The cost of Invisalign depends mostly on how much your teeth need to move and how long your treatment takes. A small gap or mild crowding needs fewer aligners than a bite problem. At Harmony Dental Care in West Covina, the dentist scans your teeth, plans your case, and explains the fees before you start.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of custom-made clear aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. You wear one set at a time, and each new set moves your teeth a small step further. The aligners are removable, so you take them out to eat, drink anything other than water, brush and floss.
At Harmony Dental Care, Dr. Khaef is an experienced Invisalign provider who plans each case with 3D digital scanning.
Why does the cost of Invisalign vary?
Every case is planned for your own teeth, so the total differs from person to person. The main things that change it are:
- How much your teeth need to move. Crowding, gaps, an overbite, an underbite and a crossbite each need a different plan.
- How long treatment takes. More movement usually means more aligners and more check-ups.
- Other care before you start. Cavities or gum problems are treated first, because aligners work best on healthy teeth and gums.
- Retainers afterward. Teeth can shift back after treatment, so a retainer is part of keeping the result.
Does insurance help pay for Invisalign?
Some dental plans help with orthodontic treatment and some do not. Limits and age rules differ from plan to plan, so what yours pays depends on your own plan. Harmony Dental Care accepts PPO and Indemnity plans, Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, Smile California, CalOptima and most major dental insurance plans, and the team can look at your benefits with you.
What payment options are there?
The office offers flexible financing and affordable monthly payment plans for elective and major procedures. Many patients spread the cost of Invisalign over the months of treatment.
What happens at the consultation?
Your dentist checks your teeth, gums and bite, takes digital X-rays and scans your teeth with an iTero digital scanner, so there is no goopy impression tray. You will see how your teeth are expected to move, how long treatment should take, and the fees for your plan before you decide.
You can book a visit online or call (626) 858-3305. The office is at 148 N Grand Ave in West Covina and also sees patients from Baldwin Park, Irwindale and Charter Oak.
Is Invisalign right for everyone?
Invisalign treats many common alignment problems, but some cases are better suited to traditional braces. Your dentist will tell you honestly which approach fits your bite and goals.
