If you’re new to the concept of orthodontic aligners, one of the first questions you may have for our team is, “How does Invisalign® work?” Like traditional braces, Invisalign® clear aligners work by exerting directed pressure to move individual teeth into their desired position. The system relies on a series of trays which progressively move the teeth into their proper position. Every one to two weeks you will receive a new tray until your treatment is complete.

Naturally, one of the questions a patient will want to know is, how much does Invisalign® cost? Up until recently, there was a noticeable price difference between braces and Invisalign® clear aligners. This is no longer the case, and the two are quite comparable in terms of overall cost. 

In Polaris Dental, the average cost of Invisalign® is from$3,500 . Compare that to conventional bracket-and-wire braces, which can cost anywhere from $3,500 to $4,500.

Your total out-of-pocket expenditures will vary depending on your insurance coverage, as well as the duration and complexity of your individualized treatment plan. To see if this treatment is right for you, and for an estimation of the costs involved, contact Polaris Dental and schedule a consultation today!

Invisalign® is suitable for a wide range of indications, ranging from minor to moderate malocclusion (crooked teeth). This clear clear aligner system can be used to correct the following:

• Gaps between teeth
• Underbite
• Overbite
• Crossbite
• Crowded and overlapping teeth
• Open bite
• …and others

It’s important to note that Invisalign® isn’t for everyone. If you have missing teeth in certain areas of your dental arch, or you still have “baby” teeth, traditional braces may be a better option. We may also recommend braces if your personalized treatment plan requires complex movements, such as in cases with severely crooked teeth, or clinical situations where a tooth needs help in order to erupt (surgical exposure, bracket and chain, etc.).
