How Invisalign Works
The first step of Invisalign treatment is a consultation. Dr. Markovits or Dr. Abel will speak with you about your smile goals and examine your mouth. Then, we’ll take a digital impression to build a 3D model to walk you through each step of your treatment process, from your very first aligner to your last one. Every six to eight weeks, you’ll visit our dental office for a quick progress check and to collect the next series of trays in your treatment until you’ve achieved your final goal.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign treatment offers a wide array of benefits, including:
- Customized aligners for more comfortable treatment
- Eat all your favorite foods without worrying about breaking your orthodontic appliance
- Shorter average treatment times around eight to 14 months
- Can address a wide array of orthodontic issues ranging from mild to moderate in severity
- Easier to maintain good oral health throughout your treatment
- Shorter follow-up appointments
Understanding the Cost of Invisalign
While there are several dental treatments that have a flat fee, Invisalign is not one of them. That’s because factors that are unique to the patient need to be considered, including how complex their case is. The good news is that our team at Maple Dental can help you pinpoint the price – simply schedule a consultation, and we’ll take it from there! If you want to learn more about the cost of Invisalign in the meantime, then you can also keep reading.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Invisalign
As we mentioned in the previous section, the only way we can provide you with an accurate estimate of the cost is if we can take X-rays, conduct an exam, and learn more about your smile goals. This will give us valuable insight into how many trays you’ll need and if other orthodontic accessories, like rubber bands, should be added to your treatment plan.
It’s important that we also mention that what you do after your treatment begins also impacts the cost. For example, if you consistently misplace your aligners, then you may need to invest more time and money into your treatment.
Invisalign vs. Smile Direct Club™: Which Costs More?
Mail-order aligner companies are generally cheaper in both price and experience. In other words, these alternatives cut costs by cutting corners, like asking patients to take DIY impressions. Unfortunately, this can lead to numerous complications, like patients experiencing worsened misalignment and even loose teeth! That’s why you shouldn’t let the lower upfront price make the decision for you. Instead, choose a professional orthodontic treatment that has decades of experience helping patients achieve healthy, more beautiful smiles.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?
Not always. With that said, there are some dental plans that include a once-in-a-lifetime benefit. While this benefit doesn’t renew, it can cover upwards of 50% of the cost of your Invisalign treatment, so it’s definitely worth looking into. To do so, you can read through your benefits, give your provider a call on their helpline, or ask our team for help. We can help you understand your coverage as well as file the claim so you get the maximum reimbursement.
Options for Making Invisalign Affordable
If you are uninsured, don’t worry – you don’t have to pay for the entire cost of Invisalign in one lump sum. Our team welcomes CareCredit, which is a third-party financier that offers several payment plans. So, it’s very likely that they’ll have one that suits your monthly budget, especially since there are several with little-to-no interest attached. This financial option is also convenient because signing up only takes a few minutes!
