If you’re considering Invisalign to achieve your dream smile, one of your first questions is likely about cost, especially if you don’t have insurance coverage. At MySmile Dental Care in Anaheim, Dr. Mehru Bhatia brings over 20 years of experience in dentistry to help guide you through understanding Invisalign costs and treatment options.
Understanding Invisalign Treatment Levels
The cost of Invisalign varies primarily based on the complexity of your case. Dr. Bhatia and our team at MySmile Dental Care categorize treatment into three levels, each with its own price range.
- Limited treatment, ideal for simpler cases, typically costs between $2,500 and $3,500.
- Moderate cases range from $3,700 to $4,900
- Comprehensive treatment for more complex cases can cost between $5,000 and $7,000.
What Determines Your Treatment Cost?
Your individual treatment cost depends on several factors that Dr. Bhatia evaluates during your initial consultation at our Anaheim office. We’ll need to assess your current teeth alignment, bone health, and any existing dental work like implants. The distance your teeth need to move also plays a crucial role in determining the complexity of your treatment.
Modern dentistry has made this assessment process incredibly precise. Using advanced scanning technology and AI-powered software at MySmile Dental Care, we can create a detailed model of your teeth and predict exactly how they will move throughout the treatment. This technology allows us to calculate the exact number of aligners needed and provide you with a clear picture of your expected results.
Payment Options to Make Treatment More Accessible
At MySmile Dental Care, we understand that Invisalign represents a significant investment in your smile. That’s why we offer several payment options to help make treatment more accessible. Third-party financing is available with rates as low as 1 to 1.5%, and depending on your treatment duration, we also provide in-house financing with zero percent interest.
What About Insurance Coverage?
While this article focuses on costs without insurance, it’s worth noting that some dental insurance plans do provide coverage for Invisalign. PPO insurance plans often offer the best coverage, typically with lifetime maximums between $1,500 and $2,000. However, it’s important to read the fine print, as some plans limit coverage to dependents under a certain age (usually 21-23 years old).
Getting Started: Your Free Consultation
The most accurate way to determine your Invisalign cost is to schedule a free consultation at our Anaheim office. During this visit, Dr. Bhatia will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. Not everyone is eligible for treatment – factors like significant bone loss or the presence of dental implants in certain locations can affect your candidacy.
During your consultation, we’ll also:
- Create a customized treatment plan
- Provide a detailed cost breakdown
- Check your insurance benefits (if applicable)
- Discuss financing options that work for your budget
Taking the Next Step

The best way to understand your specific investment is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Bhatia. We’ll work with you to find a solution that fits both your smile goals and your budget.
