Do you want to become more confident in the new year? If you\u2019ve been considering using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebeautifully.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> clear braces to straighten your teeth, there\u2019s no better time to start treatment than in the last few months of the year. Not only can you get a head start on your New Year\u2019s resolution, but you can actually end up saving money! Continue reading as we explain why it\u2019s best to begin Invisalign treatment before the year ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does Invisalign Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because no two smiles are exactly alike, neither are any two costs of Invisalign treatment. During your Invisalign consultation, your dentist will explain that there are many factors that affect the cost of your treatment, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How often you wear your clear aligners as prescribed<\/li><li>The degree to which your teeth are misaligned prior to treatment<\/li><li>The type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebeautifully.com\/new-patients.html\">dental insurance<\/a> you have and whether it covers orthodontics<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends on the details of your specific policy. While most dental insurance plans will cover a portion of the cost of orthodontic treatment, you\u2019ll have to check with your insurer to find out how much you can expect to pay out-of-pocket. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable asking those sorts of questions, or you just need help figuring out how your plan works, a member of your dental team can gladly help you get the answers you need as well as file any necessary paperwork. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Start Invisalign Treatment at the End of the Year?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most crucial reasons to begin Invisalign now is so you can use your annual maximum and avoid unused dollars being returned to the insurance company. Your dental benefits will <em>not<\/em> roll over into 2021. Whatever you haven\u2019t used in 2020 will disappear once the clock strikes midnight on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve already met your deductible for 2020, starting Invisalign now will ensure you use your annual maximum for this year as well as the next one or two (depending on how long your treatment takes). This is because your Invisalign plan will carry over across more than one calendar year, allowing you to take advantage of your renewed annual maximum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting Invisalign treatment before your benefits reset at the end of the year is by far the best way to save money while straightening your teeth. Don\u2019t wait; call your dentist to begin your journey to a straighter smile today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Gary Chaffee graduated from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 1975.
