How Your Price Is Determined
Your fee depends on how complex your case is. It does not change with how long treatment takes. Comprehensive fees come in three levels, from simplest to most complex: $5,280, $6,880 and $7,175.
At Fredal Orthodontics, many comprehensive cases are completed in about 12 to 18 months. Dr. Fredal gives you your own time estimate after your diagnostic evaluation.
Invisalign vs. braces cost: At Fredal Orthodontics, Invisalign and metal braces both start from $5,280. When Dr. Fredal recommends braces, Invisalign or a mix of both, he makes that call with your long-term oral health and stability as the priority. See braces pricing
How Fredal Orthodontics Prices Aligner Treatment
Your Invisalign fee reflects comprehensive treatment planned with a CBCT scan (a 3D X-ray scan) merged with an iTero digital scan.
Fees differ from case to case. Besides how complex your case is, the fee may reflect the type of treatment recommended. It may also reflect whether special appliances or coordination with other dental specialists is needed.
Dr. Fredal says the fees reflect the expertise, time and personalized care that go into each case. He is an orthodontic specialist. He completed years of added education and full-time training in the specialty. That training focused only on diagnosing, preventing and treating problems with how the teeth and jaws line up.
Which Clear Aligner Brand Fredal Orthodontics Uses and Why
Fredal Orthodontics uses Invisalign® for all of its clear aligner treatment and does not offer other aligner brands. Its Invisalign options include Invisalign Teen for teens and Invisalign First for early (Phase 1) treatment in children. Dr. Fredal prefers Invisalign in part for its esthetics, meaning how the aligners look.
Aligner Treatment Details
Your Invisalign fee includes each appliance your treatment needs, plus elastics. It also covers emergency visits while you are in treatment.
Hybrid treatment, with braces and aligners in one plan, is included in the fee. Not every patient needs it, and Dr. Fredal decides case by case. If you start in aligners and need to switch to braces, the switch costs nothing extra.

Refinements (extra aligners to fine-tune tooth position). Refinements that are part of the originally prescribed treatment plan are included in the treatment fee at Fredal Orthodontics. Extra fees may apply if you need added treatment, aligners, appliances, scans or refinements for reasons outside the original plan.
These reasons include not wearing aligners as prescribed and missed or delayed visits. They also include lost or damaged aligners or appliances, and other ways of not following treatment instructions. Fees may also apply for changes you ask for outside the original plan. One example is having your attachments (small tooth-colored bumps) taken off for a while for a wedding or other special event.
Any such fee is set case by case and discussed with you or the responsible party.
Costs Not Covered by the Invisalign Fee
Replacement retainers cost extra: $225 per arch, or $450 for an upper and lower pair. If you choose a fixed retainer that is not clinically necessary, a lab-made fixed retainer costs $750 per arch.
Retainer Insurance, a paid program, costs $790 and covers 7 years. It lets you buy each new retainer for a $40 copay and receive one new set per quarter.
Comfort & Emergency Visits
Patients in treatment here: no charge during patient care hours. If you lose an aligner, contact the office. Patients in treatment with another office can be seen too, for $300 during patient care hours. See the full emergency policy
Transfer Cases
If you are in treatment with another orthodontist, the transfer consultation costs $250. That amount is deducted from your treatment fee if you start here. A second opinion on treatment elsewhere is free.
Insurance and Your Invisalign Cost
Fredal Orthodontics is in network with Delta Dental PPO. For the other PPO plans it accepts, it is out of network and files your claims for you as a courtesy. Your fee is the same whether your plan is in network, out of network or you pay on your own.
On average, insurance pays $1,500 per patient, or 25% of the comprehensive fee. Patients with insurance pay $4,500 out of pocket on average. The team takes your insurance card when you book. Your benefits check comes to you in writing, and before treatment begins you get a clear estimate of what you will pay.
Why Choose Fredal Orthodontics Over a Cheaper Office?
Dr. Fredal says choosing an orthodontist should come down to diagnosis, treatment planning and who will personally oversee your care. Fredal Orthodontics has one doctor, so you see the same orthodontist from start to finish. Dr. Fredal handles every consultation himself and oversees each case.
He describes the practice as specialist-led care, with digital treatment planning. Your plan is built around your bite, facial balance, jaw relationships and supporting bone. It also weighs the look of your smile and long-term stability, not just straight teeth.
He trained as a specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. He has treated more than 2,000 cases in his training and practice.

Fredal Orthodontics Clinical Standard
Why Dr. Fredal Wants to See You in Person
Dr. Fredal does not recommend mail-order treatment without appropriate in-person diagnosis and ongoing professional supervision. He checks the bite, roots, supporting bone, gum health and jaw relationships, not only the visible parts of the teeth.
Every Invisalign case at Fredal Orthodontics is planned from a 3D CBCT scan, not just a surface scan. Treatment starts with an in-person visit. Dr. Fredal uses the CBCT scan, with an iTero digital scan, to assess the teeth and the supporting bone before treatment begins. Your progress is then monitored throughout treatment.
