Questions About Invisalign Extra Costs?

Hi! I'm 28. Never had braces. Teeth are worse now. May want invisalign. Read reviews. Cost is my issue. People say some things aren't included like final retainer. Also, some need braces after the process. Is that free? Some mention lab fees. Question is, what are all the things NOT included in the cost everyone's quoting? Also, are payment plans rare? I can't afford $5k+ in one shot, but can a few hundred a month. Thanks!

Extra costs for Invisalign

There shouldn't be any extra costs for Invsalign. The doctor can quote you for the treatment, and retaining the teeth in their position when you are completed. Those may be 2 separate quotes or not. If the doctor is going to charge you for mid course corrections, or finishing/final tweeks to your teeth, they should tell you that. Fillings, crowns, should all be quoted separately.

Extra costs are possible but not probable.

Make sure you get all the up front fees quoted to you during the consult. If invisalign is done right then you will not need regular braces after. There are finance companies that you can prequalify for like CareCredit that can get you treatment for around $200 a month...

Every office sets their own fee for Invisalign

Each office will decide what is included with their fee, as well as financing options, total fee and just about everything else. It would be best to interview a few offices to see what is offered and decide from there.

Invisalign costs vary- ask your Dr. the right questions

Hi! Invisalign prices vary by region, length of treatment time, and doctor office. When you are quoted a price, ask what that includes as some offices do have hidden fees. Does that include the records as well as invisalign treatment? Does the fee include invisalign refinements if needed? Does the fee include retainers? Does the fee include braces if needed at the end? In my office, I tell all my patients up front what the cost includes, and it is all inclusive.... more
