More discreet and comfortable than most alternative orthodontic treatments, Invisalign offers patients better-looking, healthier teeth that can last a lifetime in return for their investment. What is the cost of Invisalign? Depending on the patient and his or her goals, the cost can vary significantly.
How Invisalign Costs Vary
Invisalign varies in the amount of time and the materials involved, changing the total cost according to each patient’s needs. While the average length of treatment is 15 months, the length of the treatment can vary between 12 months and two years. The number of aligners needed for treatment will vary with the extent of irregularities being treated. Whether patients are having both of the upper and lower teeth straightened or solely the upper teeth, this will affect the overall cost, as well.
Value Received by Patients
Invisalign recipients enjoy more confidence and discretion during treatment, as well as for the rest of their lives. With straightened teeth, patients have more comfort when they speak and chew, and they are less prone to jaw joint disorders. Finally, tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss are less likely to strike patients after they receive Invisalign, as there are no extra hiding spots for plaque buildup.
The cost of Invisalign can increase if patients require extra appliances, such as to correct a severe overbite or narrow palate. At a consultation with our Invisalign dentist in West Hollywood, patients can find out how much this treatment may cost for them.
