Invisalign Cost without Insurance in Anaheim Hills, CA

Invisalign provides many benefits that traditional braces don’t, often making them the preferred choice for those looking to invest in straightening their teeth. Consider the following carefully as you look to make your decision:
 
• Aligners can be removed, offering flexibility in those social situations where you may want to forgo them for a couple of hours. This will not impede the straightening of your teeth in any way.

• No food restrictions. Simply pop out your aligners and munch away without having to worry about particles getting stuck or popping a metal bracket out of place.

• Cleaning aligners is easier than cleaning/flossing traditional braces. No threading the floss between the metal components and your teeth or wondering if your toothbrush got all the food particles. Simply remove your trays and scrub them with a toothbrush using water and baking soda.

• Significantly less discomfort. Invisalign moves your teeth at a slower pace than traditional braces and doesn’t require periodic in-house tightening. This softer approach reduces pain and irritation significantly. There are also fewer oral sores associated with Invisalign as there’s no metal rubbing against the soft tissue of the mouth.

• Less commute/chair time. There are significantly fewer maintenance and clinic visits with Invisalign as aligners only need to be traded out to progress the treatment.
 
While Invisalign typically costs more than traditional braces, the additional flexibility and lessened discomfort may be worth the extra money to some. At the end of the day, personal comfort and budget must both be considered to make the best choice.

Depending on the provider and how complicated your case is, Invisalign typically costs anywhere from $2000 to $9000. In comparison, traditional braces can run you anywhere from $2000 to $6000.
 
If you’re on a budget and the aesthetics component doesn’t concern you, then metal braces may be the way forward. However, keep in mind that traditional braces may come with additional expenses and chair time – especially if the metal brackets break due to eating, playing sports, etc.
 
The cost will also depend on if you have dental insurance, as some providers may provide coverage for traditional braces and/or Invisalign.

It’s worthwhile to note that many insurance providers that cover traditional braces often also cover Invisalign.
 
Coverage will depend on your specific type of insurance, so always check with your provider regarding the details of your plan. They may pay for a specific percentage of your treatment, or up to a certain dollar amount.
 
Keep in mind that orthodontic treatment usually has a lifetime cap on it so it’s important to keep up to date on the terms of your benefits and how much cap room you have left. Make sure that you also check which types of insurance your dental clinic accepts so there are no surprises when you’re handed the bill at the end of your treatment.

Many clinics will offer a payment plan option for those who would prefer to pay for their Invisalign over a series of months. Ask your provider if they offer payment plans, the period that it can be extended over, and any interest rates that may be included.
 
While some orthodontists require a down payment before the start of treatment, others may choose to waive that upfront payment and include it as part of the monthly installations.
