Factors Affecting Invisalign Cost

Every case is unique, and your treatment goals will vary from another person’s. Other factors include:

● How complex your case is.

● How long your treatment will take.

● How many aligners are needed.

● If you need attachments and / or interproximal contouring

● The amount of time your orthodontist spends with you, including all appointments.

Some cases are simple and straightforward and take a minimum amount of time to reach your goal, while more severe cases include more follow-up appointments, lengthier treatment durations, and multiple aligner trays.

Let’s look at how we classify cases and how the cost of Invisalign is figured.

Basic Invisalign Treatment

Basic Invisalign treatment corrects minor bite issues or small misalignments in your teeth. This is a Level 1 treatment that requires minimal procedures to straighten your teeth. We can usually accomplish this in less than 9 months, we do not need any attachments or interproximal contouring. The cost will usually run from $2,499 to $3,900.

Moderate Invisalign Treatment

Moderate misalignments are categorized as a Level 2 case needing mild Invisalign treatment. You’d need just a little more treatment than our basic Invisalign, and it could take more than a year but less than eighteen months. These cases can involve some attachments and / or interproximal contouring but no elastics for bite correction. This could cost anywhere from $3,900 to $5,600.

Advanced Invisalign Treatment

Complex cases will need Level 3 treatment. Advanced Invisalign treatment includes attachments, interproximal contouring, buttons and elastics. These cases are generally 18 months or longer. This means more aligners, more office visits. Advanced treatment can cost from $5,700 to $6,800.

During our initial assessment, we’ll be able to give you an idea of whether your case is basic, mild, or advanced. That will help us determine just how long your treatment will take, as well as how much your Invisalign treatment will cost. .

Does Invisalign Cost More Than Braces?

Many orthodontists tack on an additional premium when patients choose Invisalign over braces. This premium could be up to $1,500 in addition to the normal cost of Invisalign. Because of our elite provider status with Invisalign, we actually receive a discount for the Invisalign lab. We take our discount and subtract it from your Invisalign cost, which means it costs nearly the same for Invisalign and traditional metal braces in our office. Imagine, you can get a better alternative to braces for the same price at TLC for Smiles in Granada Hills!

Will Insurance Pay for Invisalign?

Some of our Los Angeles patients have dental insurance that will cover braces. The vast majority of dental insurance plans allow us to bill invisalign equally as braces. So in almost 100% of the time, insurance pays for invisalign exactly the same as braces.

Many of our patients have also used their FSA or Flexible Spending Account. This allows them to use their pretax dollars to pay for their Invisalign treatment costs.

Payment Plans

At TLC for Smiles, most of our customers qualify for our in-house payment plan which offers a flexible down payment and monthly payments with zero percent interest. Additionally, our office offers Care Credit financing when people prefer extended payment plans longer than 24 months.

The bottom line is that we want accessible Invisalign treatment for everyone who walks through our Granada Hills TLC for Smiles office If you’re having problems figuring out how to pay for Invisalign, talk with our office about how our flexible payment plans might benefit you.
