Average Cost Of Invisalign
I would like to know if my orthodontist is average priced and I think it would be a great forum topic for all invisalign users to post the cost and term of their treatment. We can then average it out, once we have at least a dozen trial.
I'll go first: 14 Months - $4,600

Remember that where you are will impact the pricing too. I don't just mean from one country to another, but also city to city within the same country. This is because some portion of your fees will be for your orthodontist's time and expenses (as opposed to the Invisalign fees that he is passing along to you) and these will vary depending on his fixed costs, which in turn are impacted by the local economy. For example, an orthodontist in downtown Manhattan might have higher rent and utilities, and will need to pay higher wages to his staff than one who is based in a small town in the Midwest.

You perhaps misunderstood the reason behind my question. Invisalign Express is essentially the same as Invisalign. Basically Invisalign Express offers a different pricing structure than "full" Invisalign, and is intended for those most simple cases which will require 10 or fewer aligners (per arch, I believe). Unlike "full" Invisalign, no refinemnets are built into the basic cost for Invisalign Express. Anyway, I mentioned it because, obviously, the pricing structure for Invisalign Express is different than that for Invisalign, and your case (with 10 trays) seemed like it might be an Express case.

I agree that it isn't feasible to compare costs based on such a large geographic area of samples.
That being said, I think I'm in the $6000 range for what will be approximately a 2 year treatment (I hope), 38 trays top and bottom. That does not include the extractions.

I have been in contact with about 10 different Invisalign orthodontists. They all had a price range which was usually between the £3000 and £4000 mark, depending on your case and how severe. They couldn't give me a set price until I went for a consultation. Most of these were in London, I wasn't prepared to travel that far to then be told that I would be a case that would need to pay £4000! So I contacted the last Invisalign orthodontist on my list (then I was going to give up). I was expecting to get the same response. They said they charge £2400 at a set price for Invisalign treatment. This includes retainers, whitening and any refinements. So, of course, I went for it! It's not only the price I am happy with. It's their manner too. When I contacted the other places they weren't that interested... they sounded as if they were trying to sell that first appointment to me, to get me in. This orthodontist sounds very kind and genuine and very helpful. They are very willing to answer any questions you have, either over the phone or by email. I also think he is now the largest single provider of Invisalign in the UK... so that's why they can charge £2400. I think they get a 40% discount from Invisalign, which is then passed straight onto the patient! Can't ask for fairer than that! (£1400 deposit once aligners arrive, then a payment of £70 - £100 per month for the next 14 months (that's interest free). Last edited by IHIC; 10-24-2008 at 05:11 PM.

Hey guys,
Just an update. I was finsihing up my treatment and asked if I should have refinements due to some gaps I still have in my teeth and was told that wasn't possible because I was a "invisalign express" case. My orthodontist didn't tell me that until this issue came up. Be sure to ask this prior to paying anything or starting treatment or you could get scammed like me!

No, not in London... I live about 70 miles away from London. The dentist I found quoting £2400 for the above package is in Cambridge (I found them online). I am very happy with how helpful they have been with answering all my questions. But I cannot recommend them as such yet, because I haven't even been for a consultation! All I have been doing so far is talking over email. I was meant to have my first appointment end of December or start of January. But that has kind of gone out the window because I just haven't managed to find the £1400 deposit I will need  Since doing more research and talking to other people who have had/are having Invisalign I have found Chelsea Dental who offer Invisalign starting at £1250 (that's what they said in their email reply). I know of someone (on Youtube) who is with them and is paying £1500. But to be honest I do not know what they offer in with this price. He said he paid £1500 but then had to pay £250 more for the impressions or something... I do not know if they include whitening, refinements etc in the price. The one that charges £2400 include EVERYTHING and offer quite a bit in my opinion. So, even though other places may save you about £1000, you need to make sure first what is and isn't included in that price. Otherwise, you might not end up saving anything! Also for me, the Chelsea dentist is in center of London so would be an absolute nightmare to get to. I would probably have to use public transport. The travel costs would be pretty high also...

I just re-visited another forum I am on and had a look at an old thread I made. I had a new reply from someone telling me about Q Clinic in London. On their site it says they charge £1475, but the big question is... what is actually included in that price! Now, if they can offer what the place in Cambridge offer then hell yeah I would go for it! If only the aligners are included in that price and you will have to pay extra for whitening, extractions (if needed), refinements and retainers... then hell no, it wouldn't be worth it. It would probably end up costing over £2500! I will be getting in contact with them in the next few days to see if they are willing to tell me what I want to know over email rather than selling me an appointment! The middle of London is just not an easy/pleasant place to get to!

IHIC - you're being smart to ask these questions about what is included so you can compare apples to apples. Very smart too to consider the additional impact of travel costs (not to mention how a lot of travel would cut into your time!) It can be hard to pull together the extra cash for something like this, especially around the holidays, and even more so with the economy in the hole like it is, but I am sure you'll figure it out!
