Will Invisalign be expensive? A guide to the cost broken down

It is something that has happened to almost everyone; you have purchased a service, such as having a new bathroom fitted, only to find that the end cost was much higher than you thought it would be. Not good!

When you are looking for a solution to having your teeth straightened or any other cosmetic dental procedure, you will likely want to know where your money is going, especially when it comes to investing in a newer and more advanced type of treatment.

At Spa Dental, if you are looking to have your teeth straightened using Invisalign Sydney, our dental team will be happy to answer any questions you have, explain the process and provide you with information relating to additional costs and what is required for you to get the best looking smile that you can.

So, when it comes to having Invisalign Sydney fitted, what is involved in the cost of standard treatment? Read on to find out.

Materials

The materials used to create Invisalign Sydney are typically more expensive than those used for traditional metal braces. Invisible aligners are made from a clear plastic material, such as the patented SmartTrack material, which is designed to fit snugly around your teeth. The materials used for traditional metal braces, on the other hand, are typically made of stainless steel or other metals, which are less expensive.

Technology

The technology used to create invisible aligners is also a major factor in the overall cost. Invisible aligners are created using advanced 3D imaging and computer-aided design (CAD) technology, which allows for precise, custom-fitted aligners that can be tailored to each patient’s unique needs. This technology is expensive to develop and maintain, which adds to the cost of the aligners.

Labour

The process of creating invisible aligners requires a significant amount of labour, including the initial consultation with our dentist or orthodontist, the creation of the 3D digital models, and the manufacturing and shipping of the aligners. All of these steps require skilled professionals, which contributes to the overall cost.

Treatment complexity

Finally, the overall cost of invisible aligners can depend on the complexity of the treatment needed to correct your dental alignment. More severe cases may require longer treatment times and more aligners, which can increase the overall cost. Or, you may find yourself in a position where we may decide to use invisible aligners as part of a larger treatment plan. For instance, you may need to have your teeth straightened with a fitted brace first, and then for the final touches, we may decide to use invisible aligners. As this process will take longer, it will likely cost more.

Appointments

While one of the main benefits of having invisible aligners fitted is that they do not require altering or tightening, if you have a complicated case, it is likely that you will need to see our team more. So, we will need to charge more for these appointments. But don’t worry! When you have that gorgeous smile, it will all be worth it, and we can also offer payment and financing options to our suitable patients to help you spread the cost.

DISCLAIMER

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
