Cost

After learning about all the benefits and workings of Invisalign® clear aligners, you’re likely wondering a few things: Does Invisalign work? How much do Invisalign braces cost? Is Invisalign covered by insurance?

Let’s dive a little deeper into each of these topics.

The short answer to that question is a resounding yes! Invisalign clear aligners, when placed and monitored by a professionally trained and educated orthodontist, have been shown to provide many patients with straighter teeth, boosted confidence, and an enhanced ability to clean and care for their teeth.

If you’re also wondering “how long does Invisalign take?” the average period of time these clear braces tend to be worn varies. Every person and every mouth is different. You could only need 12 months of treatment, while someone else could need them for 24 months.

The process of straightening teeth is one that should only be trusted to a professional. Don’t waste your time and money on a smile direct club near you. Invisalign trays will get you the results you want in a safe and stable way.

It can be difficult to know the exact pricing on things as subjective as Invisalign and traditional braces. How long your treatment is will make a difference in the cost, not to mention what type of work needs to be done.

The making and manufacturing of both also influences the cost. Making completely new trays for your mouth every couple of weeks, for example, is going to be a different cost than placing a new wire every couple of weeks. However, you may need more repairs with your metal braces than you would with Invisalign clear braces.

The best way to know what Invisalign clear braces vs. traditional braces will cost is to come see the doctors at Compassionate Dental Care for a free consultation. As a potential patient, you’ll need to take some time to consider which option best suits your needs.

In terms of physical aesthetic during your straightening treatment, most patients prefer Invisalign clear braces over traditional.

For example, if you are an adult working a high-profile job that requires you to be working with clients or front-facing for the media, or you have a teenager with self-confidence issues, braces might not be the best option. Invisalign clear braces can straighten your teeth quickly and efficiently without you having to bear any sort of backlash about your appearance.

It’s a fact of this life that we pay attention to appearances and how others, including ourselves, look. Invisalign aligners can make the necessity of having your teeth straightened just that much easier to bear. You also don’t have to deal with the uncomfortable and often painful experience that can accompany traditional metal braces.

Smile Direct Club and many other mail-order retainer companies like it offer prices that might seem unbeatable. The issue with this form of treatment is that you aren’t being directed or supervised by an orthodontic professional who can spot issues that can be avoided.

If you go ahead with this seemingly miraculous and cheap treatment, you might just find yourself in need of thousands of dollars of dental and orthodontic repair by the time you finish. Many Invisalign dentists have had patients come to them in need of a completely new treatment after mail-order aligners made their smile worse, rather than better.

Looking for more solid numbers on what Invisalign aligners could cost you? Call Compassionate Dental Care today for your FREE Invisalign consultation. Because the cost of Invisalign clear aligners varies depending on your individual smile needs, we can’t give you an exact number until we see your teeth.

Of course there are always options to consider that could lower that price, such as what the Invisalign cost with insurance would be. A health savings account (HSA) could also help you finance this treatment.

But remember an Invisalign treatment is about more than just the dollar figure attached to straightening your teeth. When you straighten your teeth with Invisalign aligners you’re also paying for the confidence of having a better smile without the awkward metal wires to get there. You’re investing in a future with better oral hygiene and a life of more smiles.
