What is Invisalign treatment and how much does it cost?

Invisalign Treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces. Invisalign treatment typically costs about the same as braces. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment the same way they cover braces. Your insurance may pay for a certain percentage of your Invisalign treatment, or it may pay for a certain dollar amount. Every smile is unique, which is why your Invisalign treatment starts with a FREE consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Kathiriya will help you determine what Invisalign treatment could do for your smile, how long it would take to complete it and how much it will cost based on your insurance coverage.
