One of the first things people think of when they think of Invisalign is the cost. We know cost is a big part of your decision at Dentistry on the Pines and we want to make sure you know what to expect. In Vaughan, the cost of Invisalign is between $5,000 and $7,000 but your cost may be more or less depending on what you need.
The cost range is because every case is different. Some people just need simple changes to straighten a few teeth or fill small gaps. These easier cases need fewer aligners and less time in treatment which keeps the cost down. Some patients have more complex issues like a lot of crowding, big gaps or biting concerns that need a lot of fixing. These patients need more complex issues, like a lot of crowding, big gaps or biting concerns that need a lot of fixing. These patients need more aligners and more time in treatment which of course increases the total cost. When you come in for your appointment we take a good look at your teeth and give you a good idea of what your treatment will cost.
Your total treatment cost is directly affected by how long it takes. Most people who use Invisalign wear their aligners for 12 to 18 months. Some people complete in as little as 6 months while others need 2 years or more. The longer your treatment takes the more aligners you will need which will change the total cost. The cost of each set of aligners increases significantly over the course of treatment because they are made just for your teeth. We create a detailed treatment plan that shows you exactly how many aligners you will need and how long the process will take. This way you can track where your money is going.
The amount you pay out of pocket can vary greatly depending on your insurance. Many dental insurance plans that cover orthodontics will pay for part of the cost of Invisalign treatment. The amount of coverage varies from plan to plan but it’s usually between $1,000 and $2,000 and sometimes more. Some plans cover Invisalign at the same rate as regular braces and others may cover it at a different rate. We work directly with insurance companies to help you understand your benefits and get the most out of your plan. You don’t have to deal with the paperwork and claims on your own because our administrative team does it all for you.
We offer payment plans that make Invisalign more affordable for those who don’t have insurance or whose insurance doesn’t cover the full cost. You don’t have to pay the whole thing before you start treatment. We can instead set up monthly payments that fit your budget. Many patients like this method because they can start fixing their smile right away instead of having to wait until they’ve saved up the full cost.
The length of your Invisalign treatment may also affect the price. For example you can choose full treatment or a shorter one like Invisalign Express. Express treatments are cheaper because they use fewer aligners and are for small changes. These short treatments however are only good for some situations. During your appointment we can figure out if you need the full treatment plan or if a shorter one will work for you.
Invisalign is more than just an investment in straightening your teeth. This treatment is more convenient, comfortable and confident than traditional braces. As part of our Family Dentistry services at Dentistry on the Pines we have seen how Invisalign changes not only smiles but also how people feel about themselves. It’s easier to keep your mouth healthy during treatment when you can take off your aligners to eat and clean. This link to Dental Hygiene is important because having clean teeth and healthy gums can help treatment work better overall.
