Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces for people who are looking to straighten their teeth. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign uses clear aligners that are practically invisible when worn.
Another desirable benefit is that Invisalign aligners are also removable, which means that patients can continue to eat all of their favorite foods and brush and floss their teeth with ease.
Additionally, these aligners are widely considered more comfortable to wear and can be easily taken out for special occasions. Did you know we keep the overall cost of Invisalign the same as our braces? Many patients find that the convenience and comfort of Invisalign are well worth the investment.
While many individuals may prefer Invisalign over metal braces, we do understand that initial costs can become a barrier for many. At Henry Advanced Orthodontics, we provide a range of financing options with zero interest, to help make this treatment more accessible for our patients.
We are also happy to submit to your dental insurance policy if you are eligible for orthodontic benefits.
How Much Does Invisalign Typically Cost?
Without any dental insurance, Invisalign’s cost could range from anywhere between $4,000and to $8,000 USD. This can be determined through a variety of factors, but the most constant one is the additional lab fees necessary to create custom aligners that are not found with traditional metal braces.
Another major factor to account for is the course of your treatment. If you need more than 18 months of wearing Invisalign, for example, this will require more aligners, and thus more lab fees.
The aligners are clear, discreet, and easily removable. You can take them out of your mouth to eat, drink, brush your teeth, and for any other situation where you may not want to wear them.
Zero-Percent Interest
Henry Advanced Orthodontics began with a mission to provide the residents of St. Augustine and surrounding communities with the most caring and professional orthodontic treatment possible. We are not a money-lending institution and we do not aim to behave like one.
Instead, we strive to honor your decision to invest in the health and appearance of your teeth. Our in-house financing options for Invisalign are at zero-percent interest with no hidden fees that will arise after signing your agreement.
Financing Past the Treatment Timeline
Depending on your individual set of teeth, your Invisalign treatment could take anywhere from 6 to almost 24 months to complete. Initially, a down payment will be made to cover the lab cost of fabricating your aligners. Once you begin, you will start making monthly payments as part of the financing agreement.
Typically, these payments are calculated by dividing the total cost of the treatment by the number of estimated months it will take to complete. We do understand that this monthly figure might still prove too high for some people’s budgets and we would not want you to sacrifice paying for other necessities in life for your Invisalign treatment.
In many cases, our financial team has been able to extend the payments for Invisalign past the course of the treatment itself. This can help further lower the monthly figure and not cause any interruption in receiving the care you need.
What if My Insurance Covers Only Part of Invisalign?
While most dental insurance companies will cover orthodontics, many will only pay a lifetime maximum toward orthodontic treatment. This can result in the patient having to furnish the remaining costs for their treatment.
For insurance providers that do include orthodontic treatment, and specifically Invisalign, they may only agree to cover a portion of the costs. We will work with you to determine the remaining expenses after reimbursement and work out a financing situation that works best for your specific needs.
Prior to scheduling a consultation for Invisalign, we recommend reviewing your dental insurance provider’s policy on orthodontic treatments. They may also have a clause related to Invisalign in particular. This can help provide you with a general idea of how much coverage you will receive and whether you need to discuss financing with us before beginning your Invisalign journey.
