Several factors can affect the cost of your Invisalign treatment. During an initial consultation at our Blue Springs office, located in the Greater Kansas City, MO, area, Dr. Turner will discuss the potential costs of this popular and discreet orthodontic treatment.
Complexity of Misalignment
No two patients of Dr. Turner's are the same. For example, a patient with one or two overlapped teeth can complete treatment sooner and less expensively than if you have severe rotation and an overbite.
Pre-Orthodontic Treatments
Dr. Turner may need to treat gum disease or tooth decay before proceeding with your Invisalign treatment. If needed, this would add to your cost, as will elective treatments such as teeth whitening.
Replacement Aligners
Life happens. You could leave your Invisalign aligners somewhere, or they could get damaged. Dogs LOVE to chew on dropped plastic aligners. Replacing an aligner could cost extra.
Number of Aligners
Let's say you need 25 aligners. If you change each set every two weeks, that's 50 weeks of treatment. So, the amount of time and number of Invisalign trays you need to straighten your teeth will directly influence your total cost.
Retainers
As with braces, wearing a retainer post-treatment can stop aligned teeth from shifting out of place. Dr. Turner can discuss retainer options and their costs during your consultation.
Does Invisalign Cost More or Take Longer Than Braces?
It depends on your individual case, but many of Dr. Turner's orthodontic patients are surprised to discover that the cost of Invisalign is comparable to the cost of most traditional braces. On average, Invisalign can straighten teeth faster than braces, as well.
Should I See an Orthodontist for Invisalign?
No need to waste time making appointments and driving to a Kansas City area orthodontist. Dr. Turner is a certified Invisalign provider, meaning he can create a precisely designed treatment plan as well, if not better, than an orthodontist. This can save you money, as an orthodontist may charge more than a dentist.
