In the previous two articles covering how much Invisalign costs we learned how Invisalign gradually straightens your teeth through the use of a series of aligners and how that can lead to higher costs depending on the severity of the malocclusion. We also saw an example of an Express Invisalign procedure and all the associated fees and costs. In this article we’re going to examine how to save money on an Invisalign treatment and how much Invisalign costs after any possible insurance benefits.
When looking to save money on an Invisalign treatment, one thing that you should never compromise is the skill and experience of the dentist. Although, you may pay higher dentist’s fees for a more talented orthodontic professional, you will also get better results from your Invisalign treatment. But many dentists offer regular discounts reducing how much Invisalign costs by a significant amount. Look in your local newspaper for special offers on Invisalign.
Another factor contributing to how much Invisalign costs is the quality of material that the dentist uses when preparing the plastic aligners. Brackets are used to attach the plastic trays to the backs of the teeth and are made of different material. Gilt, sapphire, metal and even ‘wild’ types that produce glowing effects are available. Be sure to speak with your dentist about which type they plan to use on your Invisalign treatment.
Some orthodontic professionals offer special interest free payment plans. They may also offer discounts if the procedure is paid in full or on a credit card. To find out about these special offers ask your dentist during the consultation regarding your Invisalign procedure.
Insurance, as with any medical procedure, is always different depending on the type and amount of coverage. But there are a number of dental insurance packages on the market that cover orthodontic treatments and will help lower how much Invisalign costs. And there are even braces specific insurance, under which Invisalign is covered, that have been reported to pay for up to half of an Invisalign procedure.
If we have learned anything throughout this series it is that short of a consultation with a dentist it is hard to get an exact figure on how much Invisalign will cost. The best an individual interested in Invisalign can hope for is to get a ballpark estimate of the price before going to see the actual dentist. But also remember to speak with your insurance provider and look for any office related discounts before you start your Invisalign treatment routine.
