Braces vs. Invisalign: Which Is Right for You?
One of the most common questions we hear is: "Should I get braces or Invisalign?" The honest answer is that it depends on your smile goals, lifestyle, and the complexity of your case. Here's a quick comparison to help you think it through:
| Treatment | Best For | Visibility | Removable | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metal Braces | All cases, including complex bite issues | Most visible | No | 12-24 months |
| Clear Braces | Image-conscious teens and adults | Subtle, tooth-colored | No | 12-24 months |
| Invisalign / Clear Aligners | Mild to moderate alignment needs | Nearly invisible | Yes | 12-18 months |
Metal braces remain the workhorse of orthodontics. They handle just about any case and often come with the most flexible pricing. Clear braces offer the same reliable results with a more discreet look, which many older teens and adults prefer. Invisalign and clear aligners are ideal if you want a removable, low-profile option and are committed to wearing them 20-22 hours a day.
Not sure which one is right for you? That's exactly what your free consultation is for. Our orthodontist will review your smile, discuss your goals, and help you find what works for you.
Cost of Orthodontic Treatment in New Haven
Orthodontic treatment costs vary based on the treatment type and the complexity of your case. Every smile is unique, so the exact price depends on the length of treatment and the appliances used. Here's how the main options generally compare on cost:
- Metal braces. Typically the most budget-friendly option
- Clear braces. A modest step up for a more discreet look
- Invisalign and clear aligners. Comparable to clear braces for most cases, depending on complexity
Is orthodontic treatment expensive? It depends on your case, but most treatment fits comfortably into a monthly payment plan once insurance and financing are factored in. Many families find treatment far more manageable than the total price suggests once it's broken down month to month.
What's the most budget-friendly option? Metal braces are typically the most budget-friendly, but the real savings come from combining insurance, in-house payment plans, and HSA/FSA dollars. During your free consult, we'll give you an exact quote and walk through every way to make treatment affordable.
Insurance & Financing Options
We accept most major dental insurance plans and offer several financing options to make treatment affordable. Your options include:
- Most major dental insurance plans accepted
- Interest-free in-house payment plans
- Third-party financing through CareCredit
- HSA and FSA accepted
- Complimentary insurance verification before you commit
Our team will handle the paperwork, verify your benefits, and give you a clear breakdown of what you'll owe out of pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Haven Orthodontics
How much do braces cost in New Haven?
Cost depends on the complexity of your case and the type of braces you choose, with Invisalign and clear aligners generally falling in a similar range to clear braces. Your exact cost is determined at your free consult, and we'll walk you through every financing option available.
What is the most budget-friendly way to get braces?
Metal braces are usually the most budget-friendly option in New Haven. The real savings come from combining your dental insurance benefits with our in-house interest-free payment plans and HSA/FSA dollars. We'll help you stack every available option to make treatment fit your budget.
What disqualifies you from getting braces?
Very few things truly disqualify someone from orthodontic treatment. Active gum disease, untreated cavities, or certain bone health concerns may need to be addressed first, but once your oral health is stable, most patients are excellent candidates. The best way to know for sure is a free consult with our orthodontist.
What ages do you treat?
We treat every age. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age seven, and we also welcome teens and adults. It's never too late to straighten your smile.

Most full orthodontic treatments take between 12 and 24 months, though timelines vary based on your specific needs. Simpler cases may finish faster, and more complex bites can take longer. Your orthodontist will give you a clear estimate at your first visit.
