Diamond Plus Invisalign Provider
Choosing a Diamond Plus Invisalign provider for your Invisalign® treatment has many advantages. It is an essential step on the path to improving your smile. But how does a prospective patient make this decision? After all, there are many orthodontists to choose from.
The good news is that there are levels ranging from Bronze to Diamond Plus Invisalign provider to help patients pick out the right orthodontist. Understandably, maybe you don’t know what any of that means, and that’s okay. Wired Orthodontics is happy to help you understand why choosing Dr. Mark Nalbandian as your orthodontist is an excellent choice.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign are clear removable aligner trays that gradually shift teeth over time to fix overbite, overcrowding, underbite, crossbite, gaps between teeth, crookedness, and other misalignments of the teeth and jaws. A complimentary consultation will help the doctor determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign. A 3D model of your teeth will aid in the manufacturing of aligners just for you.
You wear aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours each day, switching to a new set about every two weeks to begin the next stage of shifting. You can remove the aligners to eat, so there are no dietary restrictions. That also makes them easier to clean. Invisalign is a treatment for patients who desire few changes to their lifestyle.
What Is an Invisalign Diamond Plus Provider?
An Invisalign provider level is a ranking by Invisalign makers recognizing the top providers of treatment in North America. Wired Orthodontics, for instance, is a Diamond Plus provider. That means we are in the top 1 percent of Invisalign providers in North America. Of course, there is more than one provider level, and we will go into more detail below.
Invisalign Ranks Their Providers
Invisalign ranks providers of their revolutionary technology. Invisalign is a very popular orthodontic treatment worldwide, so Align Technology thought it would be helpful to patients if they could see a ranking that lets them know how experienced and dependable an orthodontist is at providing the treatment. The ranking does not necessarily say anything about the skills of the orthodontist but lets patients know that a particular orthodontist has provided many successful Invisalign treatments.
What Are the Different Levels of Invisalign Providers?
Eight different provider levels indicate how many cases an orthodontist has treated using Invisalign. Each treatment an orthodontist provides earns points. These treatments include full Invisalign treatment, Invisalign Teen treatment, and Invisalign Assist treatment. Each treatment earns 1,000 points.
- Bronze: 0 points
- Silver: 5,000 points
- Gold: 24,000 points
- Gold Plus: 30,000 points
- Platinum: 60,000 points
- Platinum Plus: 100,000 points
- Diamond: 140,000 points
- Diamond Plus: 200,000 points (Wired Orthodontics is ranked here)
So, this means a Diamond Plus Invisalign provider such as Dr. Mark Nalbandian has provided 200 or more successful Invisalign treatments each year. That is a lot of experience.
Why Should I Choose a Diamond Plus Invisalign Provider?
Achieving a Diamond Plus provider rating requires treating at least 200 or more cases with Invisalign every year. Dr. Mark Nalbandian and the Wired Orthodontics team consistently earn this top rating by providing patients with a great experience. Patients want their treatment to work efficiently, and they don’t want to spend so much time in the chair. Dr. Nalbandian’s experience level has made him both efficient and fast. It also reduces treatment time because your treatment works the first time as projected.
An Invisalign provider level isn’t the only thing patients should look for in an orthodontist, but it helps to know which orthodontists have experience treating patients using Invisalign.
Does Using a Diamond Plus Invisalign Provider Add Additional Costs?
Invisalign treatment will typically range from $3,500 to $8,000. Factors affecting the price include your location and the complexity of your dental problems. Wired Orthodontics offers Invisalign treatments at reasonable prices. Orthodontists also offer low monthly payment plans to help patients afford treatment, and dental insurance at least covers part of the cost.
Tips for Choosing an Invisalign Provider
Again, choosing an orthodontist to provide Invisalign treatment is more than just knowing their provider level. There are some key questions to answer that can assist you.
Are They an Orthodontist?
A general dentist may have additional training that allows them to provide Invisalign. An orthodontist has years of further education and training that makes them experts at treating teeth and jaw misalignments. This makes an orthodontist more qualified to provide Invisalign treatments with the efficiency and attention to detail that all patients deserve.
What Is Their Experience?
Years of experience do not necessarily mean more skill. However, an orthodontist with more experience has likely seen all sorts of cases, both complex and straightforward. That experience increases their ability to navigate the nuances of your treatment. This is where the provider levels come in handy.
Do They Use an iTero Scanner?
An iTero digital scanner is a revolutionary tool that provides an accurate map of your teeth to create a digital model. It also offers extra comfort for patients who no longer have to bite down on a tray full of plaster or putty to create a traditional mould or impression. An orthodontist using this technology can predict how your teeth will shift throughout your treatment and show you what your smile should look like upon completion. Dr. Mark Nalbandian uses an iTero scanner, and a provider level rating will often indicate if an orthodontist uses one.
Are Refinements in the Treatment Plan Part of the Cost?
This is also an important question. Adjustments to your treatment may have to be made from time to time. These are also known as refinements. Some orthodontists charge extra for refinements while others do not. If the overall treatment price is vital to you, be sure to ask if refinements are included in the cost.
