Not everyone feels comfortable with the idea of wearing teeth braces for an extended period. Appearance is one common concern, as traditional metal braces are visible when you speak and smile.
For some people this is a reason they delay orthodontic treatment altogether. Clear aligner systems such as Invisalign Sydney gave patients another option to discuss with their dentist. Below is general information about Invisalign cost in Sydney and what the treatment involves, including its limitations.
Invisalign Price in Sydney
Published price guides for Invisalign in Sydney commonly fall between $7,000 and $9,000, although figures vary between sources and are not a quote. The fee for any individual is set only after a clinical assessment, because it depends on the complexity of tooth movement required, the number of aligners needed, the length of treatment and whether refinements or additional procedures are involved.
Clear aligners and fixed braces are priced differently, and neither is consistently cheaper than the other. Which option costs less in your case depends on your clinical presentation, not on the type of appliance.
Invisalign Cost at North Sydney Dentistry
Our clear aligner treatment is offered with a payment plan from $25 per week. This figure is a repayment amount, not the total cost of treatment.
Approval is subject to the provider’s eligibility criteria.
Whether clear aligners are suitable for you can only be determined at a consultation. They are not appropriate for every case.
Because the aligners are clear, they are less noticeable than metal brackets and wires. They are not invisible, and attachments bonded to the teeth may be visible at close range.
The aligners are removable, which some people find convenient at mealtimes and when cleaning their teeth. This also means results depend heavily on the wearer: aligners generally need to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day, and treatment can be delayed or compromised if they are not.
Things to consider before starting
Orthodontic treatment carries risks that should be discussed with your dentist before you begin. These can include tooth sensitivity and discomfort, gum irritation, shortening of tooth roots, decalcification or decay if oral hygiene is not maintained, and relapse of tooth position if retainers are not worn as directed after treatment. Treatment may take longer than the initial estimate, and some cases need additional aligners, fixed braces or other procedures.
Outcomes vary from person to person. Any images or descriptions of results reflect individual cases and are not a prediction of what you will achieve.
If you are considering orthodontic treatment, arrange an assessment with a registered dental practitioner who can examine your teeth, explain the options relevant to your case, outline the risks and give you a written quote.
