What impacts on the cost of Invisalign?

When it comes to seeking orthodontic treatment in adult life, it is important to know what can impact the costs.

Many dental patients have the assumption that using a newer, invisible aligner will be more expensive than using a traditional, metal brace when it comes to straightening their teeth. While this is rarely the case, it is worth being aware of the factors that can impact the final bill of your treatment with an invisible aligner, so you know where your money is going.

At Clear Braces Direct, we believe in being completely transparent with our patients about Invisalign cost London and will be more than happy to break down the itinerary of the treatment, so you can assess the costs before you commit to it. There is no obligation!

 But what are some of the things that we have found impact on Invisalign cost London?

 Read on to find out!

Condition or severity

As this invisible aligner has become better at treating complex cases, it is now likely that more complicated cases of dental misalignment can be corrected using it.

But the complexity or severity of the condition does indeed play a part in the final Invisalign cost London.

Why? Because the complexity will impact how long you will need to wear the aligners and will have a bearing on the treatment and potential adjustments that will need to be made during the dental realignment.

Expertise

More and more dentists around the world are becoming trained at using invisible aligners and the expertise of your dentist can indeed impact the final cost.

Our team at the practice has had more than half a decade working with this aligner and knows all there is to know about how to use it, potential complications and how to deal with any issues that may arise. This ensures that all of your needs are met by our team and that will play a part in the final costs.

Retainers

As is the way with any dental realignment procedure, you will need to wear retainers afterwards to prevent your teeth from moving back into their previous positions.

When you come to Clear Braces Direct for clear aligners, the first retainer is an additional cost but if it becomes lost or you fail to use it and your teeth revert, then additional costs will potentially be added to the final bill.

So, as the way with the aligners, keep your retainers in!

Adjustments

When we talk about adjustments relating to invisible aligners, we do not mean them in the way that they are meant with traditional braces. When you send us your selfie once a week, we may need to make adjustments to the order of the aligners or we may need to add new aligners into the process to better align your teeth. This will be necessary and will add to the final bill price.

Commitment!

You have to be committed to wearing these aligners for a minimum of 22 hours per day to gain the best results. Failure to do so may result in your orthodontic treatment stalling or reverting, which will delay the process and potentially add to the cost of the treatment.
