Invisalign is a popular new method using clear aligner trays for solving numerous types of tooth misalignments that otherwise can only be corrected by traditional metal braces. Many people prefer clear aligners because they are:
- More comfortable
- Less visible
- Removeable for cleaning
But one question many people ask about this orthodontic treatment is how much it will cost. The answer depends on numerous individualized factors for your particular treatment plan.
Factors Impacting Your Invisalign Treatment Details
The complexity of your treatment is the main factor behind the cost. If your teeth are only moderately twisted or misaligned, it will take fewer trays to straighten your smile. This also translates to fewer dental visits, which will also save money.
You also have a role in ensuring the best value for your Invisalign treatments. You must faithfully wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day. But some patients may neglect to wear them as long as directed, leading to longer treatment time and an increase in costs.
Finally, though we cannot generalize as to how much Invisalign will cost without considering your specific situation, the digital planning process does make Invisalign highly predictable. This is because your full series of aligners are produced when the process begins, so you can calculate a nearly exact number of weeks your treatment will require.
