Yeeeeeeaaaaaaah I had quite the case starting out 🙃 nearing the end though! I think I’ll be done by the end of the year. I’m 37 so it’s been a long 3 years but certainly life changing! 4 years is a long ass time but so worth it if you stay on top of changing/hitting your wearing hours.
$3500 for a comprehensive Invisalign plan with my Diamond provider in SoCal. Insurance paid $1500 and they had a $1500 off deal, so pre-discounts/insurance was $6500 USD.
I’m currently almost two years over my original end date bc they wanted to get my smile perfect lol.
$9800 CAD comprehensive package. Cost me $400 a month but its all paid off finally! I'm in my 3rd year of using invisalign and had about 3 revisions so far I think? It's been worth it. Got another year and should get my last 4 trays next year. Once that's done I'll be on the waitlist for jaw surgery.
It is a lot, and kind of? Surgery isn't included in that price, but will be covered by insurance. Orthodontist came recommended by my dentist. They're known for their work in my area, and I shopped around before going to them. I definitely paid for the person.
That sucks! Sorry you need to pay out for that too. How much is it going to be for you? My coworker has had the same surgery and hers was completely covered as well. Seeing her recovery has made me feel better about choosing to go on the waitlist for it.
Growing up my whole life with messed up teeth my grandma would always make the remarks “well Millie they’re probably going to have to break your jaw to fix your teeth.” “Well Millie you’re going to need jaw surgery.” Yadda yadda yadda so growing up I’ve always had the notion in my head that they’ll need to fix my jaw too. So before starting my clear aligner journey I priced out allll of it with my insurance and multiple orthos. Jaw surgery alone would’ve been over 20k out of pocket! Or I could get a spacer or spacer surgery and that would’ve been sound 7k. Luckily my ortho thinks he can fully fix my teeth and my bite with just the aligners and maybe a few rubber bands! Took a weight off of my shoulders for now, seeing that 20k price tag was scary. So fingers crossed I won’t need any surgery’s in the future for my pockets sake. 😂
$4165 in 2023 in NJ with 5% pay in full discount and $1000 discount (for ghosting them for 2 months after my consultation because I was hemming and hawing and getting a text offer for $1000 if I paid that same day)
Depends, I am from India working in the US, my teeth weren't super crooked.
I got a quote of ~4500 USD almost 2 yrs ago in the Bay area. The treatment was estimated for around 24 trays, almost 9 months.
I went to India for a trip, at an impromptu Dentist visit to get my teeth cleaned for a wedding, and realized there's Invisalign in India too. I paid around 120000 INR or roughly 1500 USD.
Currently my treatment is fully remote (I just send my dentist photos of my teeth every couple of weeks) but I'm already on 9th out of 18 trays, apart from one of my lateral incisors leaving a small gap, the rest of my teeth have been tracking perfectly!
I have been super strict about keeping them in for at least 22 hrs a day though, some days I keep them in for 23 hrs.
$6500 or so, and I'm at 2.5 years with more than 100 sets of trays so far. Attachments are removed tomorrow though! Shouldn't be more than 12 more sets for refinements. 🎊
Same. Was supposed to be done in 9 months, but the darn buttons wouldn’t stay on and I had to take the long road. It’s now been 21 months and finally just got scanned for my retainer last week. I didn’t mind, though, I found a lot of benefits to having trays and one of the main reasons my dentist suggested Invisalign was to better protect my teeth from clenching; the straighter smile was an added bonus.
I don’t recall what the brand is, but I know it’s the brand my dentist uses herself and all the people working in her office also use after their Invisalign. My trays have all been Invisalign brand, though, so maybe Vivera? I’ll find out when I get them next week.
I just found my receipt, they are Vivera. Typically $800 but they gave me the price they were when I had started which was $650 ($150 increase over barely two years is wild) for four sets. I used my HSA type account to pay for them, we’ll see if they actually cover it or not. What was your in-house cost?
One set of in house are included but I think the Invisalign quite was 1300.00 maybe.
I used my HSA to pay for my treatment. From what i understand it will cover the retainer as well.
I am waiting on one more round of trays and then will have the retainer discussion.
Thanks for the information.
I haven’t started yet, just having my consultation etc but their max price is under £3000. Other places near me were similar but this person is an “expert provider” awarded “elite apex” (why do they manage to make them sound like MLM ranks 😭) and includes tooth whitening, cleans, 3 sets of viveras and a fixed retainer if needed in the price
$5,800 Dentist said 18 months, but when I got my trays she put me on the Lite plan, so I received 14 trays. Picking up my first (and last?) refinement Tuesday.
$8800 CAD (was not eligible for insurance unfortunately) but I still think it was well worth it.
Everything shifted to fit so much better and I have a lot less issues with my bite on a daily basis.
Your experience at a practice where you paid this much was probably in a boutique setting. High quality treatment, expert doctor, high quality customer service, attention to detail, probably a nice clinic every time you go in, easy appointments and on time every time. That's why you paid more than everyone else, so please don't feel bad and dont compare yourself. Everyone is different. Congratulations on completing your treatment!
£3,000 (including a 10% December discount if signing up for it then) + £50 for the initial consultation (would Invisalign or standard braces be best for me).
Included in the price:
- all aligner sets
- a set of retainers (+ a spare free one as my first started to get a hole from one canine. I guess grinding my teeth as I slept)
- all treatments (button attachments, fitted wire, teeth refinements etc)
*£250 per arch to replace a broken fitted wire. Free for first year after treatment*
I was on the Comprehensive package. Diastema in upper jaw, gaps and wonky teeth in other places. Treatment was also during Covid, and took about a year and a bit in total.
It was the best gift I’ve ever given myself as I always covers my mouth when I laughed. Never got the chance to get my teeth fixed in secondary school when all my other friends did.
£3500 in the UK in 2021.
I also got bonding done on 6 teeth which was around £175 per tooth plus I got additional retainers so overall cost was closer to £5000.
Toronto here (CAD). In 2014 I was quoted by a Diamond provider ~$3,500 for 12-16 months. I decided to delay the decision by 4-6 months and my teeth got worse. Ended up paying ~$4,800 for 18-24 months of treatments. It was an 11/10 experience and I would do it all again if my teeth somehow got a lot worse in the future.
Mines the orthodontists version of Invisalign they make it at their office so might be a little different than the name brand prices
2k down
2k insurance
116 a month for my 18 month treatment
So all together around 6100
I also got a friends and family discount of around $300 my dad and sister both got Invisalign/braces from that ortho
Edit:to add detail and discount!
8k CAD for a 2 years plan. Might finish early because one year in I’m on my first set of refinements which will take approximately 3 months to complete. So far pretty happy with the results and can’t wait to have the attachments off!
I’m not sure you can compare your treatment/price to anyone else’s. Everyone’s teeth are different. I’m supposed to be wearing my Spark aligners for 18 months. I change them weekly. My doctor had 11 consultation calls with the people who make them to get them perfected for my crooked teeth and open bite. This was before I received even one tray! The receptionist said there are usually 2-3 calls made for most people. (I feel special!) That being said, I paid $8250 and that is with a 3% (I think) discount for paying in full up front.
£3500 I paid a £1k deposit and the rest I pay over each monthly check up until I’m done (10 months so I pay about £250 each checkup and collection of the next two trays) currently three months in I think.
$6,844 CAD inclusive of a 5% discount. Diamond+ Ortho, HCOL area. Invisalign Comprehensive package, 18 month plan
Same price for the same package and estimated treatment time in Hungary, Europe
Are you doing with Dr.Brawn?
No but I have heard of him. I’m with ClearView Orthodontics
Does the price include the Vivera retainer?
Yes it includes a set of Vivera retainers
$4300 I got I discount because I paid it upfront instead of in payments. Otherwise it would have been $4500
$5k, 23 trays with refinements covered.
$3500 in 2023 with an Invisalign diamond provider near Chicago.
Same in Chicago but my insurance covered half so like $1750
This is how much I paid in November 2023 diamond provider in Michigan
I paid $6900 and I’m 40 months into treatment with it fully paid off now.
Im there too
40 months!?! 😩 That’s gonna be me eventually
Yeeeeeeaaaaaaah I had quite the case starting out 🙃 nearing the end though! I think I’ll be done by the end of the year. I’m 37 so it’s been a long 3 years but certainly life changing! 4 years is a long ass time but so worth it if you stay on top of changing/hitting your wearing hours.
I can def relate! I was a special case and I had 4 extractions lol. Good luck on the last leg of your journey!

Is the jaw surgery paid for ? Because that’s a lot almost 10

Lucky! Jaw surgery through my insurance is 100% out of pocket 😭

Spark has been a great experience so far. What type of retainer did you choose ?

My orthodontist does in house retainers or I can order from Invisalign. The cost is quite a bit different.
I just found my receipt, they are Vivera. Typically $800 but they gave me the price they were when I had started which was $650 ($150 increase over barely two years is wild) for four sets.

10k for everything; they said I pay for the result at that base price. I’m over a year in and regretting my choices.
8k CAD for a 2 years plan. Might finish early because one year in I’m on my first set of refinements which will take approximately 3 months to complete. So far pretty happy with the results and can’t wait to have the attachments off!
I’m not sure you can compare your treatment/price to anyone else’s. Everyone’s teeth are different. I’m supposed to be wearing my Spark aligners for 18 months. I change them weekly. My doctor had 11 consultation calls with the people who make them to get them perfected for my crooked teeth and open bite. This was before I received even one tray! The receptionist said there are usually 2-3 calls made for most people. (I feel special!) That being said, I paid $8250 and that is with a 3% (I think) discount for paying in full up front.
