209 NYC Invisalign Cost & Special
Invisalign Monthly Cost
209 NYC Dental offers affordable Invisalign monthly payments. The monthly cost will be determined on the above provisions, i.e. Invisalign insurance coverage; 3rd party or in-office financing, downpayment amount. Our experienced treatment coordinator will help you establish a comfortable payment plan.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost for Top Teeth Only?
Sometimes patients ask us if they can fix only their top teeth or only bottom teeth. Unfortunately, treatment only for the top or bottom teeth, called single arch treatment, is rarely possible or advisable.
The reason is that all structures in the mouth exist based on the opposing forces. For example, if there is a missing tooth then the tooth next to it or above it would start to shift to close the space. That is why doctors recommend a dental implant to replace missing teeth. Even a treatment like a filling or dental crown has to be done with precision. If you ever had one done, you might remember that the dentist would check your bite and make some adjustments to the restoration. The reason is that the new restoration maybe “high” thus it may interfere with your natural bite causing discomfort, soreness, and even headache. Same goes for single arch treatments.
It is crucial to one’s health to maintain a proper bite. When teeth are moving it means that the opposing teeth have to move along to support each other. If you strongly believe or were told by another doctor that you qualify for Invisalign only on top teeth or Invisalign only on the bottom teeth, please book a consultation for an evaluation with Dr. Ahn to discuss your treatment and its cost.
Invisalign Retainer Cost and Invisalign Replacement Retainer Cost
The average NYC cost for Invisalign Retainers is $750. Same goes for Invisalign retainer replacement cost. As part of our Invisalign special, we offer Free Invisalign Retainers.
To find out the cost of your treatment with Invisalign aligners, schedule a consultation with 209 NYC Invisalign specialist, Dr. Ahn. Book an online appointment or call the office.
Does Insurance Cover Invisalign?
Is Invisalign covered by insurance? This is the first question that patients ask us after their Invisalign consultation with Dr. Ahn. It is understandable. We are happy to say that many dental PPO Plans through Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, Delta Dental insurance companies cover Invisalign as they would any other orthodontic treatment. Read below about the conditions & other limitations that may affect Invisalign cost with insurance.
Invisalign Insurance Coverage
Invisalign insurance coverage works the same way as with traditional braces. There are several provisions that may affect Invisalign insurance coverage. If you have orthodontic insurance coverage on your plan you are in luck because your Invisalign price becomes more affordable.
How Do I Know if My Dental Insurance Covers Invisalign?
To find out if your insurance covers Invisalign you need to know the following:
- Do you have orthodontic coverage?
- Is there an age limit on your plan? Does the age limit affect you?
- Did you use any of the orthodontic maximum before?
- Does your plan provide out-of-network benefits since the doctor maybe out-of-network?
Orthodontic Life Time Maximum: Dental insurance that covers Invisalign may have an orthodontic lifetime maximum of $1,000, $1,500 or more. Lifetime maxim means that it does not recycle as your regular annual maximum at the beginning of the fiscal year. Once it is used there is no money left for additional treatment.
Age Limit: The insurance may have an age limit for ortho coverage. For example, insurance will cover Invisalign or other types of braces only up to the age of 19 or 26. Dental insurance that covers Invisalign for adults will not have such a provision.
Check your coverage details. Below are a few examples of what you may find.
Orthodontic Payment Policy: Another provision that will determine the cost of Invisalign after insurance is how your dental insurance pays? It varies from one insurance to another, from one plan to the next one how they pay for Invisalign. If your dental insurance covers Invisalign the payment can come as a lump sum; it can be broken down in one large initial payment and smaller monthly payments or just consist of small monthly payments. This brings us to a very important point – some insurance will not pay out your orthodontic maximum but will pay only small monthly amounts of $50 or so. Details of your coverage will be disclosed during the pre-approval process.
If your Invisalign is covered by insurance your out-of-pocket Invisalign cost will be reduced by the amount expected to be paid by your dental plan.
Other Conditions: There are still a number of conditions that may affect your Invisalign cost with insurance, i.e. if you change your job in the middle of your treatment and new insurance does not cover Invisalign; your employer may change insurance policy in the new year while you are still being treated. Our treatment coordinator will discuss the details with you and provide you with assistance in light of such circumstances.

If you have dental insurance with ortho coverage, your insurance may partially cover Invisalign cost. If you are interested in proceeding with treatment, after your pre-orthodontic consultation with Dr. Ahn we will submit pre-approval to find out about your Insurance coverage for Invisalign.
It typically takes 2-3 weeks to get pre-approval back from your insurance. Once we receive it we will discuss with you the following: will dental insurance pay for Invisalign, how much will it pay, how will it pay, what will be your Invisalign cost with insurance. We will also go over payment options available to our patients to cover the out-of-pocket cost, like utilizing Flexible or Health Savings Account (FSA/HSA), interest-free financing options through CareCredit or in-office payment plan, as well as Lending point Invisalign financing.

Invisalign journey is a lengthy process that requires consistency and dedication. Is it worth undergoing it?
Look in the mirror, the answer is in your reflection. Will a straight beautiful smile make you more confident when you talk to your colleagues, or maybe next time you take a selfie you will not need to strategically position yourself to hide your teeth? You can look at the Invisalign reviews, before and after pictures but ultimately the answer lies with you.
Hear From Our Patients
Dr. Ahn is a very experienced professional, extremely dedicated and patient. He was always available and supportive. I highly recommend Dr. Ahn for Invisalign braces.
What Are Invisalign Braces?
Invisalign Braces are clear aligners custom designed to perform tooth movements. They are trademarked and manufactured by Align Technology, a pioneer in research and development in invisible braces.
Invisalign vs Braces
As we mentioned before, in the hands of experienced and skilled doctor any adult patient willing to comply can achieve the same beautiful smile with Invisalign as they would with traditional braces. Thus, as we compare the two types of orthodontic treatments we would like to point out the positive and negative effects of each type on the patient’s daily routine. These daily concerns often will determine the choice.
Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign?
Align Technology spends millions of dollars on research and development to find new techniques to improve the process, results, comfortable experience. In addition, they look for ways to grow the number of patients who can qualify for Invisalign treatment. Dr. Ahn is highly skilled in achieving excellent results with these aligners. There are very few cases, the majority of whom are kids with not established dentition, who are not candidates for this type of orthodontic treatment.
Following malocclusion problems can be addressed with clear aligners:
How Long Does Invisalign Take To Straighten Teeth?
Each treatment is customized to the needs of the patient. Thus treatment time can last on average 6-12 months. In some complicated cases, the treatment may last up to two years.
There are several factors affecting the length of the treatment:
- Teeth positioning
- Patient’s goals and desires
- Patient’s compliance & diligence in wearing clear aligners
There are several treatment options to treat malocclusion with clear aligners from Full treatment to Invisalign Express.
Full: it provides a complete transformation of one’s smile. It includes unlimited trays and refinements. Our New York City Invisalign office offers a Special on the Full treatment.
Lite: a shorter treatment meant for limited movement (up to 14 aligners).
Express 10: a less involved treatment (up to 10 trays). Often suggested as an initial treatment prior to other dental procedures, like implants or veneers.
Express 5 (up to 5 trays), Invisalign i7 (up to 7 trays): designed for sight crowding or spacing.

Invisalign Process, Step by Step:
Below are the answers to the common questions that come up during the braces consultation or the treatment. We have listed them in the order of treatment so you can understand a step by step process.
On your second visit or during your braces consultation, our doctor will take your before photos, and plan out the treatment plan, and the duration of your treatment.
You will receive your first set of trays two to three weeks later.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Every set of the Invisalign Aligners, also known as trays, are custom made. They are virtually invisible and fit snugly over your teeth. Each set of trays shifts your teeth slightly; they move your teeth horizontally and vertically and even rotate them when needed. Your aligners are well designed to use the right amount of force in the right place at the right time.
When you switch to the next set of aligners (usually every week), your teeth slowly start to move into the new position. Almost right away you should be able to see improvement in your smile.
What Are Invisalign Attachments Made Of?
In some cases, the doctor may place Invisalign attachments or Invisalign buttons on your teeth to facilitate the proper movement. They are made out of the same material as dental bonding, tooth-colored composite. They will be removed once they are no longer needed.
How Often Do You Have To Visit the Dentist With Invisalign?
Years of experience have proven that there is no need to come in more frequently than every eight to ten weeks. However, if you have questions, you can always call the office and talk either to the doctor or his treatment coordinator, who is very knowledgeable.
Invisalign at Home
Invisalign treatment is not an at-home treatment. The patient has to come to the office for scans and periodic visits. However, periodic visits are very quick and infrequent. If you are out of the country or have another reason why you cannot make it to the office we can mail you your trays.
Invisalign Refinements
Often after major movement is achieved the doctor will advise to scan you for refinements. Refinements are necessary to fine-tune the alignment of the teeth and the new bite. As for the patient, the process is not any different than before. The patient will continue with the new set of trays as before, changing them every five to seven days and visiting our Invisalign Manhattan doctor eight to ten weeks.
Invisalign Transfer Case, and How Do I Avoid Becoming One?
There are two reasons why someone may become a transfer case:
- The patient is moving away, and no longer can commute to the treating provider.
- A treating doctor is unable to complete the treatment, and the patient needs to see another provider to complete the case.

Taking Care of Your New Smile With Invisalign Retainers
When your treatment is complete, just like with any orthodontic treatment it is strongly recommended to wear retainers after Invisalign. Often patients refer to them as Invisalign retainers, however, there are different options for retainers. The retainers look the same as the invisible aligner, but the materials used to manufacture them are different.
Some offices may offer inexpensive retainers that are made out of soft acrylic. They are an affordable option but not long-lasting.
In our Manhattan office, we offer top of the line Vivera Retainers, these are manufactured by Align Technology. They are made out of more durable material. Average New York City price of Vivera retainers is $500 – $800. 209 NYC Dental is able to offer them as a part of the Full Invisalign Special to our Midtown East Invisalign patients.
How To Clean Invisalign Retainers?
Rinse your aligners every night with lukewarm water and brush them with your toothpaste and toothbrush.
Invisalign NYC
Nowadays, having an invisible braces is the norm. Many adult and teen patients opt for invisible aligners to straighten teeth vs conventional braces or metal braces. With ever-growing competition among invisible braces, it is getting harder to compare treatment options available to the patients.
