One of the first questions people ask when they come to Mistry Dental for Invisalign is how much it will cost. We have helped many people in Mississauga straighten their teeth with Orthodontics and we know it’s important to know what to expect financially before making this decision. The cost of Invisalign varies from person to person but we can tell you what most people pay and what factors affect the final cost.
In Mississauga, the total cost of Invisalign treatment for adults is usually between $4,000 and $7,000. Most of our adult patients pay between $5,000 and $6,000 which is right in the middle. But some cases that only need a few little tweaks might only cost $3,000 and more complex cases that need a lot of tooth movement could cost $8,000 or more. The range is so wide because everyone’s teeth are different and need different amounts of correction.
The most important thing that affects your cost is how complex your orthodontic problems are. If your teeth are only slightly crowded or have small gaps between them you will need fewer aligners and a shorter treatment time which is less expensive. If you have serious bite problems, a lot of crowding or a lot of teeth that need to move a lot you will need more aligners for a longer time which will cost more. We take a good look at your teeth during your consultation to figure out how much work needs to be done and give you an exact quote based on your unique situation. Emergency dental care provides immediate relief for pain, injury, or unexpected dental issues. Prompt treatment prevents complications and restores comfort quickly. Our team is prepared to respond with care and precision when it matters most.
The cost also depends on the type of Invisalign treatment you need. Invisalign Express is for very little changes and costs between $3,000 and $4,000. This option takes less time and uses fewer aligners. Invisalign Lite is for cases that aren’t too bad and costs between $4,000 and $5,500. The full Invisalign treatment is for more complex cases and usually costs between $5,000 and $8,000. During your consultation we can help you decide which option is best for you.
A lot of the time adults ask us why their treatment costs more than what a teen would pay. The truth is the cost is usually the same no matter how old you are. Adult teeth just take a little longer to move than younger teeth. This could mean a few more months of treatment and a few more aligners. Adults are also more likely to have had dental work done before, such as crowns or bridges or to have lost some bone or had their gums recede which can make treatment planning more complicated and perhaps more expensive.
We include everything you need in the price we quote at our Mississauga office. This includes your first consultation and exam, all of your custom aligners during treatment, regular checkup appointments to monitor your progress, any adjustments needed to perfect your smile and your retainers at the end of treatment. We believe in clear pricing because we want you to know exactly what you’re paying for and not have to worry about any extra costs later. When comparing prices between providers it’s important to know what’s included because some offices estimate cheaper pricing at first but then charge separately for office visits, modifications or retainers.
A lot of people are worried about having to pay for treatment all at once and we totally get that. That’s why we have payment plans that allow you to pay over time. Most of our adult patients prefer to pay for their treatment in monthly installments. Treatment usually takes 12-18 months. This makes the whole investment a lot more manageable and ensures money doesn’t get in the way of getting the smile you want.
If your dental plan covers orthodontic benefits for adults, your insurance can help pay for a lot of the cost. Most of the time adult orthodontic benefits are between $1,000 and $2,000 but some plans offer more. Unfortunately a lot of dental insurance plans only cover braces for kids and don’t cover braces for adults at all. We know how to deal with insurance companies and we can check your benefits to let you know exactly what your plan will cover.
We work with third-party financing providers that offer payment plans with low interest rates or even no interest if you qualify. This is for individuals who don’t have insurance or whose insurance doesn’t cover orthodontics. If you spread out payments over a longer period of time than the treatment itself these options can make treatment a lot more affordable.
When people think about the cost of Invisalign they often think about the long-term value rather than just the initial cost. Straight teeth will help you for the rest of your life. Straight teeth are easier to clean well so you may feel more confident, smile more freely and perhaps have better dental health. A lot of our adult patients say getting work done on their smile was one of the best things they ever did.
