How much is Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign treatment cost depends on how much your teeth need to move and how long treatment takes. You'll see how your teeth are planned to move, the estimated timeline, and the cost before you decide. Some dental plans include an orthodontic benefit that can apply to Invisalign treatment, and CareCredit can spread the cost into monthly payments. Your first step is a consultation and a digital iTero scan.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Invisalign treatment can take anywhere from a few months for simple cases to a year or more for more involved ones, depending on how much your teeth need to move. Wearing your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day keeps treatment on schedule. You'll get an estimate at your consultation.

Does insurance cover Invisalign treatment?

Some dental insurance plans cover part of Invisalign treatment through an orthodontic benefit, and others don't include orthodontic coverage at all. It depends on your plan, Delta Dental plans included. We're in network with Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier and we're happy to bill other plans for you. Our team can check your benefits before you start. CareCredit financing can help with the rest.

Can Invisalign clear aligners fix an overbite?

Yes, Invisalign clear aligners can correct many overbites, along with many underbites and crossbites. Larger bite corrections and some complex tooth movements may do better with braces. Dr. Dillon Chang is an Invisalign provider, and our orthodontist, Dr. Erinn Chang, offers both metal braces and Invisalign clear aligners in the same office, so you'll hear which one fits your bite.

Is Invisalign treatment better than braces?

Neither one is better for everyone; it depends on your teeth and your habits. Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, so there are no food restrictions, but they only work if you wear them 20 to 22 hours a day. Metal braces stay on all the time and can handle larger bite corrections. We offer both, and you'll get a recommendation at your consultation.

Does Invisalign treatment hurt?

Most people feel some pressure or soreness for a day or two after switching to a new set of aligners. It usually fades quickly. If you're sore, soft foods and an over-the-counter pain reliever usually help until your teeth settle into the new set.
