As for the straightening of teeth, more people prefer an alternative to traditional braces and turn to Invisalign. It is discreet and easy to use in the routine of life. However, the most frequent question asked by people is: What is the cost of Invisalign? Visage Orthodontics Aberdeen believes in things that are clear and fair. If you are considering Invisalign for yourself, it is an important first step to understand the cost of treatment.
What is Invisalign?
Let us take a look at what Invisalign is. Invisalign is one of many orthodontic treatments. It uses a set of clear aligners, which is removable, in straightening your teeth over time. The aligners are composed of smooth plastic and moulded to fit your teeth. They are changed about once a week or so and each new set will shift your teeth a little bit more. The process is monitored by your orthodontist since they monitor your progress throughout the process.
What is most attractive for many people is the fact that the Invisalign aligners are almost invisible. As opposed to metal braces, they are invisible and do not stick out which is a definite plus especially among adults and teens who may feel self-conscious about misplaced braces.
Is Invisalign Worth It?
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
There are some factors of cost variation if we talk about Invisalign cost but at Visage Orthodontics in Aberdeen, we try to make it easy. Invisalign treatment for the most of the cases varies between £2, 000 and £5, 000.
What Affects the Cost?
1. Complexity of the Case
Not all smiles are the same. Some people only need minor adjustments to straighten slightly crooked teeth. Others may have bite issues or more complex alignment problems. The more work that’s needed, the more aligners you’ll require, and that affects the overall cost.
2. Length of Treatment
Invisalign treatment can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Shorter periods of treatment have a lower cost, while longer periods of treatment have a higher cost.
3. Type of Invisalign Plan
Invisalign has treatment plans that are based on your needs.
Invisalign i7 or Express: Suitable for very minor cases! Generally only a few aligners are required. The costs usually range from roughly £1,500 to £2,000.
Invisalign Lite: Suitable for a slightly more involved case. Costs are normally in the regions of £2,500 to £3,500.
Invisalign Comprehensive: Suitable for someone needing full treatment. Costs are between £3,500 and £5,000.
4. Experience of Your Orthodontist
The experience of your orthodontist also plays a part too! Also, at Visage Orthodontics Aberdeen, you will be in expert care because we only practise orthodontics and create individualised treatment plans for your smile.
What’s Included in the Price?
At Visage Orthodontics Aberdeen we want to be clear, no hidden extras. When you start your Invisalign treatment with us the price includes
- A full consultation and digital scan of your teeth
- A personalised treatment plan
- All the Invisalign aligners needed to complete treatment
- Routine progress checks
- Any refinements needed (extra aligners if required)
- Fixed retainers and removable retainers at the end of treatment to keep that new smile in place.
Is Invisalign More Expensive Than Braces?
Traditional metal braces usually cost between £2,000 and £4,000. Invisalign may cost a bit more. But, many find the comfort and ease of Invisalign worth the extra cost. Some people prefer the nearly invisible aligners every day, especially at work or school, and choose Invisalign even if it costs a bit more.
Can I spread the cost?
Absolutely. Visage Orthodontics Aberdeen understands that cost could be a problem, and therefore, several payment methods are available to make life easier.
Interest-Free Payment Plans: We have flexible monthly payments to enable you to pay without having to pay in full at once.
Deposit Options: You can decide in what way you want to pay for your initial deposit if you want to reduce your monthly payments.
Family Discounts: For more than one family member under treatment, we might be able to provide discounts.
Is Invisalign available on the NHS?
Mostly, Invisalign is not free on the NHS. NHS orthodontic treatment is generally suitable for children under 18 years of age who match some conditions in dental health, and frequently involves fixed metal braces. Grown-ups, or people who would like Invisalign, would require the private treatment. We try to keep prices low and find means of making payments easier.
Is It Worth the Price?
That’s an individual decision but most of our patients say that their self confidence improves with a straighter smile. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign does not pose problems in cleanliness of teeth, since one can remove the aligners and brush- up and clean your teeth properly. You will also not have to worry about such issues as food limits, broken wires, or monthly emergency appointments. Many patients also report feeling more comfortable both socially and professionally through the treatment, but this is difficult to put a price tag on.
Many people come and share with us their concern at the onset when they felt that the cost involved was scary, but after they see the results and they undergo the treatment, they feel that it was one of the best decisions they made for themselves, or their kids. It’s not like you are just investing in the straightening of your teeth but instead you are investing more in better oral health and in the form of more confidence.
