invisaligncost.net runs on a single byline. Naomi Foster researches every figure on this site and writes the guide you're reading it in; nobody else touches the copy before it publishes.
Naomi Foster
Contributing Writer, Healthcare
Naomi covers what Invisalign actually costs by case type, how an orthodontic insurance benefit changes the number, what monthly financing runs, and where Invisalign Teen differs from the adult version. She writes on healthcare pricing across several sites in the Encore Editorial network and is not an orthodontist, general dentist, or any other clinician; nothing she publishes tells a reader whether their own teeth are a good fit for clear aligners; that answer only comes from an in-person exam.
Her sourcing starts with published US orthodontic and dental fee data and Align Technology's own disclosed pricing tiers, cross-checked before a figure goes into the calculator or a guide. Where the research behind a claim, a treatment timeline, a compliance-tracking feature, an aligner-count average, is thinner than she'd like, she flags that directly instead of rounding it into a confident number. The sourcing process is laid out in full on our editorial standards page.

Why there's only one name here
We don't credit guides to a house account or an anonymous panel of "dental experts" to make the site sound bigger than it is. If a second writer ever joins, their name goes on what they wrote, same as Naomi's does now.
