Invisalign® clear aligners have revolutionized the way many teens and adults receive orthodontic care. Imagine being able to wear customized, nearly invisible clear plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth instead of bulky, traditional braces.
Well, for someone with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, this dream can be a reality. You could have straighter teeth in less time than you thought possible. But does dental insurance cover the cost of Invisalign treatment?
Let’s find out.
Understanding Your Dental Insurance
You’ll be happy to know that many dental insurance policies cover at least part of Invisalign treatment costs if your policy has orthodontic benefits. Typical coverage amounts are from 25% to 50% of the treatment costs until you reach the policy’s lifetime maximum.
Our experienced team will happily file claims on your behalf, but here’s what you can do to find out what your coverage looks like:
- Check your policy — Look under the orthodontic benefits section of your insurance policy for details.
- Contact your provider — You could contact your insurance company and ask about coverage. If you have coverage through your employer, they may be able to answer any questions you have.
- Check for in-network providers — To get the most from your benefits, it’s important to make sure your dentist is in your plan’s network. Our dental office accepts dental insurance plans where you can choose your own dentist.
- Explore alternative payment options — If you don’t have coverage or only have partial coverage, you can use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Health Savings Account (HSA), or other financing plans. We partner with Lending Club as a way to give our patients a way to make interest-free or fixed-rate payments, often at a lower interest rate than a credit card.
