FAQ on Invisalign Braces in Grand Rapids

Is Invisalign for me?

In East Grand Rapids, Dr. Zwier is one of the early adapters and certified users of Invisalign. He has used Invisalign to treat the vast majority of common problems for adults and teens. Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustment, Dr. Zwier can use Invisalign to help. He has been successful in treating overly crowded or widely spaced teeth. Using it, he can also relieve more complex issues, including overbites, underbites and even crossbites.

How does Invisalign work?

Dr. Zwier utilizes 3D computer imaging technology to demonstrate the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position. This imaging technology is then used to design an individualized series of custom-made aligners. The patient wears the aligner for about two weeks while the teeth move incrementally. After two weeks, the current aligner is replaced with the next one until the final position is achieved.

How much does Invisalign cost?

It takes a free consultation for Dr. Zwier to give you an estimate of the cost. In East Grand Rapids, Invisalign can cost around $4,500, but depending on your case and the options you choose, our patients are eligible for rebates and discounts of up to $1,100 off that price.

Does insurance cover Invisalign?

Yes. Any insurance plan that covers orthodontics will cover Invisalign. We encourage you to visit our East Grand Rapids office for more information and accurate estimates.
