Straighten your smile with Invisalign® clear aligners at Enamel. General & Cosmetic Dentistry, just minutes from John Wayne Airport.
Dr. Joseph Kabaklian, DMD, plans your treatment from a quick digital scan, shows you a 3D preview of how your teeth will move before you commit, and checks your progress in person until your new smile is done.
How much does Invisalign cost in Newport Beach?
On average, Invisalign costs between $3,000 and $7,000, depending on factors such as a few crowded front teeth, small gaps, or teeth that have shifted after braces.
You’ll know your exact fee before you start: we give it to you in writing at your consultation, along with what your insurance is likely to cover.
What moves the price
- How many teeth need to move, and how far: more movement means more aligners.
- Whether your bite needs correcting: bite changes usually take longer than straightening alone.
- Length of treatment: most cases take 6 to 18 months.
- Refinements: some cases need a few extra aligners at the end to perfect the result.
What’s typically included: your consultation and digital scan, your 3D treatment plan, all of your aligners, progress check-ups, and retainers when treatment ends.
What our patients say
Using insurance, HSA/FSA and financing
- PPO insurance: Many PPO plans include an orthodontic benefit that helps pay for Invisalign, and Invisalign reports some plans cover up to $3,000. We accept most PPO plans, including Delta Dental, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, Guardian, Aetna, United Concordia, Principal and Beam, and our team will check your orthodontic benefit for you.
- HSA and FSA: You can use pre-tax health savings or flexible spending dollars toward treatment.
- Monthly payments: We offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry and Sunbit, including no-interest options for approved applicants. Two of our three partners don’t require a hard credit check to apply.

Is Invisalign right for you?
Invisalign works best for teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing or bite issues, and for anyone whose teeth have shifted since wearing braces.
Because the aligners come out, you can eat what you like, brush and floss normally, and take them off for a big presentation or a wedding photo.
What it asks of you is consistency: wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day.
What Invisalign can treat
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Teeth that have shifted after braces
When we recommend something else
Invisalign isn’t the right answer for every smile, and we’ll tell you if it isn’t for yours.
If your teeth are already straight but chipped, worn or uneven in shape, cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers can get you there faster.
If you have a complex bite or jaw problem, Dr. K will refer you to an orthodontist he trusts.
Either way, you’ll leave your consultation with a clear, honest plan.
Your Invisalign treatment at Enamel, step by step
From your first scan to your final retainer, you’ll always know what comes next.
- Consultation and digital scan. Dr. K examines your teeth and gums, takes X-rays, and scans your teeth with a digital intraoral scanner. No goopy impressions. You’ll see a 3D model of your teeth on screen within seconds.
- Your 3D treatment plan. We map each tooth movement and show you a preview of your expected result, how many aligners you’ll need, and your exact fee in writing.
- Aligner fitting. When your aligners arrive, we place small tooth-colored attachments where needed to help them grip, check the fit, and show you how to wear and clean them.
- New aligners every week or two. Each set moves your teeth a little closer to the goal. Wear them 20 to 22 hours a day and take them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush.
- Quick check-ups about every 6 to 8 weeks. We make sure your teeth are tracking to plan. Evening appointments until 7 pm Tuesday through Thursday make these easy to fit around work.
- Refinements, if needed. Some smiles need a few extra aligners at the end to fine-tune the result.
- Retainers. Custom retainers keep your new smile in place. Most patients wear them at night long term.
Many patients notice a difference within a few months, and most finish in 6 to 18 months.

Life with Invisalign
Most people won’t notice your aligners, and you’ll get used to them quickly.
- Eating: Take your aligners out, eat whatever you like, brush, and pop them back in.
- Coffee and wine: Take your aligners out to drink anything other than water, so they don’t stain or trap sugar against your teeth.
- Comfort: Expect a day or two of pressure with each new set. That’s a sign your teeth are moving. There are no wires or brackets to rub your cheeks.
- Speech: Some people have a slight lisp for the first few days, and it usually fades quickly.
- Cleaning: Rinse your aligners and brush them gently every morning and night.
Finish your smile: whitening, bonding and veneers
Straight teeth are the foundation. Because Dr. K is also a cosmetic dentist, he can plan the finishing touches from the start. Many patients choose teeth whitening at the end of treatment to brighten the whole smile.
Others use cosmetic bonding to even out a chipped or worn edge once their teeth are aligned.
Straightening first can also mean you need fewer porcelain veneers later, or none at all, with less change to your natural teeth. If you do want veneers, conservative options like no-prep veneers and Neer Veneers leave your enamel intact.
It all happens in one office with one dentist.

- Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Invisalign cost at Enamel?
On average, Invisalign costs between $3,000 and $7,000. Your exact fee depends on how many teeth need to move and for how long, and we’ll give it to you in writing at your consultation. PPO orthodontic benefits, HSA/FSA funds and monthly financing through CareCredit, Cherry or Sunbit can all help.
Does my PPO insurance cover Invisalign?
Many PPO plans include an orthodontic benefit that applies to Invisalign, usually as a lifetime maximum. Some plans have age limits for adults. At Enamel, we accept most PPO plans, including Delta Dental, MetLife and Guardian, and we check your benefit before you start so there are no surprises.
How long does Invisalign treatment take for results?

Does Invisalign hurt?
You’ll feel some pressure for a day or two with each new set of aligners. That means your teeth are moving. Most people find it much more comfortable than braces, since there are no wires or brackets.
Can I eat or drink coffee with Invisalign?
Take your aligners out to eat and to drink anything other than water. Brush before you put them back in, so food and sugar don’t get trapped against your teeth.
Is a dentist or an orthodontist better for Invisalign?
For mild to moderate cases, a trained Invisalign provider who is a general dentist is a good choice.
