How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Los Angeles CA?

Several factors determine the cost of a full set of Invisalign aligners. These factors include:

The dental clinic’s location: Each dental clinic has its own prices and rates for Invisalign aligners. In general, dental clinics located in larger city centers will cost more than those in locales with lower populations. The reason for this discrepancy in rates is that larger city centers have increased competition. That said, you may also find a greater range of prices in larger city centers.

Your dental health: If you have an extensive bite or misalignment issues with your teeth, your treatment will likely take longer and cost more. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign treatment involves different aligner trays every one to two weeks. Each aligner tray guides your teeth further until they are in the desired position. Part of your treatment cost involves the price of each aligner tray. Thus, the more trays you need to bring your teeth into proper alignment, the more your treatment will cost.

The dentist’s time and labor: In addition to the cost of the aligner trays, you will also be charged according to the dentist’s time and labor. If your dentist needs to perform extractions or other dental treatments to facilitate Invisalign treatment, that will be figured into the total cost of treatment.

The portion your insurance covers: If your insurance covers all or a portion of Invisalign treatment, you will pay less than if you are responsible for a full set of Invisalign aligner trays.

The price of Invisalign treatment is quite comparable to traditional braces. Given the benefits of Invisalign treatment, the comparable price may come as a surprise to many people. Those benefits include:

• More discreet treatment, as Invisalign aligner trays, are clear and virtually invisible
• Simpler for cleaning and eating purposes, as they are removable
• Less discomfort and decreased risk of mouth sores

Traditional braces are still beneficial in many cases. For individuals with complex dental issues, traditional braces are often more effective at guiding the teeth into the correct position than Invisalign.

The amount insurance covers for Invisalign treatment depends on your specific plan. Some plans may consider Invisalign treatment purely cosmetic and deny coverage, while other providers may cover all or a portion of your costs. That said, more and more insurance providers are considering Invisalign as a legitimate treatment for your dental health and are providing coverage as a result.

For those providers who consider Invisalign treatment as equal to traditional braces, most provide coverage for approximately 25 to 50 percent of your total treatment fee. As the percentage covered for Invisalign treatment varies with each provider, you’ll want to find out how much your insurance company covers directly. You may be able to find this information through your online account or with a pamphlet detailing your benefit information.

Alternatively, you can have your dental clinic send in a coverage request to your insurance provider after having an Invisalign consultation. During this consultation, your provider will go over your treatment needs and provide an estimate of how much your treatment will cost. Your dental clinic will send this information with the coverage request and your insurance provider will review it before sending back a predetermination for how much they will cover. This option gives you a more accurate understanding of how much your insurance provider will cover.
