The cost of Invisalign treatment varies depending on your individual needs and the complexity of the tooth movements required.
At Alderley Dental, Invisalign treatment typically ranges from approximately $X to $X. This is intended as a general guide only, as your individual treatment cost can only be confirmed after your teeth, bite and treatment requirements have been assessed.
During your consultation, we’ll explain the treatment options that may be appropriate for you, the expected timeframe and the associated costs before you decide whether you’d like to proceed.
What affects the cost of Invisalign?
Several factors can influence the overall cost of Invisalign treatment.
- The complexity of your case: Some patients may only require relatively minor tooth movement, while others may need more extensive treatment to address crowding, spacing or bite concerns. Generally, more complex cases require a more involved treatment plan.
- Your individual treatment plan: Invisalign isn’t an off-the-shelf product. Your dentist assesses your teeth and creates an individual treatment plan designed around the movements required to achieve your treatment goals. This is why an accurate Invisalign price can’t usually be provided without first assessing your smile.
- Treatment duration: The amount of time you need to wear Invisalign aligners varies between patients. Your dentist will explain the expected treatment timeframe after assessing your teeth and developing your treatment plan.
Is Invisalign more expensive than braces?
Not necessarily. According to Invisalign Australia, Invisalign treatment is typically comparable in cost to braces, although the actual cost of either treatment depends on the individual case.
Price also shouldn’t be the only consideration. Invisalign aligners are removable and designed to be discreet, which can make them an attractive option for adults and teenagers who would prefer to straighten their teeth without conventional brackets and wires.
The best way to compare your options is to have your teeth assessed and discuss which treatment is suitable for you.
Does private health insurance cover Invisalign?
It may, depending on your level of cover. Some Australian private health insurance policies with appropriate extras or orthodontic cover may contribute towards orthodontic treatment. The amount available depends on your individual policy, waiting periods, limits and health fund.
Before beginning treatment, it’s worth contacting your health fund to find out exactly what orthodontic benefits may be available to you.
Don’t choose Invisalign based on price alone
When comparing Invisalign providers in Brisbane, it’s understandable to look at price. However, you’re not simply buying a set of clear aligners. Your treatment involves professional assessment, planning and ongoing supervision of the movement of your teeth.
Consider the experience of the dental team, what’s included in the proposed treatment, how your progress will be monitored and what happens if your treatment needs adjusting. Make sure you understand exactly what’s included before comparing one Invisalign quote with another.
