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. We don’t want anything preventing you from getting the perfect smile you deserve. Therefore, we offer options to get started, including no down payment an no interest.

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

Invisalign is Affordable at Mill Creek Orthodontics

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 at434-977-9473.

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!

Girl Smiling with Braces
Anju G.
I cannot recommend Mill Creek Orthodontist highly enough! I came in with a very uncomfortable teeth situation and bite issues caused by stress, and it was really affecting my daily life. From start to finish, the care, attention, and expertise I received were exceptional. My bite is now completely corrected, and I feel so much relief and confidence. The whole treatment process was smooth, and the team made every visit comfortable and reassuring. Truly life-changing results. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Anju, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, this absolutely means more than we can say. We know how much bite issues and discomfort can impact your everyday life, so hearing that you’re now feeling relief and confidence again is incredibly rewarding for our entire team, and it truly encapsulates our "Free to Be" motto.

It’s especially meaningful to know that you felt supported and at ease throughout your visits. Creating a smooth, reassuring experience is just as important to us as achieving great results, and we’re so glad that came through during your treatment.

Your transformation is exactly why we love what we do—helping patients move from discomfort to confidence is everything. Thank you for trusting us with your smile and your journey. We’re so happy to have been a part of something that made such a difference for you!
Jennifer
I can’t recommend Mill Creek orthodontics highly enough. From the very first visit, the entire team is welcoming, professional, and truly cares about your experience. They go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.

What really stands out is their attention to detail and commitment to results. They don’t just aim for improvement, they make sure your teeth come out looking perfect. You can tell they take pride in their work and genuinely want you to be happy with your smile.

If you’re looking for an orthodontist who combines expertise, kindness, and exceptional results, this is the place to go.
Response from the owner:Jennifer, thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review! It truly means a lot to our entire team! We love that you highlighted both the experience and the results, because that’s exactly what we strive for every single day.

From your very first visit to your final smile, our goal is to make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Hearing that our attention to detail and commitment to getting your smile just right stood out to you is the highest compliment we could receive.

We’re so grateful you trusted us with your smile and noticed the pride we put into our work. Thank you for being such a valued part of our MCO family!
Faith C.
My family have been coming here for years! First my daughter, then my son, now me! The doc is smart, kind, and a prefectionist. His staff are always smiling and helpful - they even offer ice cream after each appt to help with any new-adjustment pain. Because my children had such a great experience (and beautiful smiles), I was inspired to make some corrections for myself. I could not be happier! Braces can be expensive and a big investment, so if you're looking for the best care and the best smile, this is the place!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words, Faith! We have loved working with you and your family and are so glad that you all love your smiles! - Dr. Markus and the team
Taylor L.
Have had a great experience! The staff was always friendly and made appointments easy with my busy schedule. Highly recommend!
R&C G.
Mill Creek Orthodontics and their amazing Dr Markus Niepraschk are an outstanding choice for orthodontics and braces. I shopped around extensively, and compared a number of factors, before deciding on Mill Creek Orthodontics. I was so happy with what I found, so happy that subsequently all three of our children have gotten braces from Mill Creek Orthodontics.

This is what I found:
•the most competitive prices on the market
for braces
•a staff that has always been friendly, smiling and helpful
•clear and consistent communication at all times
•Dr Markus especially is a very creative problem solver. Whether it comes to your treatment or facilitating making the entire process possible, he is committed to finding solutions that will work.

I’ve been visiting the Mill Creek office for over five years straight, on an average of probably once a month, and can truly say that I have never once had a complaint, not been completely satisfied with the service, or left the office without feeling grateful that this was the orthodontist we decided to get our three kids’ braces from.

Thank you Mill Creek Orthodontics and Dr. Markus. We are grateful and hope you’ll have many more prosperous years ahead.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We are truly honored that you chose Mill Creek Orthodontics after doing such careful research, and it means the world to us that you trusted Dr. Markus Niepraschk and our team with the orthodontic care of all three of your children.

Hearing that your family has had such a positive experience over the past five years is incredibly rewarding. Our team works hard to create a welcoming environment, provide clear communication, and make every patient feel comfortable and cared for at each visit. Your recognition of Dr. Markus’s dedication to creative problem-solving and personalized treatment means a great deal to us.

Thank you for your continued trust and for being such a wonderful part of our Mill Creek Orthodontics family. We look forward to many more visits and to seeing even more great smiles from your family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO Team!
Emily M.
I really enjoyed my time as a patient with Mill Creek! I am so happy I chose Mill Creek. Dr. Marcus did a phenomenal job and had excellent attention to detail with my teeth. Additionally, Becca, Brooks, and Kirsten were always so welcoming and helpful. I also want to shout out Lillie who changed my bands often and removed my braces. She is phenomenal as well. :-)

Other pros: The pricing and treatment plans are very transparent. Appointments are efficient and quick. Communication is great.
Response from the owner:Aww Emily, Thank you so much for your kind words!
We are truly honored that you chose Mill Creek for your smile journey. It means the world to us to hear how happy you are with your experience and your results! Dr. Marcus takes so much pride in his attention to detail, and we know he will be thrilled to hear your feedback. We’ll also be sure to share your sweet shoutouts with Becca, Brooks, Kirsten, and Lillie, as they will absolutely love hearing this! We’re so glad you felt supported, informed, and cared for every step of the way. Transparency, efficiency, and great communication are all things we strive for, so knowing that stood out to you is incredibly rewarding.

Thank you again for trusting us with your smile, and we’re so proud to have been part of your journey!
Lu S.
I am so pleased with Mill Creek Orthodontics! I began Invisilign with Mill Creek right before the Pandemic. In 2025, I needed some new retainers made, so I went back to Mill Creek Orthodontics and we just picked up, both in friendliness and professionalism, where we left off! I wouldn’t trust my newly straightened teeth to anyone else!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Lu for your kind words! It means a lot that you came back to us for your retainers and trusted us again with your smile. We’re so glad to hear your experience felt just as friendly and professional as before. Enjoy your beautifully straight smile and we’re always here if you need us! - Dr Markus and the MCO Team!
Amber D.
Just recently got my braces off and I love the outcome! They did an amazing job, 100% recommend going to them!

You’ve been such a pleasure to work with throughout your braces journey, and we absolutely love that you shared your own photos… your smile says it all! Thank you for trusting us and for the recommendation, it truly means so much to our team.
