How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The Invisalign website is evasive when it comes to revealing the cost of their clear aligners. In fact, you won’t find a price listed anywhere on their website. This is potentially because of how they tier the behind-the-scenes pricing for dentists and how providers can make up their own costs for Invisalign treatments.

Is Invisalign treatment right for me?

Clear aligners are a fast, affordable and more convenient way to straighten teeth compared to fixed orthodontic braces. Aligners are an ideal choice for fixing mild and moderate malocclusion including overbite/overjet, underbite, crossbite, gaps (diastema), narrow arches, rotated teeth, crowding and open bite. In most cases treatments last between 6-12 months, require fewer visits to the dentists. Aligners are removable meaning you can take them out to eat, speak, when playing sports or exercising. There is also no limit on what you can eat. These benefits make clear aligner treatments like Invisalign an attractive alternative to traditional orthodontics.

What you get with Invisalign treatment

In addition to aligners, many providers offer deals on supporting treatments including 3D scans, impressions or x-rays, Imaging and simulations, retainers and teeth whitening. The core offering across all providers remains the same:

• Face-to-face dental treatment: Visit your local provider to have scans, discuss treatments, for your first fitting and to adjust your treatment plan.
• Bespoke aligners: Custom made aligners trimmed to your gum-line to ensure a perfect and comfortable fit.
• Invisalign trained dentists: Your treatment will be managed by a dentist specifically trained in Invisalign best practice.

Can you get Invisalign on the NHS

Invisalign is not available on the NHS. Teeth straightening treatments are only available free of charge to children under 18 and is achieved using wired metal braces. Adults over 18 must arrange treatment at your own expense from a private provider.

FAQ

Am I suitable for Invisalign?

If your teeth and gums are healthy then Invisalign could help treat your teeth. Arrange a visit with a local provider to assess your teeth and identify the recommended treatment for you.

How long do I need to wear my aligners each day?

You should wear Invisalign aligners for 22 hours each day for an optimal treatment. Wear them while sleeping and during the day, removing to eat, drink, play sports and when going to the gym etc. Brush your teeth and rinse your aligner under clean water before reinserting.

Will I need to wear retainers after my treatment?

We recommend that retainers are worn up to 12 months after your aligner treatment has completed. This allows time for your gums to further heal and ensures your teeth remain straight.

Are Invisalign aligners comfortable?

Invisalign aligners are more comfortable to wear than metal braces. With both braces and aligners, you can experience some mild discomfort when first being used. This can be treated with over-the-counter pain killers and will eventually subside. Brace users will experience renewed discomfort each time they are tightened.

Is Invisalign worth it?

If you are self-conscious of your teeth and it is limiting your lifestyle then Invisalign and clear aligners could be worth the cost.
