So, what are some of the most common myths associated with invisible aligners, particularly Invisalign cost London? Read on to find out and to learn the truth.

Myth 1- Invisible aligners are more expensive than braces

This is one of the most common myths about invisible aligners, and one that prevents many patients from seeking them out as a treatment. When it comes to Invisalign cost London, many things must be factored in. Including how long you will wear the aligners, how often you will need dental appointments with our team (which we will aim to keep low) and if any replacement aligners are needed. With standard braces, the treatment often works out as more pricey due to extensive trips to the orthodontist for braces tightening, and of course, the length of wear.

Myth 2- Online options are better and cheaper

Technically, yes, some online aligners are cheaper than those we can offer at our practice. However, this comes along with the added issues that a lack of dental supervision can lead to, creating problems during the realignment process.

Myth 3- Add-ons are always required

Add-ons during your realignment process with invisible aligners are not always needed. And our team will only recommend them if we feel they can get you the straighter smile you want in a shorter period. So don’t worry! This isn’t a low-cost package where the add-ons create a higher fee.

Myth 4- Invisible aligners need more dental check-ups

Because invisible aligners do not require tightening, there are fewer dental check-ups, which will keep the price down. We do ask that you send in a weekly photograph of your smile via the app, so our team can assess how the treatment is going.

Myth 5- Dentists always choose this option as it is pricier

We choose this treatment for our patients to provide a more affordable service and one that will get your teeth straightened quickly, with as little inconvenience as possible. So no, we do not choose this as an option because it will cost you more.
