Invisalign costs can vary greatly from one patient to the next. The national average ranges from $3,000 to $7,000, but don’t get sticker shock. The Consumer Guide to Dentistry says that most patients are in the $5,000 or lower range. Many factors go into determining the actual treatment cost for your treatment plan.
Invisalign — Taking the First Step
The first step in determining how much Invisalign® will cost you is to make an appointment for a consultation with an orthodontist. The doctor will perform a complete examination, check your x-rays, and learn about your medical and dental history.
Each smile is different, so every treatment plan is unique. The doctor will determine the degree of correction necessary and the length of time your treatment will take. But those are just two of the factors involved in determining the cost. Other factors include:
- Dental Insurance
- Amount of downpayment
- Availability of Health Saving Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds
- Option of AcceleDent accelerated treatment
- Use of Remote Dental Monitoring
Carvalho & Roth Orthodontics offers new patients in Newton Centre, MA a free initial consultation. This service allows your family to meet our care team. It allows us to determine what your needs are and to create a comprehensive treatment plan.
Treatment Basics — What You Need to Know
Invisalign treatment is patient-centered. What that means is that each patient will need to make a commitment to the treatment plan. What that includes:
- Wear Invisalign tray 20 to 22 hours each day
- Rotate to a new set of trays approximately every two weeks
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene practices
- Care for Invisalign trays with nightly soaks
The duration of Invisalign treatment averages 12 to 18 months for most patients, although that varies depending on the degree of correction necessary. If using AcceleDent with your treatment, you may speed your results. In fact, it can reduce treatment time by as much as 50 percent in some cases!

There are options for every age, too. Invisalign First is designed for Early Treatment and can be helpful with children as young as seven. Invisalign Teen keeps active teens in the groove by straightening their teeth under the radar. Most of their friends won’t even realize they have braces! And last, Invisalign for adults is perfect for everyone else.
Although not everyone qualifies as a good candidate for Invisalign treatment, you will never know unless you take that first step.
