We know it's an important decision and one for which you'll want the right information. This section is here to give you the facts you need to have a discussion with your teen and make up your mind.

So is the confidence that comes with it. But the cost of getting your teen there is an important consideration that you'll want to make. Many factors can determine the cost of your teen's Invisalign Teen treatment:
You should know the Invisalign Teen system costs about the same as traditional and other clear braces. The national average for Invisalign Teen is about $5,000, but treatment costs vary from patient to patient. The true cost of your teen's treatment will be determined during your first visit with an Invisalign Teen provider.
Like traditional braces, Invisalign Teen is usually covered by orthodontic coverage plans. You can talk to your insurance provider to determine the extent of coverage for your teen's treatment.
Generally, most doctors' offices provide flexible payment plans to patients for costs above what insurance covers. Therefore, you should check with your Invisalign Teen provider to learn of any payment plans being offered. In addition, many companies offer employees Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) or Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). An FSA and HSA allow you to set aside a portion of your paycheck in order to pay for qualified medical expenses. Orthodontic treatment is generally covered under FSAs and HSAs. Your company's benefits department will have more information. Another financing option that may be available to help you get your teen Invisalign treatment is a third-party financing company focused on providing credit for healthcare services. Once you're approved for financing, you can use it for your teen's Invisalign treatment. You'll get convenient monthly payment options, and avoid up-front costs, prepayment penalties, and annual fees.
You may be one of the many adults who want a brand-new smile. Get it with nearly invisible treatment. That's right, there's Invisalign for adults, too.
