FAQ’s about Invisalign
What is Invisalign? Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
How much does Invisalign cost in San Diego? The cost varies, but most of our cases average around $4,900. If your dental plan has orthodontic benefits, you may have up to $1500 to be used towards Invisalign
How long does Invisalign take? Treatment time varies, averaging 12-18 months, but simpler cases can be shorter.
Do I wear Invisalign all the time? Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours a day for optimal results, removing them only for eating and cleaning.
Is Invisalign more expensive than braces? Generally, Invisalign can be slightly more expensive than traditional braces.
Where can I get Invisalign in San Diego? Dental Design SD offers comprehensive Invisalign treatment in the San Diego area.
Does Insurance cover Invisalign?
Orthodontic benefits are established by your employer and insurance carrier. Typically, there is a once-in-a-lifetime max of $1500, and the patient will be responsible for the remaining balance. Orthodontic benefits are typically limited to traditional wire and bracket braces, however the good news is that patients may opt for Invisalign and utilize those benefits toward the balance of Invisalign treatment.
Do you offer payment plans for Invisalign?
Yes! We offer third party financing through Cherry and Sunbit, and for established patients we may be able to offer payment plans that best suit your budget. Zero percent financing plans are available.
AM I COVERED?
Is Invisalign Covered By My Dental Insurance?
It depends on your individual plan. We recommend looking at your benefits plan to determine if orthodontics is a covered benefit. From what we have seen, many PPO plans do have orthodontic benefits, which is usually a lifetime benefit of $1500 towards treatment. Since Invisalign is considered optional, your plan will likely require you to pay the difference. Here’s how a typical plan would work.
Invisalign Comprehensive Treatment (estimate) = $4,900
Ortho Benefits (plans may vary) = $1,500
Expected Patient Portion: $4,900 - $1,500 = $3,400

TIMELINE
How Long Does It Take To See Results With Invisalign?
Depending on the severity of your case, results can be seen in as little as 20 weeks. On average, most patients start noticing visible improvements in their smile within the first few months. However, the exact timeline for achieving results can range from six months to two years. Regularly wearing aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day and following instructions are crucial in achieving the desired outcomes in the shortest time possible.
