Invisalign costs range from $1,800 to $9,500, depending on the complexity of the problem. The average cost for a teenager is $3,000. A typical adult would spend $5,700 for a treatment. These averages compare to $3,000 to $7,000 for traditional wire-and-bracket braces. So, your Invisalign cost may or may not equal what you would pay for traditional braces, depending on your individual needs and treatment plan.
If you have insurance, ask your benefits manager or insurance provider what your benefits are for orthodontic treatments. When evaluating different providers, ask what coverage they accept.
Invisalign is easy, painless and quick. Braces require at least the same length of time as Invisalign aligners to straighten teeth. In most cases, braces take longer to move the teeth into the ideal positions. Invisalign is a non-invasive procedure that proves more comfortable than other options. Thanks to the use of 3D digital scans, it is no longer necessary to take traditional tooth impressions. This is fantastic news for those who have a considerable strong gag reaction. Furthermore, digital imaging is not as intrusive as traditional X-rays. The icing on the cake is the use of computer-aided design (CAD) dental technology creates an open environment that combats claustrophobia.
Many orthodontists will advise that Invisalign treatment can take between 6 - 12 months or more, depending on your case. There's no one-size-fits-all for determining how long your treatment will last. That's because every patient will have their own individual tooth alignment issues.
As a rule of thumb, adults tend to wear aligners for longer than teenagers. That's because teenager's teeth are easier to move and more responsive to treatment. On the other hand, adults tend to have more complex cases and less responsive jaws and teeth. That means treatment can take a little longer.
