However consulting your orthodontist or dentist is the best way to find out if iBraces are right for you. What do iBraces look like?iBraces have a unique design and fit. The bracket bases are contoured to hug the lingual (or tongue-side) surfaces of your teeth for optimal comfort, fit and performance. iBraces have a very low profile so they are less likely to interfere with your speech. Our special iWires™ are precisely programmed with your unique prescription to ensure efficient, effective tooth movement.
What makes iBraces so different?iBraces are 100% customized to deliver specific results for each patient. Your doctor determines your prescription and then your iBraces are custom made just for you. We use the latest CAD/CAM, rapid prototyping and robotic technologies to fabricate each iBrackets™ and iWire™ with your unique prescription. There are no other orthodontic braces on the market, for the front or the back of your teeth, that are 100% customized. Does it take longer to finish treatment with iBraces?Many patients finish treatment faster with iBraces, however each patient is different and only your doctor can accurately predict how long your treatment will take. Will iBraces cost more than regular braces?Most doctors charge more for iBraces than traditional braces because they must pay a laboratory fee to Lingualcare. The price of iBraces will vary by doctor but you can expect to pay 30% to 50% more than traditional braces. Will insurance cover the cost of iBraces?You should talk to your provider to see if orthodontia is covered in your plan. In most cases iBraces will receive the same coverage as conventional braces.
