Which Dentist Near Me Offers Invisalign?

If you are searching for a dentist near you who offers Invisalign in the Timonium, Towson or north Baltimore area, Dr. Steven W. Haywood, DDS is an Elite Invisalign Provider at 108 W Timonium Rd, Ste 200, Timonium, MD 21093. Invisalign clear aligners for adults, Invisalign Teen and Invisalign Express are all offered in the same office, along with metal braces for complex cases, so the recommendation you get can follow your teeth rather than a single product.

Finding a provider is only half the question, though. This guide covers what to look for when you choose an Invisalign dentist, what Invisalign treatment involves at the Timonium office, how it compares with traditional braces, and how dental insurance and payment plans work, so you can decide where to book your consultation.

How to find an Invisalign provider near you

Many dental offices list Invisalign, but providers differ in how many cases they treat and how much training they have completed. Invisalign provider ranks, such as Elite, are based on education and volume of experience, so a provider’s rank is one useful signal when you compare practices. Location matters too: clear aligner treatment runs over many months, and a practice close to home or work makes it easier to keep up with your visits.

For people in Timonium, Lutherville-Timonium, Cockeysville, Towson, Hunt Valley and Baltimore, the Timonium office is a short drive, and adults and teens also come for Invisalign from Shrewsbury, PA.

What to look for in an Invisalign dentist

• Experience with clear aligners. Ask how long the dentist has provided Invisalign and at what provider level. Dr. Haywood is an Elite Invisalign Provider with more than 35 years of experience in dentistry.
• More than one way to straighten teeth. An office that offers only aligners may not be the right fit for a case that needs something else. This practice offers Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, Invisalign Express, metal braces and instant orthodontics.
• A real evaluation of your bite. Whether aligners suit your teeth depends on the movement your case needs. That takes an actual look at your teeth, not a guess from a photo.
• Honest talk about wear time. Aligners only work when they are worn. A good provider explains the daily commitment before you start.
• Clear costs and payment options. You should understand the fee for your plan and how you can pay before treatment begins.
• Care for the rest of your smile. Straightening often goes hand in hand with cosmetic or general dental care, so it helps when the same office handles both.

Invisalign at Dr. Haywood’s Timonium office

Invisalign is part of a full-service practice: general, cosmetic and orthodontic care happen in the same Timonium office. Dr. Haywood completed the U.S. Air Force advanced residency program, with internships that included orthodontics, and designs each Invisalign treatment plan around your needs, comfort and budget.

Invisalign for adults

Invisalign clear aligners are custom-fitted trays for the upper and lower teeth, worn in a series to move teeth gradually. They are made of a smooth, BPA-free clear material and can address crowded or crooked teeth, gaps and bite issues.

Invisalign Teen

If you searched for an Invisalign Teen dentist near you, Invisalign Teen is available here. The clear aligners are designed specifically for teenagers, they come out for meals and brushing, and they are built to make tracking progress easy. Invisalign Teen also needs fewer appointments than most traditional treatments.

Invisalign Express

If your teeth need only minor movement, Invisalign Express is a thrifty way to achieve it without a full course of treatment.

Invisalign vs traditional braces

Most adults who put off straightening do so because of how metal braces look and feel. Invisalign aligners are clear and barely noticeable, so orthodontic treatment does not have to be the first thing people notice at work or in photos. There are no brackets cemented to the teeth to irritate your cheeks, and because the aligners come out, food does not get stuck in brackets and you can brush and floss normally, which helps protect your oral health during treatment.

Metal braces still have a place. They are the most economical orthodontic option and suit complex work, including adjusting the bite and function of the teeth. The trade-off with aligners is responsibility: they have to be worn at least 22 hours a day to do their job. Read about all the orthodontic options at the practice.

What happens at your Invisalign consultation

The consultation answers the question you came in with: can clear aligners work for your teeth? That depends on the specific movement your case needs, which only shows up when your teeth and bite are examined. From there, Dr. Haywood talks through your options and a personalized plan, whether that is Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, Invisalign Express or another approach.

It helps to arrive knowing what bothers you about your smile, whether that is crowding, a gap, teeth that have shifted, or a bite that does not feel right, and any questions you have about wear time, timeline or cost.

What Invisalign treatment involves

1. A 3D scan. The iTero Element scanner, used for Invisalign scans at the practice, creates a 3D visual of your teeth in about 2½ minutes, with less tendency toward gagging.
2. Custom clear aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, at least 22 hours a day, and taken out to eat, drink, brush and floss.
3. Gradual movement. Every new set makes small, progressive movements toward a straighter smile.
4. Your timeline. Invisalign treatment can take 18 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. For some patients, AcceleDent Aura, used for 20 minutes a day, can speed up tooth movement.

If dental visits make you anxious, say so when you book. The office is designed to feel spa-like, and sedation dentistry is available for patients who need it.

Does dental insurance cover Invisalign, and are there payment plans?

Insurance coverage for orthodontic treatment varies from plan to plan, so check your own benefits. The practice is out of network with insurance companies. You pay at the time of service, and the office files the claim on your behalf so your plan can reimburse you for whatever it covers. Health savings and flex plans are welcome.

For payment plans, Invisalign can be paid in monthly payments in the office after a down payment. Financing is also available through CareCredit, with no-interest options for up to 12 months, and Cherry, with plans from 3 to 24 months, subject to approval. See financing options.
