Invisalign/Brace - out of pocket

[Anonymous]

Hi,
Approximately, how much did your kid's braces/ invisalign cost you after insurance?
I was quoted approx. $ 4,500 -$ 4,900 and was told it would take about 16 months for my kid to wear it (this is after insurance). Is this about right?

Thanks!

Sounds about right.

Just about the same for us.

Sounds cheap. All of my kids' have been out of pocket. Phase 1 for 1 kid expander and braces on top was about $3700. My invisalign was $6500 and my old child's full metal braces were around $7k.

We’re in Arlington, Invisalign, one teen $5034 after insurance, the other $5946 after (started about 6-9 months later so costs went up). about 18 months for total treatment. We paid a deposit $500, then the payments were spread out over 18 months. There was a slight discount if you paid in full but not a significant amount.

That seems right depending how much your insurance covers and how much extra work is required with the Invisaligns.

That seems great. I have to pay 7000 for each of my twins!

How common are multiple rounds?

Anywhere between $3000 - $5500.

That is really cheap. My kid's is $8000 for 18 months, but it is 100% OOP.

I am almost finished with Invisalign. Cost before insurance was $4800. Insurance is covering half. However, it is also a short duration. 14 trays. The costs vary considerably.

Also this is in DC

When it goes in phases it’s typically more money. My older daughter’s teeth were a mess and braces were about $9k. My youngest are easy and regular braces are $5k and will take 18 months.

Around $4000 out of pocket. Insurance paid $1000 and we got a $500 discount for paying in a lump sum rather than making payments over time.
