3M Clarity Aligners Vs Invisalign®
At Hiser Orthodontics in Cumming, GA, we know that figuring out how to pay for orthodontic treatment can be challenging. Finding the right orthodontic treatment for your child can help straighten teeth and improve jaw alignment, making a big difference in how they feel about themselves.
This guide is designed to help you understand your orthodontic options so you can focus on what matters most: your child.
The Basics of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment usually involves two main options: braces and clear aligners like Invisalign. Both aim to fix issues like overcrowding, gaps, or bite problems.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces consist of metal brackets attached to the teeth and connected by wires. Kids can even choose colorful bands to make their braces more fun!
Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into place. This option is popular among older teens because it’s less noticeable.
Financing Your Child’s Orthodontic Treatment
Understanding the costs of orthodontic treatment can help you plan better. Here are a few avenues to consider:
Insurance Coverage
Many dental insurance plans include coverage for orthodontic treatment. Check with your insurance provider to see exactly what is covered.
Payment Plans
At Hiser Orthodontics, we offer payment plans that allow you to spread out the cost of treatment over several months. This flexibility can make it easier to manage payments. Just ask us about what options are available!
FSA & HSA
If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), you can use pre-tax money to pay for orthodontic costs. This can save you money overall, making it a smart choice for managing expenses.
Third-Party Financing
If you need additional financing, consider services like HFD (Health Finance Direct) or CareCredit. These options can help you set up a payment plan that fits your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child really need braces or Invisalign?
Whether your child needs braces or Invisalign depends on their specific orthodontic needs. Braces are often recommended for more complex cases, such as severe misalignment or bit issues. They provide precise adjustments over time. Invisalign, on the other hand, is a great option for mild to moderate alignment issues and is popular for its discreet appearance.
The best way to determine what your child needs is to schedule an orthodontic consultation. At Hiser Orthodontics, we offer a free consultation in which our orthodontic team will assess your child’s teeth and recommend the best treatment for their unique smile.
Is Invisalign the best option for my child?
Invisalign is an excellent choice for many kids and teens. However, it may not be the best fit for every situation. Factors like your child’s age, maturity level when it comes to upkeep and daily maintenance, and complexity of their orthodontic issues will influence the decision.

How much should I pay for my child’s Invisalign?
The cost of Invisalign can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of your child’s treatment and the length of time they will need to wear the aligners. Our Invisalign® pricing typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,400. The lower end of this range usually applies to our shortened Smile Again Treatment intended for mild misalignments which require less time (6-8 months of treatment) as well as fewer aligners. It’s important to discuss with your orthodontist for a specific estimate based on your child’s needs.
