One of the most common questions we get from people considering getting braces is cost. We know creating a budget for dental care is a big part of the decision making process for individuals and families in Parkland. The cost of Invisalign varies from patient to patient because of many things that are unique to each case. At Marrecau Orthodontics we believe in being transparent about our prices so you can make informed decisions about your oral health without any surprises along the way.
The main things that affect the cost of Invisalign are how complex your case is and how long you’ll need to wear the aligners. Someone with a few spacing issues or a little crowding will usually need fewer aligners and a shorter treatment time than someone with more severe alignment issues. We’ll do a full exam of your teeth at your first appointment and give you a personalized treatment plan with an exact cost estimate. This way you know exactly what to expect before you start treatment.
In general the cost of Invisalign is the same as traditional orthodontic treatment for the same problems. Some people think clear aligners cost a lot more but the truth is the prices are usually the same. The actual cost depends on how many aligners you need, how long the treatment will take and any other treatments that may be needed. When we create your treatment plan and talk to you about payment options we take all of these things into account. Your out of pocket cost for orthodontic care can vary greatly depending on your insurance. Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic work and that includes Invisalign as well as other types of treatment. Your plan will determine how much coverage you get but it’s not uncommon for insurance to pay for part of the overall cost. Our staff works directly with your insurance company to make sure you get all the benefits you’re entitled to and get the most out of your plan. We take care of the paperwork and talking to your insurance carrier so the process is as easy as possible for you.
We have payment plans for patients who don’t have insurance or whose benefits don’t cover the full cost. These plans are designed to fit various budgets. We believe everyone should be able to get good orthodontic care no matter how much money they have. You don’t have to pay everything up front; instead you can split the cost over affordable monthly payments. This way treatment is easier to get and less stressful so you can focus on enjoying your journey to a new smile.
Some people in Parkland are unsure if the cost of Invisalign is worth it compared to other solutions. The value goes beyond just straight teeth. Cleaning teeth that are properly aligned is easy which lowers your chance of getting cavities and gum disease over time. Better alignment also makes your bite work better which helps stop your teeth from wearing down too quickly and ease jaw pain or headaches caused by misalignment. Also many people say having a beautiful smile gives them a boost of confidence that makes a big difference in their personal and professional lives even if it’s hard to put into words.
The fact that it’s easy to use makes the investment worth more. Clear aligners fit into your life. You don’t have to worry about what you eat or how hard it is to clean around brackets and wires. You can take them out for meals, big activities and brushing your teeth. Compared to regular adjustment sessions these shorter, less frequent office visits save you time. These benefits make the treatment process much easier for busy professionals, parents and students. If you’re considering orthodontic treatment we invite you to come in and we’ll go over the costs in depth based on your needs. We’ll look at your teeth, explain what treatment will entail and give you a breakdown of costs at this visit. You can ask about payment options, insurance coverage and financing arrangements. Before we go any further we want you to be completely comfortable with the money side of things.
At Marrecau Orthodontics we’re committed to providing excellent care that leads to beautiful long lasting results. We know cost is a big deal but we also think spending money on your smile is one of the best things you can do for your health and self esteem. We also talk about Adult Treatment options that meet a range of orthodontic needs and have varying pricing for patients who may need more comprehensive care.
Our commitment to transparent, patient centered treatment is shown by how open we are about prices. We never want financial concerns to stop someone from getting the smile they deserve. That’s why we put so much effort into finding ways to make treatment affordable and easy to get. We’ll help you understand the financial side of things clearly and with support whether you’re paying with insurance, using our payment plans or a combination of both.
