Factors that Affect the Cost of Invisalign

Several factors can ultimately influence the cost of your Invisalign treatment. A big one is the severity of your alignment issues. The more complex your case, the longer your required treatment and the more aligners you’ll need. This is especially true if both your upper and lower arch need alignment.
In addition to the complexity and duration, pre and post procedures like extractions and retainers are a critical component in the cost of your plan. Preparatory work will add to the overall cost while your compliance with wearing your aligners and retainer will ensure that you see results that last a lifetime.
Invisalign vs. Mail-In Aligners: Which Costs More?

When comparing Invisalign to mail-in aligners, the cost difference can be significant, but so can the quality and safety of treatment. Invisalign typically costs more, ranging from $3,000 to $8,000, depending on the factors mentioned above. Mail-in aligners, on the other hand, usually cost between $1,800 and $3,000 depending on your payment plan and interest rate (if applicable).
However, Invisalign at NU Dental Barnegat offers the advantage of in-person supervision. Dr. Gizachew is a qualified dentist, ensuring that your treatment is done correctly, and any issues are addressed quickly. Mail-in aligners simply do not have this professional oversight.
You’ll often need to make impressions of your teeth on your own and rely on an orthodontist who isn’t as invested in your care. Combined, these issues can lead to poor results or even complications that our team will need to correct. Investing in Invisalign means you’re paying for a higher level of care, expertise, and quality.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?

Dental insurance can cover a portion of Invisalign treatment, but it’s rare to find a plan that has orthodontic benefits. Coverage can vary significantly between providers, with some policies covering up to 50% of the treatment cost. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage before your treatment begins. If you need help with the details, our team is happy to assist you!
