Its a question we get asked a lot, and its really fair to ask before you go ahead and commit to any orthodontic treatment. Invisalign is a fantastic option for lots of people, but one of the things that can stop people going for it is thinking its out of their budget. The good news though is that there are usually ways to make it more doable, and at Forest Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry we do our best to help patients explore all their different options. Invisalign offers a clear and removable orthodontic solution that allows patients to straighten their teeth comfortably while maintaining flexibility with eating, brushing, and daily activities.
Yes, Invisalign is usually available to be paid for through financing, and most orthodontic offices that offer the treatment will have some kind of payment plan in place. The specifics of course depend on the practice you are with and what types of financing options they have on offer, but it’s quite common for offices to provide monthly payment plans that spread the cost out over the length of treatment. That makes the whole thing seem a heck of a lot more affordable for most families and individuals. The Damon braces system uses self-ligating technology designed to reduce friction, improve comfort, and promote more natural tooth movement for efficient and effective orthodontic treatment.
Another thing you might want to think about is dental insurance. Some plans cover orthodontic work that can be used towards Invisalign, especially if you are having the work done for practical reasons as opposed to just because you want a cosmetic tweak. Coverage can vary a lot from one plan to another, so you should probably give your insurance company a call and ask them to explain what your policy actually covers. Even a small benefit can make a big difference to what you have to pay out of pocket.
Lots of people find that financing through third party companies that specialise in healthcare costs can be a useful option too. These programs can come with low interest rates or even interest free periods, which can give you more freedom to handle your payments over time, depending on the plan you are eligible for.
We’d be happy to sit down with you at your consultation and go through all the financial side of things. We want to make Invisalign available to as many patients as possible and we’ll do our level best to help you find a way that works for you. Its easy to get in touch with our staff and we’ll take it from there.
