If you are considering Invisalign, you’re looking for a discreet, comfortable way to achieve a straighter smile. As you move closer to making a decision, one question always comes up: "How much will it cost?"
It is impossible to give a single price without an examination, as Invisalign is a completely custom treatment. However, at Crown Dental Group in National City, we believe in providing a transparent overview of what influences the cost and how we help make this life-changing treatment affordable.
The Two Main Factors That Determine the Price
The total cost of your Invisalign treatment depends almost entirely on the complexity and duration of your specific case.
1. The Complexity of Your Case
Minor Alignment: If you only have minor crowding, small gaps, or just need to fix your front teeth, your treatment time will be short (often 6 months or less). This requires fewer aligner trays and results in a lower cost.
Moderate to Complex Alignment: If you need to correct significant spacing issues, a severe overbite, or major crowding, the treatment takes longer (12–18 months or more). This requires more sets of aligners, more appointments, and increases the overall cost.
2. The Retention Phase
The retention phase, where you wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position, is a crucial part of the investment. We always include the cost of your custom retainers in your treatment quote to ensure your straight smile lasts a lifetime.
Making Invisalign Affordable in National City
We want every patient to have access to the beautiful, healthy smile they deserve. Here’s how we help manage the cost:
