Invisalign • Lombard & Aurora

Invisalign treatment typically ranges $2,500–$7,000 depending on case complexity and treatment length. Most dental insurance plans with orthodontic coverage contribute. We confirm your exact cost and payment options at your consultation.

Most adult cases finish in 6–12 months. Simpler alignment issues can resolve faster; more complex cases take longer. You’ll see a projected timeline — and a preview of your expected result — before treatment begins.

There’s mild pressure or tightness for a day or two each time you switch to a new set of aligners — that’s how you know they’re working. It’s generally far less discomfort than traditional braces, and most patients manage it without pain medication.

No. Healthy teeth can be straightened at any age. A large share of our Invisalign patients are adults in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. What matters is the health of your teeth and gums, not your age.

Invisalign is removable, nearly invisible, and lets you eat normally — ideal for adults who want discretion. Braces handle the most severe cases and require no discipline. For mild to moderate alignment issues, Invisalign delivers comparable results with far less lifestyle disruption.

Yes — you remove the aligners to eat and drink anything except water. There are no food restrictions like with braces. Just brush before putting aligners back in to keep them clear and odor-free.

20–22 hours per day — essentially all the time except when eating, drinking (other than water), and brushing. Consistent wear is the single biggest factor in finishing on schedule.

You may notice a slight lisp for the first day or two as your tongue adjusts. It fades quickly with normal talking — most patients speak completely normally within a week.
