Invisalign aligners are a great option for straightening your teeth. If you’re looking for an Invisalign dentist, the team at 19th Ave. Dental care is ready to help! One of the most common questions we get about Invisalign is whether or not insurance covers Invisalign.
First, you need to understand how Invisalign treatment works. It is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that will gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike braces, there are no brackets and wires, and none of the food restrictions, either.
After your initial Invisalign appointment, your doctor will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Then your Invisalign clear aligners are designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your Invisalign dentist will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.
At 19th Ave. Dental Care, our dental office accepts most insurance plans. Many insurance plans do cover the Invisalign cost in Arizona. Typically they cover Invisalign treatment the same way they cover braces.
Your insurance may pay for a certain percentage of your Invisalign treatment, or it may pay for a certain dollar amount. Check with your insurer to see what they offer in terms of orthodontic coverage. Additionally, if your insurance plan comes with an FSA or HSA, can use those funds to pay for Invisalign treatment using tax-free dollars.
In most cases, the cost of Invisalign treatment is similar to the cost of braces. Your doctor will determine the cost of your treatment based on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need. There are several options to make Invisalign treatment more affordable for you, from using insurance and tax-free dollars to a monthly payment plan.
We often get asked how much is Invisalign without insurance. According to the Consumer Guide for Dentistry, the national average for Invisalign is $3,000–$5,000. However, we can give you an exact price for your unique treatment plan after you come in for a complimentary consult.
Due to advances in 3D scanning technology and the material involved in making aligners, the cost of Invisalign is now comparable to braces. However, when you go through a dentist for Invisalign treatment in Phoenix, you might even find it’s less expensive overall than seeing an orthodontist! Between the savings from seeing a dentist instead of an orthodontist, insurance coverage, and FSA/HSA dollars, your teeth straightening treatment may be quite affordable.
