Why Your Provider Matters
Your Invisalign Results Depend on Your Provider's Experience
Not all Invisalign providers deliver the same results. Invisalign by Align Technology designates providers into tiers based on the number of cases they complete each year. As an Invisalign Gold Plus Provider, Dr. Suzan Ghattas is in the top tier of certified dentists nationwide.
What does this mean for your wallet? An experienced provider creates more precise treatment plans, requires fewer refinement trays, and completes treatment faster. According to the American Dental Association, patients should seek providers with advanced training when considering elective orthodontic treatment — exactly the standard Dr. Ghattas upholds with over 20 years of clinical experience.
Dr. Ghattas graduated from NYU College of Dentistry in the top 10% of her class and completed her residency at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. She is an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), American Dental Association (ADA), American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE), and the American Academy of Clear Aligners (AACA).
Treatment Options & Pricing
Invisalign Treatment Options and Pricing at AC Dental
Dr. Ghattas will recommend the most effective and cost-efficient option for your smile during your free consultation. Here’s an overview of pricing for each Invisalign treatment we offer.
MOST POPULAR
Invisalign Comprehensive
Full treatment for moderate to complex cases
$4,500 – $6,000
Invisalign Comprehensive is the most complete treatment option, designed for patients with moderate to severe crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. This package includes unlimited aligner trays and refinement stages, meaning Dr. Ghattas can fine-tune your results until your smile is perfect — at no additional cost. Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, though Dr. Ghattas’s Gold Plus experience often results in faster completion times.
✓ Unlimited aligners✓ 12–18 months typical✓ Refinements included✓ All case types
Invisalign Express
Minor corrections with fast results
$1,800 – $3,500
Invisalign Express is designed for patients who need small adjustments — minor crowding, slight spacing, or relapse after previous orthodontic treatment. Limited to 7 aligner stages, Express is the fastest and most affordable Invisalign option. It is ideal for adults who had braces as teenagers and experienced minor shifting over the years. Dr. Ghattas can often complete Express cases in as little as 3 to 6 months.
✓ Up to 7 aligners✓ 3–6 months✓ Minor cases only✓ Most affordable option
Invisalign Go
Cosmetic-zone alignment for the front teeth
$1,500 – $3,000
Invisalign Go focuses on the front teeth — the “smile zone” that others see when you talk and laugh. This option uses up to 20 aligner stages to correct mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and rotation in the front teeth without treating the full arch. Invisalign Go is a popular choice for patients who want a visible cosmetic improvement without the time commitment or cost of comprehensive treatment. Typical treatment takes 4 to 8 months.
✓ Up to 20 aligners✓ 4–8 months✓ Front teeth focus✓ Great for smile makeovers
Vivera Retainers
Post-treatment retention to protect your new smile
$400 – $800
Set of 4 retainers
Vivera retainers are made from the same proprietary SmartTrack material as Invisalign aligners but are engineered to be 30% stronger for long-term durability. After completing any Invisalign treatment, wearing a retainer nightly is essential to prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back to their original positions. Each Vivera order includes 4 custom-fitted retainers, giving you a long-lasting supply so your investment in a straighter smile is protected for years to come.
✓ 4 retainers per set✓ 30% stronger than aligners✓ Custom-fitted✓ Protects your results
Pricing varies by case complexity. Dr. Ghattas will recommend the right option and provide an exact cost estimate during your free consultation.
Understanding Your Price
What Affects Your Invisalign Cost?
Complexity of misalignment — Minor spacing issues require fewer trays than complex bite corrections. During your consultation, Dr. Ghattas uses the iTero digital scanner to map your teeth and determine the exact number of aligners you’ll need.
Number of aligner trays — More trays means a longer treatment and higher cost. Express uses up to 7 trays; Comprehensive includes unlimited trays. Dr. Ghattas’s Gold Plus experience means more accurate initial plans and fewer additional trays.
Need for refinement trays — Some cases require additional aligners to perfect the results. With Invisalign Comprehensive, refinements are included at no extra charge. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, choosing an experienced provider is the best way to minimize the need for refinements.
Attachments and IPR — Some treatment plans include small tooth-colored attachments bonded to teeth for better aligner grip, or interproximal reduction (IPR) to create space. These are standard procedures included in your treatment cost.
Provider tier and experience — Gold Plus Providers like Dr. Ghattas complete a high volume of cases each year, meaning better technique, faster treatment, and more efficient use of your aligners. This experience can ultimately reduce your total treatment cost.
