If you’ve been dreaming of straighter teeth, but don’t want to affect your whole smile to do it, perhaps Invisalign is the right option for you. Invisalign is another option instead of traditional metal braces. It aids in straightening or aligning your misplaced teeth without having to go through metal wires or brackets! They are custom-made sets of clear plastic aligners that align your teeth into a straighter position. Invisalign completely negates the need to walk around with visible braces on your teeth. However, most patients that shy away from this treatment are typically worried about the price of this treatment. Check out the breakdown of costs below.

Typical Expenses

As mentioned above, Invisalign can offer an alternative to wearing metal braces.  Both  traditional braces and Invisalign can cost anywhere from $2500-$8000 for the entire treatment. These price ranges, of course, depend on a ton of variables. The price can fluctuate depending on the dentist's location, experience level, their costs, and much more.

Your dentist or orthodontist can give you their estimate of their overall cost of getting Invisalign. Talk to your dentist about their cost for this treatment and the financing options available.

Are They Worth the Price?

Invisalign is a replacement for the traditional look of metal braces. Although they may come at a high cost, the quality and overall process of this treatment is well worth the investment. Traditional braces are extremely obvious and can affect your overall look, while the invisible look of Invisalign can conceal the treatment with the clear plastic trays.

Investing in essentially “clear” braces can help you feel more confident about going through the treatment process. You can feel confident knowing that this treatment is virtually invisible and won’t show up in photos or other important special events in your life. They perform the exact same quality, if not better, then the traditional version of braces. These are precisely tailored to your teeth and can be adjusted to give you the straight smile you’ve been dreaming of.

Another great advantage of Invisalign? They allow you to remove them while eating, which means, you don’t have to restrict your diet to only things that won’t get stuck in your metal wires! This gives every patient the freedom to stick to their normal diet without worrying if food is getting stuck in their metal wires.

Though from the outside, it may seem that Invisalign is an expensive treatment option for straighter teeth, it is worth the investment if you’re worried about the aesthetics of your smile with the traditional metal braces! In hindsight, the average price for Invisalign can sometimes only be slightly more than the traditional form of braces. Plus, many of the costs will be different on a case-by-case basis. You can narrow your search for a cheaper option if you’re looking for low costs. Many dental professionals will offer easy to pay monthly payments to offset the overall cost. This can make paying for your Invisalign much easier!
