Using Your Dental Benefits To Straighten Your Smile

Do you want to straighten your smile and use your dental benefits to help cover the cost? Then talk to our team! In today’s blog, Dr. Robert M. Browne, DDS in Prairie Village, KS, talks about using your dental benefits before they expire, and starting your treatment with clear orthodontic aligners!

Correcting Your Uneven Smile

If you have crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth, then you should consider seeing our team for treatment. Otherwise, your poor alignment could lead to food and drink particles trapped where brushing and flossing alone cannot remove them, a major factor in the onset of tooth decay and gum disease. Likewise, poor alignment could place pressure on your bite that increases the risk of painful complications like TMJ disorder and even bruxism (teeth grinding). You may also feel uncomfortable with your appearance! But we can help, and you can see us now to use your dental benefits to start straightening your smile.

Dental Benefits and Health Savings Account

If you have a dental insurance plan, then you have benefits available to use throughout the year, but which could expire at the end of December. You then likely have a waiting period before you can use your 2027 benefits. If you have a health savings account, then you have accrued funds that will expire unless put to good use. But we can help! Seeing us now means we can start you on your treatment journey before the holidays complicate your schedule and your 2026 benefits vanish.

Our Clear Aligner System 

How do we straighten your smile? Instead of employing metal braces, we opt for an option that is practically invisible. We will examine your smile to assess the severity of your misalignment. If we think our orthodontic clear aligners are right for you, then we will take detailed digital images of your smile quickly and comfortably, and then use them in a lab setting to design and craft a series of custom clear aligners. When these are ready, you can start your treatment. You will wear a set for about two weeks, for 20 to 23 hours a day! After only a year, you could see optimal results. These are also removable, making them even more convenient at mealtime, during special occasions, or prior to brushing and flossing your teeth.

If you have any questions about how we use your dental benefits to help straighten your smile, then contact our teams to learn more about our orthodontic clear aligners!
