When thinking about getting orthodontic treatment, one of the most common questions is about the cost of Invisalign. Understanding the different factors that contribute to the pricing can help you make an informed decision.
Avoid DIY Treatments Firstly, it is advisable to steer clear of “do-it-yourself” clear aligner treatments at home, even though the cost may be lower. We often encounter patients at Happier Smiles Orthodontics who have experienced additional damage to their teeth after using DIY clear aligners on their own. These DIY products lack professional oversight during the creation of the treatment plan, leading to potential risks and complications.
Comparing Costs with Traditional Braces Traditionally, metal braces have been less expensive than clear aligners. This difference is primarily due to the additional lab fees associated with clear aligners to custom print and design each tray. At Happier Smiles Orthodontics, we make the price comparable with braces & aligners and there is not a huge difference between the two options.Â
What Factors Influence the Cost of Aligner Treatment? Several factors can influence the price of Invisalign treatment:
- Complexity of the Case: More complex cases, like severe crowding or bite issues, may require more aligners & detailed intricate planning increasing costs. In addition, you may need more aligners which means you have a longer treatment time.
Insurance and Financing Options At Happier Smiles Orthodontics, we understand that cost is a significant consideration for our patients. We happily accept and file all private insurances with orthodontic coverage, including providers like Delta Dental, United Concordia, MetLife, and Cigna. We offer flexible third-party financing through CareCredit, which allows for convenient payment options without demanding any upfront payment. Additionally, we provide affordable monthly payment plans tailored to fit your financial situation.
Choosing the Right Orthodontic Provider While price shopping might be tempting, it is essential to prioritize quality and safety in healthcare, particularly in orthodontics. Remember, you only get one set of adult teeth; risking potential damage to your roots and bone structure is not worth the minor savings.
