What determines the cost of Invisalign in London?
If your dentist has recommended teeth straightening to avoid oral health issues, or if you simply want to straighten your teeth for a better appearance, Invisalign might be a viable solution for you. But how much does Invisalign actually cost and is it a better choice than getting braces?
The cost of Invisalign in London will vary depending on the complexity of your tooth problems, the number of aligner trays needed and the coverage your dental insurance provides. Dr Graham Tinkler will examine your teeth thoroughly and create a detailed and all-inclusive treatment plan for your individual needs. The typical cost of Invisalign in London starts from £1995, with the end price depending on the complexity and the length of treatment.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative teeth straightening method that is very different from the traditional set of metal braces. Invisalign uses a set of clear, removable, plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth over a short period of time. These aligners are created with the help of 3D technology to allow your dentist monitor your progress from the beginning of the treatment. Wearing the aligners for 7-10 days before moving to the next set in the series, will gradually move your teeth into the correct position. Treatment usually takes up to one year for most adults.
Is Invisalign worth the cost?
If you have talked to your dentist about Invisalign and braces to straighten your teeth, you may already know that the two treatments may cost about the same, depending on your needs. However, Invisalign can be more cost-effective compared to conventional braces.
Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, comfortable, clear plastic, and fit snugly over your teeth. Treatment with Invisalign eliminates the problem of metal wires rubbing and even cutting into your mouth. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners do not require frequent adjustments and you will only need to visit the dentist once or twice a month. Last but not least, if the idea of metal brackets and wires causes your confidence to waver, Invisalign aligners can save you this added psychological cost too.
