One of the first questions people ask when considering Invisalign invisible braces is, “How much do they cost?” Imagine their surprise when they discover that the cost of these invisible aligners are comparable to the cost for traditional metal braces. And with dental insurance and a flexible spending account (or similar health savings plan), Invisalign Teen® invisible braces cost less than you think. Calculate your costs here. Many dental insurance plans treat Invisalign just as they would other orthodontic treatments like braces. Your insurance carrier can help you determine the exact coverage for your treatment. 25% of Invisalign patients receive insurance assistance for their treatment with an average compensation of about $500. If insurance does not cover your treatment or if cost is a concern for you, ask us about about payment options. About one-third of Invisalign patients use financing options to spread their treatment costs over time. Many companies offer their employees FSAs. An FSA allows you to set aside a portion of your paycheck in order to pay for qualified medical expenses. Since Invisalign falls under orthodontic treatment, these costs can qualify for FSA reimbursement. If you have an FSA and you know you’d like to use it to pay for Invisalign, make sure you consult your benefits department. When it comes time to enroll in your program, you can authorize a deduction for the amount of your treatment and save money while doing it, since it’s pre-tax money.  It’s an easy and convenient way to get the smile you want. For more information on the cost of Invisalign treatment, please contact our office or ask at your next appointment.
