Orthodontic treatment has changed over the years and is now available in more discreet forms like Invisalign® clear aligners. The idea of starting Invisalign treatment may fit your smile goals, but does it fit your budget? Our Sparta and Grand Rapids Invisalign orthodontists offer flexible payment plans and can work with you to make your dream smile a reality.
Here’s what you need to know about the and how our team at Miller Orthodontics can help.
What Is the National Average Cost of Invisalign?
According to the official Invisalign website, the can range from $3,000 to $7,000 for teens and up to $9,000 for adult orthodontic patients. This compares to the national average which is about $3,000-$5,000.
Of course, it’s important to remember that your overall payment will depend on your individual oral health needs and portion covered by insurance.
A few ways you can save on Invisalign include:
- Flexible spending accounts (FSA)
- Health savings accounts (HSA)
- A personalized monthly payment plan or another form of financing
Staff at our Grand Rapids and Sparta, MI, orthodontics office want you to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Because of this, we’re committed to developing a custom payment plan that works with your budget and helps you stay on track throughout Invisalign treatment.
What Factors Affect the Cost of Invisalign?
Like with traditional metal braces or any other type of orthodontic treatment, how much you pay for Invisalign may vary. That’s because no patient is the same. Specific bite issues, degree to which teeth are misaligned, and treatment length all affect the end cost.
The amount that your dental insurance plan is willing to cover will also determine the sum you’re responsible for with regards to custom clear aligners. Some patients qualify for up to $3,000 in assistance from their insurance company but your situation may differ. Be sure to check with your insurance provider so you’re aware of how you’re covered.
