Why Choose Kobza Dental for Invisalign?
Only Dental Office in the Area That Offers Invisalign Aligners
The first step toward a straighter smile starts with a consultation with Dr. Kobza. He will evaluate your teeth and help you determine which orthodontic treatment would best suit your needs. Once you have decided to move forward with Invisalign, the process goes as follows:
We will take impressions of your mouth, create a personalized treatment plan with Invisalign Go, and send this information to the Invisalign labs.
When your first set of trays are ready, you will begin wearing them for 20 to 22 hours every day, taking them out only for eating and for maintenance.
After about two weeks, you will switch to the next set of trays, bringing you one step closer to your end goal.
Every couple of months, you’ll need to come into our Falls City office so that Dr. Kobza can check on your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Before you know it, you’ll have the smile of your dreams! It really is that simple.
Benefits of Choosing Invisalign
Not only can you avoid the metal brackets and wires all over your teeth but you also enjoy the following advantages through Invisalign treatment:
More confidence. Because Invisalign is barely noticeable when worn, many people might not even know they’re there.
Faster results. Each case is different, but instead of taking multiple years of treatment, Invisalign Go typically takes, at most, 18 months, and as little as three to six months to completely transform your smile.
Better oral health. A clean mouth is a healthy mouth, and straight teeth are much easier to brush and floss effectively than crooked teeth. By straightening your smile, you create a more conducive environment for lifelong oral health.
Easier oral care. With Invisalign, you don’t have to work around the cumbersome brackets and wires to keep your teeth clean and bacteria free. Just remove your trays and brush and floss them as usual.
More freedom in your food choices. Traditional braces bring a list of foods that you need to avoid during treatment. But the removeable clear aligners allow you to continue eating whatever you want. You only need to brush and floss your teeth before putting the trays back in.

Understanding the Cost of Invisalign
Are you interested in straightening your teeth but worried about the cost of Invisalign in Falls City? This is only natural, but it’s important to keep in mind the numerous benefits that Invisalign has over traditional braces. It’s certainly a wise investment to make in your smile. To learn more about how the price of Invisalign treatment can vary, keep reading below. You could also schedule an appointment – we’re currently offering a FREE Invisalign consultation!
Factors That Affect the Cost of Invisalign
Each person’s smile is unique, so the price of Invisalign treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Rather, various factors can influence the cost (which your Invisalign dentist in Falls City will discuss during your consultation):
Which arch(es) you’re straightening – Most people wear aligners on both arches, which naturally costs more than only wearing them on the top or bottom arch.
The complexity of your case – Fixing multiple crooked teeth will cost more than simply closing a small gap between the front teeth.
The estimated length of treatment – The longer your treatment is expected to take, the more aligners you’ll need. Therefore, the price of your treatment will be higher.
Comparing the Costs of Invisalign and Smile Direct Club™
If price was the only thing you were concerned about in choosing how to straighten your teeth, then Smile Direct Club would be the victor. After all, the cost of Invisalign generally ranges from $1,500 to $5,000, but it can be as high as $8,000 in some cases. In contrast, Smile Direct Club rarely costs more than $2,000.
But what’s the catch?
“Do-it-yourself” clear aligner kits like Smile Direct Club require you to make impressions of your teeth and follow the treatment process on your own, with zero oversight from a professional. As a result, it can be all too easy to make a mistake (like incorrectly taking impressions) that would cause orthodontic issues that require expensive treatment from a dentist down the road.
Meanwhile, at Kobza Dental, you have the trusted guidance of Dr. Kobza every step of the way. You can rest easy knowing your aligners will be accurately made and your treatment progress will be monitored, making the overall process safer and more effective. For the peace of mind that comes with a quality treatment, it pays to invest in Invisalign in Falls City.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?
Only some dental insurance providers cover orthodontic treatment, and not all of them cover Invisalign. That said, every plan is different, and yours may offer partial coverage.
Our team can help you navigate the details of your plan and find the coverage you qualify for. Although we’re in-network with Delta Dental and BlueCross BlueShield, we gladly welcome all PPO plans.
Options for Making Invisalign Affordable
Even if you’re uninsured, we can still help you fit the cost of Invisalign into your budget. For one, low- or even no-interest financing is available through CareCredit. If you’re looking to save on more than just Invisalign, our in-house savings plan is a great alternative to insurance. For a flat annual fee, you’ll get FREE preventive care and significant discounts on most of our other services – including $300 off Invisalign!
As mentioned earlier, we also offer a FREE Invisalign consultation! We’ll examine and digitally scan your mouth, as well as determine your eligibility for Invisalign – all at no cost to you. That’s a value of about $190! Visit our special offers page to learn more.
Indications for Invisalign
Thanks to its versatility, Invisalign is able to help people with the most common orthodontic issues, whether they are simple or complex. If any of the following sound familiar, then know that Invisalign might just be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth can develop for many reasons. Sometimes, the jawbone is simply too small, meaning the teeth don’t have enough room to line up correctly. One or more teeth may just come in at an odd angle naturally despite there being adequate space. And, the teeth naturally shift out of alignment over time (even if someone had braces in the past). Whatever the case may be, Invisalign has been shown to help put everything where it is supposed to be.
Gaps Between Teeth
A large gap between two teeth is instantly noticeable, and in addition to the aesthetic concerns, it can lead to other problems. Depending on the placement and size, a gap can cause a speech impediment or whistling on certain syllables, plus it can end up accumulating food that increases the risk of cavities and gum disease. Thankfully, Invisalign can close spaces no matter where they might be.
Bite Alignment
As important as it is for all of your individual teeth to be straight, they should also line up when the mouth is closed. This enables you to chew comfortably as well as keep your mouth shut while breathing through your nose (which you should be doing 90% of the time). But, overbite, underbite, open bite, and crossbite can make someone feel self-conscious as well as be the root source of chronic jaw pain and headaches. But with the help of Invisalign, these problems and more can be fixed relatively quickly.
Invisalign FAQs
If you’ve been living with crooked, gapped, crowded or misaligned teeth, you have an avenue to smile perfection with Invisalign clear braces. That means that you can finally feel comfortable with smiling for photos and speaking before groups of people. While the benefits of the procedure are numerous, it’s likely that you have some questions that need to be answered.
At Kobza Dental, we believe in educating our patients so they can feel confident about receiving care. Thus, Dr. Kobza has taken the time to answer five commonly asked questions about treatment with Invisalign. To find out more about what the procedure can do for you, contact our Falls City office to schedule a visit today!
How much does Invisalign treatment cost?
The Invisalign treatment process is highly customized, so the best way to receive an accurate estimate is to visit us to be examined by Dr. Kobza. In general, though, the cost can range from $1,500 to $5,000. This is partly dependent on the treatment time you need, your adherence to the protocols and the severity of your bite imbalances.
When you consider the fact that Invisalign offers the same results as traditional braces in a more discreet manner, you just can’t go wrong with making this investment in your smile.
How long is the treatment process?
One of the highlights of Invisalign treatment is that it can typically correct patients’ bites in less time than the traditional braces method. The actual length of time can be determined when you visit our Falls City office for a consultation. Depending on the condition of your teeth, the process can range, on average, from 12 to 24 months.
Is the process painful?
Like the traditional braces method, Invisalign works by applying pressure to the teeth to encourage them to move. Initially, this can cause some discomfort, but as time progresses it will be less intense. A way to manage any temporary discomfort is to take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen.
Can Invisalign harm my teeth?
Before treatment with Invisalign commences, Dr. Kobza will perform a thorough examination to make sure your teeth are healthy and strong. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about any hiccups once the process begins.
It’s important to remember, though, that a primary concern throughout the process is the maintenance of excellent oral hygiene practices. This is important because of how close the aligners fit to your teeth, which can contribute to the growth of bacteria. So to prevent this from happening, be sure to brush and floss at least two times a day, and to clean your aligners properly using denture cleaner or a special product called Retainer Brite.
Will I need a retainer?
Unfortunately, there is no way to bypass wearing a retainer after your treatment with Invisalign concludes. That’s because it takes time for the jawbone to form around the new position of your tooth roots, which solidifies your results. Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Kobza will inform you of how long you’ll need to wear the retainer. He’ll also monitor your progress to ensure you’re making improvements on schedule.
While Invisalign represents an amazing breakthrough in the world of dentistry, the only way to enjoy its benefits is to contact us today to request a visit with Dr. Kobza!
