Invisalign is a costly treatment no matter where you go. However, the cost is determined by a number of factors. Some are universal, while others are specific to your location, but they’re all listed here in full.
Condition Severity
This is the most important element in deciding pricing. A moderate instance of crowding or spacing requires less aligners and time than a severe case of crossbite. You’ll spend less if your teeth require fewer clinic visits and aligners. Your dentist/orthodontist may assess your teeth and give you an estimate of how long your treatment will take at your initial consultation.
Dentist or Orthodontist Experience
A seasoned dentist with a long track record of Invisalign success will frequently charge more than a newcomer who is just getting started with clear aligner treatment. So, in certain situations (but not always! ), you may have to choose between experience and money. If you have many dentists and orthodontists in your area, it may be beneficial to “shop around” to assess your alternatives.
Invisalign offers a tiered system of levels (ranging from bronze to platinum) that indicate a provider’s level of experience. When you search for providers on Invisalign’s website, the level of each dentist and orthodontist in your region will be shown.
