How much do braces cost? How much does Invisalign cost? These are usually the first questions we get from patients at their consultation. Ultimately, the price of Invisalign or braces depends on a number of factors, including the complexity of your case and even your location. For example, the Invisalign cost in Georgia will likely be lower than it is in California.
That said, though braces and Invisalign can be a great investment in your smile and health, there are ways to make treatment more affordable and convenient.
Here are five tips for saving time and money on orthodontic treatment:
1. Maximize Your Insurance and HSA/FSA Benefits
One of the easiest ways to make orthodontic treatment affordable is to use your dental insurance and/or funds from your health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA). Some insurance plans cover part of the cost of orthodontic treatment, including braces and Invisalign. It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance provider to see how much coverage you have.
If you have an HSA or FSA, you can use those pre-tax funds to pay for your treatment, further reducing your out-of-pocket cost. At Austell Dental Excellence, our team is happy to provide any supporting documentation you may need.
2. Choose a Tech-Savvy Practice
Choosing a practice that uses the latest orthodontic technology and treatments can save you both time and money. At Austell Dental Excellence, we use cutting-edge digital scanning technology to create a 3D model of your teeth, allowing for more precise treatment and fewer office visits.
Whether you’re seeking the fastest braces treatment time or custom clear aligners, opting for a tech-forward office will streamline your experience.
3. Consider Fastbraces® or Invisalign
Unlike traditional braces, Fastbraces can give you a straighter smile in months, not years. This not only saves time but can also reduce the overall cost of your treatment.
If you prefer a more discreet option, Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible, convenient and comfortable. You can eat what you want without worrying about brackets or wires, and the treatment is designed to fit seamlessly into your life. For patients in Georgia, Invisalign cost is often comparable to traditional braces, and we offer payment plans to make it even more affordable.
4. Take Advantage of Promotions
Who doesn’t love a good deal? At Austell Dental Excellence, we regularly offer promotions to help patients save on their orthodontic treatment.
Right now, for just $75, you can get an orthodontic consultation, dental cleaning, exam, x-rays and even a free whitening kit. If you start treatment on the same day, you’ll also get $500 off braces or Invisalign. Bundling these services into one visit saves you a trip too, helping you make the most of your time.
5. Ask About Financing Options
Worried about the cost of braces or Invisalign? Many practices, including ours, offer flexible financing options. At our office, we have 0%-interest financing and payments as low as $99 a month, so you can spread the cost of your orthodontic treatment out over time.
The Bottom Line
Saving time and money on orthodontic treatment is possible with a little planning and the right approach. By using your insurance, choosing a high-tech practice, taking advantage of promotions and opting for flexible financing, you can make Invisalign and braces treatment work for your schedule and budget.
