Invisalign Starts at $4,000

Invisalign tray in case

At our St. Louis dental office, patients typically pay $4,000-$6,000 for Invisalign, a price that’s comparable to braces. Your final cost will depend on the amount of movement that is necessary and how many aligners you’ll need. Our St. Louis team will provide you with a personal quote once we’ve assessed your smile and outlined a treatment plan.

We accept most types of dental insurance and will help maximize your benefits. We also accept financing through CareCredit®, LendingClub, and LendingPoint™. These third-party lenders allow patients who qualify to pay for their dental care in affordable monthly installments.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

“Our ultimate goal is to figure out what our patients truly want… It’s about creating healthy mouths and giving people confidence in themselves! We are treating people, not just teeth.” Dr. Chris Hill

Virtual Consultation

The process begins with a virtual consultation. Simply upload a picture of your smile and let our team know what you'd like to address. Dr. Chris Hill will assess your teeth and determine the best treatment options for you. He will send you a customized video explaining your options and answering your questions. You can then schedule an in-person visit at our St. Louis dental office.

Planning

If Dr. Hill determines that Invisalign is the best solution for your goals, and you decide to proceed, we will start planning your treatment. We'll take digital scans of your teeth using 3D imaging technology. These scans will be sent to an Invisalign lab where technicians will map out how to most effectively move each tooth into alignment.

Treatment

Once the lab has designed your treatment plan, you’ll receive your aligners. You’ll wear each set for two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series. Each aligner gradually shifts your teeth, moving them horizontally, vertically, and even rotating them when needed. Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours each day for best results.

Retain Results

Once you’ve completed treatment, you’ll have to wear a retainer. Your retainer could be your final set of Invisalign trays, and you may be instructed to wear them every night indefinitely. Wear them as directed to keep your teeth in their newly aligned positions.

Invisalign FAQ

Is my child a good candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is ideal for adults and teenagers who don't want to draw attention to their orthodontic treatment and who are responsible enough to wear their aligners for the required time each day. Children may not be the best candidates for Invisalign as they may forget to wear their aligners or misplace them.

Do I really need to wear my aligners for 22 hours a day?

To achieve the best results, you must wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours a day. Take them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and perform your oral hygiene routine. Failure to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day can prolong your treatment timeline and cause your teeth to shift back into their old misaligned positions.

Is Invisalign treatment painful?

While you may experience some discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, Invisalign treatment is generally less painful than traditional braces.

Can Invisalign fix all types of orthodontic issues?

Invisalign is effective for correcting many common alignment and bite issues, such as overcrowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. However, Invisalign is best suited to mild-to-moderate cases. Severe cases may require different treatments.
