\"WomanDid you miss your chance for braces as a child? Maybe your teeth have shifted over the years? No matter the reason, Invisalign is the preferred choice in orthodontics for adults. 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over the age of 18, thanks to less noticeable treatments, like clear aligners. Although it\u2019s never too late to improve your smile, time is running out to use your dental insurance<\/a> to lower the cost. If you\u2019ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to get a straight smile, this is it.<\/p>\n

Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people associated Invisalign with a hefty price tag because it was considered an elective treatment in previous years, so it wasn\u2019t covered by insurance. However, now it\u2019s commonly included in policies with orthodontia coverage. It can cost about the same as traditional braces, depending on your treatment plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, your benefits don\u2019t last forever. Your coverage resets at the end of the year, and you\u2019ll lose anything you haven\u2019t used. Nothing will carry over into the new year, and you won\u2019t be reimbursed for your premiums or deductible. As you approach the holiday season, you could lose hundreds to thousands of dollars that could be spent on Invisalign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s still time to schedule your consultation and start your journey to a straight smile without spending your life\u2019s savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The amount you\u2019ll pay depends on your treatment plan. Every mouth and situation are unique, so there\u2019s not a one-size-fits-all series of aligners. After examining your mouth, your orthodontist will create a personalized strategy to fix your bite and alignment, which will affect the amount you\u2019ll pay. Although every case differs, factors that will influence your estimate can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
