Is Invisalign worth it?
Quick answer
Is Invisalign worth the money?
For adults who want straighter teeth without visible braces, and who will wear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, Invisalign is usually worth it.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, and the result lasts with retainers. At York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet, typical treatment is £3,995 (from £2,995 to £4,495), with 0% finance over 12 months at £332.92 a month on a typical case, subject to status.
What you need to know
The advantages are that aligners are nearly invisible, removable for eating and brushing, and usually more comfortable than brackets. Most people need fewer emergency visits than with fixed braces because there is nothing to snap off.
The main drawback is discipline. Invisalign only works when the trays are in. If you know you will leave them out, fixed braces may be more predictable. Retainers are also a lifelong commitment, whichever system you choose.
Our Invisalign package includes unlimited aligners, whitening, and fixed and Vivera retainers. Many patients combine it with bonding for a complete result — see smile design packages, Invisalign cost and Invisalign in West Byfleet.
