Ways to pay for Invisalign Aligners
Dental Insurance: Your insurance covers Invisalign and braces to the same level. Some insurances may help to cover up to $3,000 of the orthodontic treatment.
HSA / FSA benefits: Tax-free dollars from your health savings or flexible spending account (HSA / FSA) could help offset some of the cost.
Financing: Dr. Knight offers flexible payment options and plans to fit your budget with no interest and discounts for full payment at the start of treatment.
