Is Invisalign Cheaper Than Braces? Your Updated Guide (2023)

SMILE CONCEPTS

Invisalign Orthodontics is a popular alternative to consider for those with crooked teeth who want to have the smile they’ve always wanted but don’t like the look of traditional braces. However, there are times when traditional braces might be the better option.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

A comparison graphic of braces and Invisalign at Smile Concepts, Sydney. We offer both orthodontic solutions to suit your lifestyle. Whether you prefer the reliability of traditional braces or the discretion of clear aligners, we have you covered. Our expert team assesses your teeth to recommend the most effective treatment. Trust Smile Concepts to guide you toward the best option for achieving a straighter, healthier smile that boosts your confidence.

Invisalign trays are easier to clean and care for than traditional metal braces because they are removable. This reduces the likelihood of dental decay and gum inflammation during your therapy. It also allows you to maintain your present diet because there is no equipment to break or bend.

 

Because each tray set is worn for roughly two weeks, you’ll swap them out in the comfort of your own home. To pick up your next series of aligners, you only need to visit our Smile Concepts in Sydney location every 4-6 weeks. This saves you time and money!

 

The precise tooth movement is planned out digitally, so you can expect long-term results rather than monthly “adjustments” or having your braces “tightened,” as with traditional procedures. As a result, the majority of our Sydney Invisalign patients find the treatment to be rather pleasant.

When To Choose Braces

Braces and Invisalign act on teeth in essentially the same way. They both apply pressure to crucial areas of your smile to bring it into uniform alignment. Both techniques are regarded as successful orthodontic methods by the majority of dentists and orthodontists.

Braces provide a more consistent influence on all of the teeth in the mouth. They are sometimes more powerful than Invisalign and can treat exceedingly difficult cases. In fact, braces can even pull teeth up or down to achieve the proper height. Invisalign is somewhat more limited in this regard.

When to Choose Invisalign

The cost varies based on case complexity, and we provide a detailed quote during your consultation. We offer flexible payment plans to make your dream smile affordable. Trust Smile Concepts for honest financial advice and high-value Invisalign packages that deliver exceptional results without hidden costs.

Invisalign is the clear winner when it comes to comfort. While you’ll still need to wear the transparent retainers virtually constantly to see the effects, you can remove them for simple cleaning and mealtimes.

Invisalign is also ideal for rapidly and quietly resolving cosmetic concerns in your front teeth. It’s a more suitable option for teeth that have relapsed after traditional orthodontic treatment.

Which One Is More Expensive?

Depending on the complexity of the case, braces tend to start at $4,500, and a full Invisalign treatment averages between $3,500 to $9,000. 

While private insurance companies may cover some of the associated costs, our interest-free payment plan options allow you to enjoy affordable braces at $60 per week or Invisalign at $40 per week. Since treatment times for both methods are varied, Dr Shah will discuss your specific treatment terms before pricing.
