When people call Miller Orthodontics to ask about the cost of Invisalign for moderate cases we know they want to know how much in simple terms. Invisalign for mild orthodontic problems is usually less than for more severe problems but the final cost depends on many things. We can help you understand what determines the cost and what to expect if you’re thinking about getting Invisalign for small repairs in North Tampa.


In most mild orthodontic cases there’s just a little crowding, a little space between teeth or small misalignments that don’t require a lot of tooth movement. Since these cases need fewer aligners and shorter treatment timeframes they usually cost less than full Invisalign treatment for moderate to severe problems. Moderate cases usually take 6-12 months while more complex cases can take 18 months or more. This affects the total cost. Braces for Adults deliver proven orthodontic results at any age, helping improve both function and appearance.

Invisalign has different products that can fix different types of problems. Invisalign Express or Invisalign Lite may be good options for mild cases. Invisalign Express is the cheapest because it’s for very minor corrections and usually comes with fewer aligners. Invisalign Lite is for mild to moderate cases that are a little more complex. It has more aligners than Express but fewer than full treatment. We look at your individual situation during your appointment and recommend which Invisalign product is best for you.

In general the cost of Invisalign for moderate cases is less than full treatment but the exact amount depends on your situation. At Miller Orthodontics we give you prices during your consultation once we’ve looked at your teeth and decided which treatment is best for you. We think you should know exactly how much your orthodontic care will cost before you make any decisions about it.

The final cost depends on more than just how bad your case is. The location of the practice, the treatment package and the orthodontist’s experience and knowledge all matter. It’s important to know what’s included in a quote when you get one. Our price usually includes your first consultation and exam, digital scans or impressions of your teeth, all the aligners you need for your treatment, regular check-ups to see how you’re doing and any extra aligners you need at the end to get the best results. Invisalign is a modern orthodontic solution that straightens teeth discreetly using clear, removable aligners.

If you have insurance it can help you pay for Invisalign. Many dental insurance policies that cover orthodontics will pay for Invisalign the same way they pay for regular braces, usually covering a portion of the cost up to a lifetime maximum benefit. We deal with most insurance companies that cover patients in North Tampa and we can check your benefits before you start treatment. Our team takes care of the insurance paperwork and makes sure you get the most out of your benefits.

We offer several payment plans to make Invisalign more affordable. A lot of patients choose to pay a part of their bill upfront and then make monthly payments during their treatment. We also deal with patients with flexible repayment plans and make it easy for you to pay as you go. Some of these plans have promotional periods with special interest rates and others have special interest rates. We recommend you try to pay as much as you can upfront and then make monthly payments during your treatment. We work with lenders that offer a range of plans with varied interest rates and terms. Some of these choices have promotional periods with low or no interest if specific payment conditions are met. We want to help you choose a payment plan that works for you.

Flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts are two other ways to pay for Invisalign. You can put money into these accounts before taxes for medical and dental bills. This reduces the real cost of treatment by the amount you save in taxes. If your company offers these benefits you can save a lot of money by using them for orthodontic treatment. We give you all the paperwork you need to make claims or ask for money back from these accounts.

Some people ask if it’s worth treating a mild case when the orthodontic problems aren’t that bad. Even slight misalignment can affect your dental health as well as your smile. It can be harder to clean teeth that are a little crooked or crowded which could lead to cavities and gum disease over time. Taking care of these problems might help keep your teeth healthy in the long run.

At Miller Orthodontics we want you to schedule an appointment so we can look at your teeth, talk about your goals and give you a detailed pricing estimate for your mild case. We’ll tell you which Invisalign option is best for you, how long the treatment will take and all the ways you can pay. Knowing how much it will cost for your specific case will help you decide if you should go ahead with treatment that will improve your smile and your dental health.
