Are Clear Aligners More Expensive Than Braces?

Traditional metal braces are slightly more affordable than Invisalign, and if cost is a concern, metal braces are the winners.

Clear aligners

are plastic replicas of your teeth that use gentle pressure to reposition them. The average cost of Invisalign is comparable to the cost of braces, but due to the use of high-quality materials and technology, treatment is more expensive than traditional orthodontic procedures. Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible and can work just as well as braces for many common orthodontic problems, but they don't work for everyone.

On average, you can expect to pay a little more for clear aligners than for braces. Invisalign clear aligners add strength to your teeth while braces move each tooth individually. Most people don't even notice when someone is wearing Invisalign clear aligners, and for optimal and fast results, it is essential to follow the instructions for using them.
