What are the costs of braces or Invisalign?

Whilst each dentist charges differently, there are a few things to consider before embarking on the path to getting braces or Invisalign. It’s not just the dental attachments that cost the money, there is a lot of pre-planning and on-going maintenance that incurs a cost. Some things to consider before budgeting for dental repair:

• The initial appointment. This will be charged at the dentist’s normal hourly rate and will allow you to discuss various options. Some people are determined to avoid braces, particularly in adulthood. However Invisalign only works in certain cases. So it’s essential to sit down with your dentist and listen to their thoughts on the best process required to achieve your dream result.
• X-rays and molds. Once you decide that you’re going to go ahead with braces or Invisalign, then the dentist will make an appointment to take X-rays of your mouth and design a mold to work from. This allows them to plan the coming months and ensure that they achieve the desired movement of your teeth. This is often an unexpected cost, as X-rays aren’t cheap, and it is usually separate to the quote for braces or Invisalign themselves.
• On-going check ups. This will depend on the procedure you choose and your dentist’s desired involvement. But both braces and Invisalign will require regular check ups to ensure that the teeth are moving in the right direction. Most dentists will include this in the cost of the treatment, but it’s very important to clarify that beforehand so you’re not faced with expensive bills for each new appointment.

They’re specialists in their field and will not only advise the safest way to repair your smile, but also give you guidance on what will work best for your specific circumstances.

Invisalign versus Braces

Braces

• Metal braces will often achieve the end result faster.
• Braces have been around for a long time, therefore history tells us that they’re definitely effective in the long term.
• Braces are better suited for more extreme tooth movement.

Invisalign

• Clear aligners definitely look better. This is a major appeal amongst adult customers.
• You can remove your aligners at any time. Whether it’s for a social event or just to eat a tricky meal.
• Invisalign is available at a number of different dental practices, not just at an orthodontists.
