Crowded Teeth

Teeth that overlap aren’t just aesthetically unappealing; they also can increase your risk of developing cavities and gum disease. Fortunately, Invisalign can be used to move crowded teeth back into their properly aligned, healthy positions.

Gaps Between Teeth

Spaced-out teeth are another common orthodontic issue that Invisalign can correct! With the clear aligners, your teeth will gradually move together, improving the look, function, and health of your smile in the process.

Bite Alignment

The alignment of your bite impacts more than you might think, including your chewing and speaking patterns. So, if you’re struggling with an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or something similar, then don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation to find out if Invisalign is right for you.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Invisalign

The final price of Invisalign will vary depending on a number of factors, such as:

• The Number of Arches Being Straightened: Most Invisalign treatments involve both the upper and lower arches of teeth, but sometimes only one arch needs to be straightened. Single-arch treatments typically carry a lower cost.
• The Complexity of Your Case: More complex orthodontic issues tend to be more costly to treat. For example, you’ll likely have to pay more to straighten multiple severely crooked teeth than you would to close a small gap in your smile.
• How Long the Treatment Lasts: Longer treatments naturally require more Invisalign aligners, which adds to the overall cost.
• Patient Compliance: You’ll need to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours every day. If you don’t, your treatment may take longer than necessary, and this can affect the overall price.

Invisalign vs. On-Demand Aligners: Which Costs More?

Many companies offer do-it-yourself clear aligners that typically cost a little under $2,000. Meanwhile, Invisalign can cost around $6,000. But while on-demand aligners through an app may have a lower price tag, they involve little to no professional oversight. If anything goes wrong, it might not be caught until serious damage has been done to your smile. Invisalign gives you the peace of mind of knowing that an expert is keeping an eye on your progress to maximize your chances of success.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?

Not every dental insurance plan handles Invisalign the same way. Sometimes it’s not covered at all, but in other cases, it might be included under your orthodontic benefits. We recommend calling your dental insurance company to confirm the details of your plan. Our team can always review your coverage with you if there’s anything you don’t understand. If your insurance is willing to help pay for Invisalign treatment, we will file the necessary claims for you.
