Invisalign aligners

What Invisalign can treat

Invisalign is used for crowding, gaps, mild to moderate bite problems (overbite, underbite, or crossbite), and some rotations. Aligners come out for meals and are hard to notice, which is why both adults and teenagers ask about them. Capstone offers Invisalign in Columbus, Blacklick, and Hilliard.

Why people choose it

• Nearly invisible. The clear material is easy to overlook.
• Removable. Take trays out to eat, brush, and floss. No food list, no threading floss around brackets.
• Smoother than wires. Aligners are smooth plastic, so cheeks and lips are less irritated.
• Easier hygiene. You can clean your teeth fully at home.
• Often a shorter path. Many cases finish in less time than braces, with fewer office visits. Complex cases take longer.

How a case moves

1. Consultation and digital scan. The visit is low pressure. The team looks at your teeth, answers questions, and scans in 3D. No putty impression.
2. A plan you can preview. Invisalign software maps the movements. You can see a virtual picture of the smile from start to finish.
3. Custom aligners. After you approve the plan, your series of trays is made.
4. Daily wear. Each aligner is worn 20–22 hours a day. Remove them only to eat, to drink anything but water, and to brush and floss. Switch to the next set every 1–2 weeks.
5. Check-ins. Most people come in every 6–8 weeks. Remote monitoring is sometimes available.

Cost in Columbus

Complexity, time, and the number of aligners change the fee. In general, Invisalign is priced similarly to traditional braces. Exact fees vary, and the office will give a personalized estimate rather than a guess over the phone.

Capstone accepts a wide range of dental plans and will verify benefits, file claims, and explain what orthodontic coverage actually pays. Many policies now treat Invisalign the same way they treat braces. Monthly payments and third-party financing are available, and the conversation about cost is meant to be plain. Membership includes $500 off the Invisalign case fee, not a 20% discount.

How the offices work

The three offices share the same digital workflow, training, and treatment protocols, so a visit in Hilliard is not a different standard than a visit downtown. You still get a plan written for you, and you can ask questions the whole way through.
