Invisalign: Is it right for my practice?

One question we deal with regularly from clients relates to Invisalign.  Questions arise because the cost for Invisalign cases does not flow in the same way as the cost for a standard treatment case.
As a quick background, Invisalign offers a series of clear retainers to help straighten teeth.  Put in the first retainer and after a period of tooth movement, you pop that retainer out and put the next one in your mouth.  For us, this has proven popular with adult patients who want straighter teeth, but appreciate the aesthetic component of having the clear retainers instead of metal brackets.
We don’t comment on treatment so none of this post relates to the efficacy of treatment under this method.  Rather, the issue at hand is the payment for the Invisalign product.
