Invisalign offers subtlety in orthodontic treatment, and that’s worth a lot — but just how much are you willing to spend on clear braces? The initial cost of Invisalign can make some patients wary, but we always advise considering the significant benefits of this treatment before deciding against it. Plus, dental insurance can sometimes offer a little help, too. Keep reading to find out more about the real cost of Invisalign.
The Cost-Savings Benefits of Invisalign
There is no denying the fact that Invisalign costs more than traditional braces. And sometimes, the price difference is pretty significant. After further consideration, though, we can see that there are some benefits that may make Invisalign a cheaper option than you would first guess. We have listed just a few of the ways that this clear braces method can actually help you save over the long-term below. Which one would you appreciate most?
Fewer Visits to the Orthodontist
Traditional braces require an appointment with your orthodontist every three or four weeks — visits that eat through your time and your budget. With Invisalign, however, you only need to come into our office once every six weeks. It’s a largely self-directed treatment, meaning you take the reins and just come in periodically so we can make sure everything is progressing like it should. Fewer visits to the dentist mean big savings overall!
Easier Oral Hygiene
Because you remove Invisalign to brush and floss, you won’t have to learn any special techniques to maneuver around fixed brackets and wires. That helps your teeth and gums stay cleaner and healthier over the long-haul, so when the treatment is complete you won’t have to worry about treating expensive cavities or gum disease that developed as a result of fixed braces.
Fewer Repairs
Removable aligners also allow you to continue eating your favorite foods without concern that you will pop off a wire or a bracket. Simply slip out the trays before you eat and feel good knowing the chances you will have to visit the dentist for a (costly) repair visit are drastically reduced with Invisalign clear braces.
Added Convenience
In general, the convenience of Invisalign makes it a wonderful choice for adult patients who are looking to straighten their teeth without the hassle of fixed braces. Invisalign’s removability, subtlety, and comfort all add up to one great investment in your smile.
Can Dental Insurance Help?
We have even more encouraging news about the cost of Invisalign. If your insurance plan covers a portion orthodontic treatment, the chances are excellent that you can benefit from savings with Invisalign, too! Our office can perform a verification of benefits to find out just what your dental insurance plan covers. If Invisalign is included, we recommend getting started right away! We know you’ll appreciate saving big on this wonderful orthodontic treatment.
