’t roll over to next year.

• Do not assume anything. Your insurance coverage may be better or worse than you think. Orthodontic coverage is different than typical dental coverage.

• If there is a balance leftover, after your insurance has paid, we will work with you to make a payment plan over several months so you can have the affordable braces your smile deserves.

Here at Atlanta Smile Studio we will determine a treatment plan customized for you, then determine your insurance coverage. We make adult braces in Atlanta, at our Fairburn, Lovejoy and Powder Springs offices affordable. We are here to make sure that you can have that smile of your dreams!

Dr. Venn and the professionals at Smile Studio Orthodontics near Dallas GA have the skill and experience to treat their younger patients with Invisalign clear aligners for their orthodontic treatment needs.

Opportunity

Treatment with Invisalign clear aligners is not indicated if a child has not yet lost all of their baby teeth (primary teeth), and full permanent dentition is not yet complete. A child’s full set of adult teeth (permanent teeth) typically is in position by the ages of twelve or thirteen years old. For those ages and up, treatment with Dr. Venn and Invisalign can be a convenient and effective method of orthodontic treatment.

Responsibility

Parents and treatment providers must always consider the maturity and ability level of a child when prescribing treatment with Invisalign. Invisalign is removable by the wearer for eating, brushing, flossing, and cleaning the aligner trays. That makes it easy to wear and maintain, but it is also a responsibility for the child to keep track of the tray when it is not being worn. The professionals at Smile Studio Orthodontics may be able to make replacement aligner trays, but they are expensive and the wait may delay the course of treatment.

Treatment

Invisalign clear aligner trays are virtually invisible to the casual observer. The trays are made of a thermoplastic material and fit snugly over the wearer’s teeth. They exert a gentle pressure to gradually and progressively move the teeth into a more natural position. A child being treated by Dr. Venn with Invisalign may experience less discomfort than with traditional braces. Kids can be active and social and not feel self-conscious that they are being treated for their orthodontic issues.

Support

Dr. Venn and the team at Smile Studio Orthodontics near Dallas GA are sensitive to the needs and lifestyles of all their active young patients. They understand the commitment required from a child toward their treatment, like that Invisalign clear aligners need to be worn 22 hours each day to be effective. Young patients being treated with Invisalign clear aligners rely on the supportive and compassionate care of Dr. Venn and the team at Smile Studio Orthodontics for the best treatment outcomes possible.

Outcomes

Results vary with each patient; typically treatment with Invisalign clear aligners provides approximately a 43% improvement compared to treatment with traditional braces, which has the potential to show a 90-95% improvement. Invisalign is not indicated in all cases of malocclusions (e.g., crossbites). Depending on the treatment needs and goals of the patient, Invisalign is a manageable and comfortable method of orthodontic treatment for children.

A child’s life is complicated and can get more so with orthodontic treatment. Dr. Venn and everyone at Smile Studio Orthodontics know that treatment may be a necessity for a child, but it’s also an opportunity for them to learn responsibility and self-confidence while correcting their smiles. Invisalign may be the right treatment for your child.
