Cost of aligners usually vary depending on its brand. Few top brands of aligners now trending are Invisalign, ClearCorrect and SureSmile.
For smaller corrections invisible aligners can cost you around 60k to 90k. Depending on the severity of correction, pricing can go up to 3 lakhs. Out of the above mentioned top three brands, invisalign is slightly overpriced because the brand 3D prints their aligners that fits snugly onto your teeth as compared to ClearCorrect and SureSmile that prints the 3D models of your teeth and then adapts the aligners. But these 3D models do not take your tooth’s unpredictable movements into consideration. If you are searching for more affordable alternatives to invisalign you can surely go for brands like ClearCorrect, and SureSmile.
Let’s now look at the factors that affect the cost of your invisible aligners:
- Material of your invisible aligner
- The complexity of your tooth’s alignment
- Duration of your treatment
- Retainers
- Additional costs to consider
Here’s a small read about each of these in brief to help you understand better; Material of your invisible aligner: Material of your invisible aligner: The material used for the fabrication of your invisible aligners can affect its cost. As, higher the quality of the material used, higher is the cost of your invisible aligners. The materials with which aligners are made play a critical role in their appearance. The primarily used materials are BPA- free plastic, thermoplastic polyurethane and medical grade polyurethane resin. From multilayered to crack resistant features, the material choice can impact the cost of your invisible aligners.
The complexity of your teeth’s misalignment: The cost of treatment tends to be higher if you have a severe teeth misalignment problem such as severely misaligned problems such as severely crooked or rotated teeth, or severe bite misalignment problems. With the latest advancements in the variety of aligner options you can now use aligners with special preferences, now we also have aligners that help you fix your front six teeth without needing to correct others. In cases with spacing and mild corrections such aligners are usually suitable. These aligners are pocket friendly and offer you fast results in a low budget.
Duration of your treatment: Usually treatment duration with aligners last for a few months but sometimes due to the severity of the problem, the treatment may take longer which can influence your overall treatment cost.
Retainers: To retain your properly aligned teeth at their newly corrected positions, your dentist will provide you a set of retainers, to maintain and stabilize your newly aligned teeth. Just like your aligners the cost of retainers also vary depending on its material, strength and brands.
Additional costs to consider:
Other factors that add to your treatment cost with aligners are; the cost of your dentist’s consultation, your x-rays, scans and impressions. Apart from these all throughout your treatment with invisible aligners you will need to invest in your dental care products such as toothbrushes, water flossers, mouthwashes for good oral health.
About the procedure for your invisible aligners:
It is always good for you to understand the procedure that you are about to undergo. This helps you to make an informed decision and not only this but also makes you more at ease during the procedure. It consists of the following steps;
1. Consultation: The first step is the consultation with an orthodontist. Our expert orthodontist will examine your teeth and jaws and access your case.
Our professionals will then take a 3D x-ray of your jaws and scan your mouth using intraoral digital scanners.
2. Treatment planning: Based on your 3D x-rays and intraoral scans the dentist will now use a 3D software to completely evaluate your case and prepare your smile design. He will then plan your treatment cost and time. And also explain to you an estimated predictable outcome based on your case. After all the assessments are made your scans will be sent to the dental lab for custom fabrication of your invisible aligners.
3. Invisible aligners delivery: After the fabrication of your custom made aligners you will be called to collect your aligners set from your dentist. Your dentist will advise you the instructions that you need to follow regarding your aligners maintenance for a successful treatment outcome.
4. Wearing your aligners: You will be advised to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day. You can only remove them while eating and brushing your teeth.
5. Regular monitoring of your treatment progress: You will be called for regular follow ups by your dentist. This will allow your dentist to keep a close check on your treatment progress and overall health of your oral cavity while on aligners.
6. Finishing treatment with retainers: After completion of your treatment you will be provided with a set of clear retainers which you have to wear for a certain duration of time so as to retain your aligned teeth in their newly corrected positions. Initially you will have to wear them full time, then switch to just the nighttime wear. Your orthodontist will explain all of this at the time of your retainer delivery.
