Orthodontics Without the Commute
Why Lawrence County Patients Do Not Have to Leave Town for This
Invisalign in Bedford, IN is clear aligner treatment: a sequence of custom, removable trays that move your teeth a little at a time, mapped out from a digital scan before the first tray is ever made. You wear each tray, change to the next on schedule, and come into the Dental Drive office periodically so we can confirm everything is tracking to plan.
The part worth saying plainly is where it happens. Bedford is the Lawrence County seat, and for a lot of specialty care the assumption around here is that you drive — north toward Bloomington, or the better part of an hour and a half up to Indianapolis. For a single appointment that is an inconvenience. For orthodontic treatment, which runs months and involves a string of check-ins, it becomes the reason people put it off for another year.
Three dentists practice at this office: Dr. Ben Mohrman, Dr. Jefferson Dai and Dr. Kristin Neal. For a town this size that is an unusual amount of clinical depth in one building, and it is why aligner cases here get planned and finished here rather than referred out of the county.
Bloom Dental is doctor-owned and doctor-led, founded by a dentist in 2019 and expanded by dentists since. More on how we approach Invisalign across all seven of our Indiana offices.
What Actually Happens
From First Scan to Final Retainer
The whole sequence, in order, with nothing glossed over.
Consultation and digital scan
We look at your bite and take a digital scan. We also ask what is actually bothering you, because the answer changes the plan. Wanting the front teeth straight and having a bite that is wearing enamel are two different cases.
The plan, in writing
Projected movement, tray count, timeline and cost, with your verified insurance benefit applied, before you agree to anything. Nothing about the number changes after you say yes.
Wearing the trays
Aligners have to be in your mouth the great majority of the day to do anything. They come out to eat and to brush. This is the single biggest factor in whether treatment finishes on schedule, and we say so up front rather than at the end.
Progress checks in Bedford
You come in periodically so we can confirm the teeth are moving where the plan predicted. Teeth do not always cooperate on schedule. Catching a lagging tooth early costs far less than finding it at the end.
Retainers
Teeth drift back if nothing holds them. Retainers are not an upsell tacked on at the end, they are how the result survives. We fit yours when active treatment finishes and tell you exactly how much wear it needs.
When braces are the better answer
Clear aligners do not suit every case. Some rotations and some bite corrections are handled better with fixed braces. If yours is one of them we will say so at the consultation, rather than start you down a road that will not get you there.
Why This Office
Six Reasons Bedford Patients Choose Bloom Dental for Invisalign
The whole course stays local
Scan, plan, trays, checks and retainer, all on Dental Drive. No standing appointment in another county for the next year and a half.
Three dentists in one building
Dr. Mohrman, Dr. Dai and Dr. Neal all practice here. Unusual depth for a town Bedford’s size, and the reason complex work does not get sent away.
The same technology as the city offices
Digital scanning, CBCT imaging and digital smile design are shared across all seven Bloom Dental locations. Bedford is not running a decade behind Indianapolis.
Dentists own it
Founded in 2019 by a dentist and grown by dentists. Treatment decisions sit with the doctor treating you rather than with an investor group.
A second opinion built in
Our doctors review cases together across locations every week. If your case has a wrinkle, more than one dentist looks at it before the plan is finalized.
A route if you are uninsured
We take most major carriers, and there is a Bloom Dental membership program for patients without dental coverage. Ask before you assume the answer is no.

Insurance, Membership and What Treatment Will Cost
Bloom Dental accepts most major carriers, including Delta Dental, Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, DentaQuest and AlwaysCare. Many plans treat clear aligners as an orthodontic benefit, which usually pays a share of treatment rather than all of it. We verify your specific benefit before treatment starts, so the number you are quoted is the number you pay. If you do not carry dental insurance, ask about the membership program.
Common Questions
Invisalign Questions from Bedford and Lawrence County Patients
Do I have to drive to Bloomington or Indianapolis for Invisalign?
No. Clear aligner treatment is planned and managed at our Dental Drive office here in Bedford. The digital scan, the treatment plan and every progress check happen in Lawrence County. That matters over a course of treatment that runs months, because a plan that looks convenient at the start stops being convenient when it means an hour of driving for a fifteen minute appointment.
How much does Invisalign cost in Bedford, IN?
It depends on how far your teeth need to move and how many trays your plan calls for, so we do not quote a figure before we look. At the consultation we scan your teeth, build the plan, and give you the cost in writing with your verified insurance benefit already applied. If you do not carry dental insurance, ask about the Bloom Dental membership program.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most cases land somewhere between six months and two years. The spread is that wide because the tray count is set by how much movement your bite actually needs, and correcting how the back teeth meet takes considerably longer than straightening a few front teeth. You get an estimated timeline at the consultation, before you commit.
Why does the Bedford office have three dentists?
Dr. Ben Mohrman, Dr. Jefferson Dai and Dr. Kristin Neal all practice here. For a town the size of Bedford that is unusual, and it is the reason complex cases do not get referred out of the county. Bloom Dental doctors also review cases together across all seven Indiana offices every week, so a case with a wrinkle in it gets more than one opinion before a plan is finalized.
Will my insurance cover Invisalign?
Many plans cover clear aligners under an orthodontic benefit, which typically pays a share rather than the whole treatment, and some carry a lifetime maximum. Bloom Dental accepts most major carriers including Delta Dental, Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, DentaQuest and AlwaysCare. We verify your specific benefit before treatment starts.
Can adults start orthodontic treatment later in life?
Yes. A good share of clear aligner patients are adults who either never had braces or had them as teenagers and stopped wearing the retainer. Teeth keep moving throughout life, so drifting is normal rather than a sign you did something wrong. What matters clinically is the health of your gums and the bone supporting the teeth, which we check before recommending treatment.
What happens when treatment is finished?
You move into retainers, and that part is not optional. Teeth drift back toward where they started if nothing holds them, which is the most common reason people are unhappy years after finishing orthodontic work. We fit the retainer at the end of active treatment and tell you plainly how much wear it needs.
