The price of a full set of Invisalign varies widely. Some factors that contribute to the cost of a full set of Invisalign aligners include:
 
– Your dental health and how much work you need completed
– The location of the dental clinic and average prices in the region
– The dentist’s time and labor in providing Invisalign treatment
– The portion your insurance provider will cover
 
For example, patients with especially crooked teeth or a misaligned bite will need extra treatment to correct their dental health issues. Invisalign aligners put constant, yet gentle pressure on your teeth until they are brought into proper alignment. As such, the farther your teeth need to move, the longer your Invisalign treatment will take.
 
Moreover, during your Invisalign treatment, you will switch out aligner trays every two weeks. Each aligner tray will slowly guide your teeth more and more into correct alignment. Thus, the cost of Invisalign increases the longer you need them because more aligner trays are needed to finish the treatment.

Given the benefits of Invisalign when compared with braces, it’s natural to think that it is more expensive than braces. Some of those benefits include:
 
– Less noticeable than traditional braces, as Invisalign aligners are clear and transparent
– Much simpler than braces for hygiene and cleaning, as trays can be easily removed when eating
– Less discomfort than braces and decreased risk of sores in your mouth as the aligners are smooth not sharp
 
However, Invisalign prices are often quite comparable to traditional braces. In some cases, traditional braces may even be more expensive than Invisalign aligners. That said, such cases typically involve varying degrees of complexity, with traditional braces treating more complex cases and Invisalign treating milder dental issues.
 
Traditional braces can treat complex issues faster than Invisalign. As such, traditional braces are typically more economical than Invisalign when treating complex dental issues. Thus, while Invisalign has many benefits when compared with traditional braces, the latter are still great treatment options in many cases. However, Invisalign is an excellent choice when treating milder issues.

The amount that insurance will cover for Invisalign varies according to several factors. For example, some insurance providers consider Invisalign a cosmetic dental treatment, as traditional braces can perform the same service as Invisalign. As such, those insurance providers are unlikely to cover Invisalign treatment.
 
Other insurance providers view Invisalign treatment as equal to traditional braces and are willing to provide coverage for between 25 to 50 percent of the treatment fee. The percentage of Invisalign treatment covered ultimately depends on your specific provider. Thus, it’s a good idea to verify with your insurance provider how much they will cover should you proceed with Invisalign treatment.
