Clear aligners such as Invisalign are one way to straighten teeth. Before starting, most people want to know what it is likely to cost.
What affects the fee?
- Case complexity: minor crowding needs fewer aligners than a full bite correction.
- Number of aligners and refinements: packages differ in how many aligners and refinement sets are included.
- Preparatory treatment: fillings, cleans or other treatment may be needed first.
- Retainers: check whether retainers are included in your quote.
Aligners or braces?
Fees for aligners and fixed braces can be similar or differ depending on the case. Cost is only one factor; your dentist will explain which option is more suitable and predictable for your bite.
Health funds and payment plans
Some health funds contribute to orthodontic treatment, depending on your level of cover and any waiting periods or limits. Interest-free payment plans are available for eligible patients.
Getting a quote
An accurate fee can only be given after an assessment. You should receive a written quote before treatment begins. Read more about orthodontics and Invisalign.
