Many dental and orthodontic insurance plans do cover Invisalign — often to the same dollar amount they'd cover for traditional braces — but the specifics vary significantly by plan, employer, and policy year. At Tollison Orthodontics, the administrative team conducts a thorough insurance verification before your treatment begins, identifying exactly what your plan will contribute toward Invisalign and how to time your treatment to maximize annual benefit cycles. Dr. Tollison's practice is in-network with several major carriers serving the Greenville, SC area, which can meaningfully reduce your out-of-pocket cost. Understanding your coverage before you commit is a non-negotiable step in the Tollison Orthodontics process.

If your plan includes orthodontic benefits, there's a strong chance it will contribute toward Invisalign — most PPO plans treat Invisalign identically to traditional braces for benefit purposes. Tollison Orthodontics' team will verify your specific plan's orthodontic lifetime maximum and percentage coverage before your treatment begins, so you know exactly what your insurer will pay.
Orthodontic insurance benefits typically cover 50% of treatment costs up to a lifetime maximum, which commonly ranges from $1,000 to $2,500 depending on your plan. Tollison Orthodontics will apply your full available benefit to your Invisalign fee and bill you only for the remaining balance, which can then be spread across a payment plan if needed.
Yes — Invisalign is an IRS-qualified medical expense, meaning both Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) funds can be used to pay for treatment at Tollison Orthodontics. Using pre-tax dollars effectively reduces the real cost of your Invisalign by your marginal tax rate, which for many patients represents a savings of 20–30% on out-of-pocket expenses.
