It’s true. No matter what you’ve believed in the past, a confident, radiant smile can be within
reach. And if you think about it, improving your smile is an important investment, because you’re doing it for yourself.

How much does Invisalign cost?

We know cost is a big question for anyone considering orthodontic work. Similar to other medical treatments, only your doctor can determine the cost based on your specific needs. Other factors could include what you want corrected or the difficulty of your case, how long you are in treatment, where you live, your orthodontic insurance coverage, and additional factors determined by your dentist or orthodontist. In most cases, Invisalign treatment is comparable to the cost of traditional braces. The national average for Invisalign (in U.S. dollars) is about $5,000.

What about insurance?

Many dental insurance plans will cover Invisalign just as they would cover other orthodontic treatments like braces. Talk to your insurance provider to determine the extent of coverage
for your treatment.

What are my other options?

If you're concerned about cost, talk to your Invisalign doctor about payment options – most doctors offer flexible and affordable monthly payment plans, many with no down payment and no interest.

What about FSAs?

Many companies offer their employees Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). An FSA allows you to set aside a portion of your paychecks in order to pay for qualified medical expenses.

The money you elect to contribute is deducted from your pay and transferred directly into your FSA, and therefore, is not subject to payroll taxes. After incurring eligible medical costs, you can then submit your receipt for reimbursement from your FSA.

Since Invisalign can fall under orthodontic treatment, these costs can qualify for FSA reimbursement. If your company offers FSA and you know you’d like to treat yourself to Invisalign, plan ahead and consult your benefits department. When it comes time to enroll in your program, you can submit the appropriate amount for your Invisalign treatment and save money while doing it, since it’s a pre-tax contribution. It’s an easy and convenient way to get the smile you want.
