Cost of Invisalign

Home » Our Blog » Cost of Invisalign

Are you wondering what the cost of Invisalign is? First, we’ll note that Invisalign is affordable with affordable financing from Mill Creek Orthodontics.

At Mill Creek Orthodontics, we make you our priority, providing the best value for every minute and every dollar you spend.

Also, we accept most insurance coverage and will help maximize any benefits you may have. Importantly, that means we will help with often complicated claims and paperwork!

In some cases, insurance could pay up to $3,500. However, the benefits vary widely depending on the plan and your age. Fortunately, with flexible financing, you can move forward without dental insurance.

Also, we offer family and pay-in-full discounts. Even better, we offer a $500 down payment match with monthly payments as low as $179 per month.

As always, our friendly staff is ready to answer all your questions as you consider Invisalign. So please, don’t hesitate to call or text anytime at 434-977-9473.

The National Average Cost for Invisalign

You may be wondering: Are braces more expensive than Invisalign? 

Nationwide, Invisalign and braces tend to cost around the same. According to the Consumer Guide for Dentistry, Invisalign generally costs between $3K to $5K. A similar review from OralB found the average cost between $4K and $7,400.

Why such a difference in cost? It’s because each smile is different, and some people will require less correction than others. Consequently, some people finish a more simple treatment in months, while others require a year or more.

On the other hand, braces tend to cost between $2K to $6K. In this case, the OralB study found the average cost between $3K to $10K for lingual braces. Keep in mind that braces may be required in some advanced cases. Thus, it makes sense the end cost could be a bit higher for some with braces.

Notably, there are many types of modern braces today. Thus, the price depends on which type you choose as well as your unique smile. Of course, the price also depends on your orthodontists and where you live. Sometimes in large cities, the costs tend to be higher.

Treatment is Worth a Lifetime of Smiles

As you can see, there is an investment when you choose orthodontic treatment. However, the result is a perfect smile to show off for life! Along with more smiles and confidence, you can avoid serious health concerns. Considering all the benefits, Invisalign is worth it, which is why over eight million people have benefitted so far.

Of those millions, more and more adults are choosing Invisalign. Today, they are finding out how comfortable and convenient perfecting your smile can be with clear aligners. Not to mention, most people won’t know you’re working on your smile. 

Therefore, people of all ages benefit from Invisalign.

Avoid Serious Health Concerns and Look Amazing

When you correct gaps and misalignments in your teeth and jaw, you can avoid worries like:

  • Bite and jaw pain
  • Problems chewing or speaking
  • Tooth decay and loss
  • Resulting bone loss 
  • A prematurely aged appearance
  • Gum disease and related problems
  • Reluctance to show your smile

So, by choosing to move forward with orthodontic treatment like Invisalign, you’re making a wise choice. It’s why we love what we do because we see what a positive impact it has on our Charlottesville community!

It’s Free to Get Started and Learn More!
