I have some teeth that arent Straight how much do invisalign braces cost

Q. I have some teeth that arent straight but as i am an adult am reluctant to wear braces. Ive heard of invisalign and braces that go on the back of your teeth, whats best, how much will it cost and are there any practioceners in my area? many thanks

A. Dear A,

Invisalign braces are not fixed to your teeth. Moulds of your teeth are taken and the clear plastic removable brace is fabricated. This is then changed every few weeks as your teeth move. Length of treatment depends on how crowded your teeth are. Invisalign is not suitable for everyone. The other type of braces are lingual braces. These are fixed brackets that go on the backs of your teeth.
Unfortunately I cannot give you costs or treatment lengths as I have not seen your teeth. You will be looking in the region of £2000 to £3000.
The alternative to braces is of course veneers but this requires your teeth to be shaved down slightly and depending on the crowding can involve between 4 and 10 teeth, sometimes more. My advice would be to have a consultation with an orthodontist and with a dentist who places veneers, someone with experience so that you can make a decision knowing all the options
Kind Regards

  1. mimi says:

    i just want to know how much is to get it for 17 yr old

  2. jenny says:

    hi i am 13 so how much will it cost?

  3. gemma says:

    how much will it cost for a 17 year old to have braces

  4. rosie says:

    hey ppl its free if ur under 18

  5. jamie smythe says:

    Rosie its not free if you are under 18 invisalign costs money even if you are under 16! the only thing you may get for free are metal braces on the NHS. Invisalign do offer a product called invisalign Teen which is designed for teenagers but it does cost a similar amount to adult invisalign.

    I had invisalign 4 years ago and it cost me £4000 i know you can get it much cheaper now though but do choose an invisalign doctor that is highly experienced.

  6. stacey says:

    can you pay in installments?

  7. Rocco says:

    I would very much like to straighten my teeth as quickly as possible without having to wear metal braces across my teeth. My front teeth cross over, being the main problem. Please could you inform me of the prices for the inman aligner and the 6 month braces? Thanks.

  8. Haleigh says:

    hello My son has the invisalign teen series for his teeth and it has been 2 weeks of wearing his second aligner and the spot hasn’t faded. It happened fine on the first aligner and although he says the aligner feels looser i just wanted to check before he went on to the next aligner. Like i said the aligner is loose so do you think he should move on to the next brace? thank you for your help

  9. Nasir says:

    Try in the third aligner if it fits well move on and keep a mental note of how long your son is wearing each aligner.

  10. Damion says:

    hi are you able to spread the cost of invisalign into easy to manage payments? I’ve seen that average price for treatment is £3000-£3500 and I just wouldn’t be able to pay that up front, but if i could pay off about a 100 a month i reckon i could managed.. thanks

  11. Lucy says:

    it is possible but depends on the practice that you go to. Nowadays many practices offer finance options to help spread the costs into monthly payments to fit your budget

  12. Brent says:

    hello, i am looking at getting invisalign braces but am worried about the cost, are there any plans available which would break down the payments and would these be interest free? do you yourself offer such plans? many thanks

  13. Amira says:

    yes we do offer interest free plans for up to 18 months or a low interest plan for 3 years, which should help you spread the cost of the Invisalign brace treatment

  14. Jazmine says:

    is it true that invisalign lite it cheaper and if so can it treat a gap between my front teeth? Im guessing its not as powerful as normal invisalign, but my gap is the only problem, so i don’t think i would need anything extreme. What is the usual cost of invisalign lite for full treatment? thank you

  15. Carter says:

    I have never used invisalign lite as it only has very limited uses

  16. Ciara says:

    i have no idea where to start looking for braces, which ones are the best for what, the best price etc, but i thought i would start here. I have two crossed over front teeth and gaps between some of my other top teeth. my bottom teeth aren’t exactly pretty, but i am not really too bothered about them, im mainly concerned about my bottom teeth. Could invisalignbraces do this and how much do you think it would cost? thanks

  17. Camila says:

    There are so many options now I would advise you to have a free consultation so you can see all the different options. The choice will come down to your budget, timeframes and whether you ar ewilling to have treatment that is visible.

  18. Brennan says:

    do you know how much a general invisalign consultation costs and do practices ever do them for free? I just wanted to ask in case im not even suitable for invisalign, which would make the time and money spent visiting a doctor a waste! Could an NHS dentist tell me is i am suitable for invisalign? thank you

  19. Lesly says:

    Hi there! If your NHS dentist is not trained in Invisalign he/she will not be able to advise you. We offer free consultations for Invisalign in our practice, if we are not too far for you. Best Wishes

  20. Xzavier says:

    hi do you think i can have invisalign even though i dont have all the money at once. I will be able to pay but i just don’t have the money right now. Is it standard procedure to split the cost of braces over a certain time? thank you

  21. Amber says:

    It depends on each practice, we offer various options to help suit all needs and budgets, so you would have to ask the practice of your choice

  22. Trey says:

    hi. i am 19 years girl who attends university and works closely with others. i was wanting to have clearstep/invisalign braces but wasnt sure if it was the best option. i wanted a quick but natural fix and wasnt to keen on veneers. i have moderate crowding on my bottom teeth and my top two front teeth are slightly wide and rotated..what would the approximate time be to correct this. i dont want metal braces as i am already self conscious as it is. thankyou

  23. Carson says:

    the time it takes for treatment depends on the amount of crowding. This can only be answered by examining the mouth. If it is slight crowding then it should take 6 months to 1 year.

  24. Ahmad says:

    I completed my invisalign treatment over a year ago. I am happy with the outcome but feel that a little more adjustment should be done on my overbite. Is it possible to continue on from my last tray for my upper teeth? This way I get to save on cost. Thanks.

  25. Brennan says:

    Hi there! Providing your teeth have not moved at all since you finished wearing your last aligner, then a continuation could be possible. It is advisable though that new impressions are taken. Best of luck

  26. Keila says:

    can i have invisalign on the nhs at all, or is there anyway that i can have the costs sperated so i can pay it off it lumps? I have lots of crooked teeth on my top jaw, and really want to have them straightened. How much would that cost? thanks

  27. Kathy says:

    Invisalign is not available on the NHS. All practices can offer interest free payment plans, costs vary

  28. Korey says:

    i am looking to have my two crossed over front teeth straightened and have been doing a bit of online research. I think invisalign sounds great, as you can’t see it when you wear it, but i just wonder how effective is it in comparison to braces that are fixed to your teeth with the wires and everything. Are fixed braces usually faster than invisalign? thank you

  29. Erik says:

    Hi Invisalign treats most cases that regular braces do if worn correctly, but can take a little longer than with wires. If ‘invisible’ braces appeal to you but you’d like wires for speed and efficiency, have you thought of lingual (inside) braces, such as Incognito? Good luck

  30. Lucia says:

    had metal braces to straighten teeth but was also suposed to correct my bite. 9 months after removing braces and wearing retainers i was told my teeth would come together on their own. I feel the pressure on certain teeth that come together faster and i am concerned about nerve damage not to mention the discomfort.. can invisalign correct an uneven bite?

  31. Marcella says:

    If your teeth do not meet together then this is a common problem with all braces. The teeth may naturally drift together, but if you want a quicker way then fixed braces would be better.

  32. Antonia says:

    hello I have half a front tooth and the rest of my teeth are horrible and bent and i hate them! anyway! i was wondering, which way round is best, to get the half tooth made whole again and THEN get invisalign or the get invisalign to straighten my teeth and hten have my tooth fixed? thank you

  33. Dale says:

    Hi I would suggest you get it built up with some composite resin before the Invisalign. Once you have completed the Invisalign this may need to be re-done, ‘tided up’ or even replaced with a veneer or crown. But definitely get it treated before the Invisalign

  34. Emmett says:

    how do invisalign aligners affect crowns? i have two at the side of my front teeth and i would like to have my front teeth straighten as they are a little buck, is this kind of straightening available with invisalign? and do i risk any harm to the teeth that are crowned? thank you

  35. Isaiah says:

    Hi there! There is no problem to move teeth that have crowns or if they do not need to be moved then that is not a problem either. With Invisalign we can customize each tooth movement and we do not risk damaging the crowns. Hope this answers your question. Bear in mind that if those crowned teeth are implants, then they will not move at all.

  36. Cindy says:

    You could consider 6 month braces or invisible brace or the inman aligner. The cost depends on the complexity of the case and how long it will take. I would recommend you see a dentist who provides all types of teeths straightening treatment so you can explore all the options and find out the exact prices

  37. Nathan says:

    If the cost of invisalign is covered by finance how is this usually split up? How much will i generally have to pay and for how long and are the payment plans usually interest free? thank you

  38. Carlie says:

    payment plans with a third as a deposit are available from most dentists at 0% interest. The monthly amount depends on your total fee

  39. Garret says:

    Is it possible to bring the two jaws together with invisalign. Mine sit really far away from each other, with the top jaw sticking out a lot further than the bottom, making me look bucked tooth and stupid. I would love to have a normal smile and will try any brace treatment, but thought id try a nice discreet on first :) do you think I have a chance of being treated with invisalign? and if not what should I ask my dentist for? thank you

  40. Prince says:

    Invisalign moves teeth not jaws i would need to see you to discuss what options are available you may need surgical jaw correction.

  41. Josef says:

    I am looking into getting invisalign but i’ve heard that you have to go back every 2 weeks for new aligners. I work shifts, which differ each week and so wouldn’t be guaranteed to be available the same time every week, do you think it possible to have more than one set of aligners made available per visit? thank you

  42. Alivia says:

    No that is not treue, you change the aligners every 2 weeks your dentist will generally give you 3-4 aligners at atime so you have to see him / her every 6-8 weeks.

  43. Alize says:

    how much are invisaligns

  44. Marvin says:

    prices vary and can start from £1500 for very simple cases.

  45. Sherawan says:

    Hi im 14 and wanting to get invisalign
    I was just wondering how much it would cost
    Thanks

  46. Ciara says:

    My front two teeth are slightly bent inwards. What procedure should I go for in order to fix them and how much time would that take.Thanks

  47. Isaak says:

    Some form of minor Orthodontic movement. This can be achieved relatively easy with braces or Invisalign

  48. Kendall says:

    I hate my teeth and I always have. The kids at school used to call me bugs bunny, jessica rabbit, thumper etc. Do you think Invisalign could help me with my big, protruding fornt teeth. Could I get them filed down/shaped or something as well? thamks

  49. Christina says:

    Dear Enquirer, I used to be called Goofy! Yes Invisalign is perfect, and if the front two teeth are disproprotionately larger, then yes 1-1.5mm reduction is fine, even before you start treatment

  50. Avery says:

    I’m pretty nervous when it comes to the dentist, and although my teeth are healthy and in good condition they are not at all straight and i just think it is about time that i bite the bullet, so to speak, and get my teeth straightened out. My teeth are crooked on the top, with overlapping front teeth. Can i have invisalign for this and is it likely that i will have to have any teeth extracted, this is what im worried about the most to be honest. thank you

  51. Mallory says:

    Find an Invisalign dentist who has a lot of experience and go and have a free consultation so you can start to get comfortable with the dentist. I treat many nervous people and I am sure you will fine.

  52. Thaddeus says:

    Hi, i really need braces and have been looking into invisalign but i also have many allergies and have heard that some people have been found to be allergic to the invisalign brace. Is this true? If so are there any other options as i really want one of the invisalign braces as I am a lot older than most people who wear braces and feel a bit embarrassed. thank you

  53. Quintin says:

    Hi there! We will need to have a close look to your allergies and determine whether you may experience an allergic reaction. It is not usual at all to have a reaction to the aligners, since they are made from an inert plastic material. It would be best if we had a careful examination of your allergy history and make a call from there. Best Regards

  54. Courtney says:

    WHERE CAN I FIND THE CHEAPEST FINANCE PACKAGE, AND CAN I BORROW SMALL AMOUNT AS £300 POUNDS. I ONLY WANT TO HAVE TWO OF MY FRONT TOOTH FIX AND WHITENING. I AM LOOKING A FINANCE PACKAGE WITH LESS FEES. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW THE BEST DENTIST I COULD TRUST TO DO THESE WORK ON MY TOOTH. I AM ALSO A NERVOUS PERSON WHEN IT COME ON TO GOING TO THE DENTIST. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW HOW WOULD I QUALIFIED FOR THIS LOAN

  55. Jena says:

    Hi I will try to answer your questions 1. many practices offer finance packages and this is something you would haveto discuss with the practice 2. To find out which dentist, go on there website and look at there qualifications, experience and photos of past cases. 3. If you are nervous it is best to see a dentist who deals with nervous patients

  56. Hazel says:

    I am on my way to a better smile after recently replacing a missing tooth with a nice new implant. That was step one now I am interesting in Invisalign as my teeth have never been particularly straight, and are slightly goofy looking, with a large overbite. The implanted tooth is next to my front teeth would I be able to get invisalign with an implant and are there any complications which could occur? thanks for your time

  57. Margaret says:

    It should be ok make sure your dentist does not put any pressure on the implanted tooth thjat tooth can not really be moved so I hope your happy with its position.

  58. Kennedy says:

    Hi what is the quickest time you have ever treated anyone with invisalign braces with? My problem isn’t anything massive, just a tooth gap at the front of my mouth, but my wedding is coming up in 6 months and I would really like to have my teeth straightened before the big day! Is it possible to find such quick changes with invisalign braces? thanks

  59. Frida says:

    I have been able to correct mild problems in about 3months. It depends on the severity of the case.

  60. Kane says:

    Hello Doctor, I am 30 year old and want to do invisalign treatment. I am not sure about what is the age limit for this treament. Is it possible for me as I am above 30? Also I am 2 months pregnant. If I can do it ,is it possible to start my treatment during preganancy? Thanks

  61. Orion says:

    Dear enquirer The oldest patient that I treated was 75 years of age. Being pregnant is not a problem so long as you do not have severe morning sickness

  62. Jamie says:

    HI, I am 27 & have very crooked teeth. I have been saving for invisalign but have been advised I may be able to get some nhs support to pay for it as I had train tracks as a teenager (twice!) and treatment never worked (or was not completed properly as they didn’t stay traight for more than a couple of months?!) Happy to provide more detail if need be, just hope for general advice before paying a fortune privately for something that I sI don’t believe I should be paying full cost for!! Thanks in advance,

  63. Ronaldo says:

    Hi I doubt you will get Invisalign on the NHS, but this discretion would lie with the consultant orthodontist treating you. Your best bet would be to contact your PCT for NHS orthodontists or ask your GDP to refer you. Regards

  64. Mackenzie says:

    what is your experience of invisalign for the treatment of misaligned smiles? I have a jaw that rest to the side of the other, making my bite off. Do you think that i can find treatment with invisalign braces or am I better off looking elsewhere for the treatment? thank you

  65. Cooper says:

    Invisalign can help but with jaw problems I prefer convential brace treatments.

  66. Rolando says:

    would invisalign be the best treatment for me? I have a very sticky out bottom jaw, which i have never had looked at by an orthodontist before, so i don’t really know what kind of treatment i’d be looking for. Im not sure that invsalign would be the best treatment, but i just thought i’d check and see what advice you could give, being an expert with braces and an any help would be great all the best

  67. Freddy says:

    I would like to ask if the price you offer for invisalign includes retainer which apparently needs to be wear after the treatment all the time and also what includes the price

  68. London says:

    The price we charge includes full arch Invisalign for both arches and also x3 pairs of Invisalign retainers

  69. Ezekiel says:

    hello is it possible to have both top and bottom teeth straightened out with invisalign braces, or is that too much? My top and bottom teeth are all higgledy piggeldy and and it would reallu lke to see some changes to my smile, but obviously don’t want anyone to see that! is it ok to have both? thank you

  70. Stuart says:

    hi, yes invisalign can be used to straighten upper and lower teeth at the same time. You mention that your teeth are “higgledy piggeldy”, so I can’t really tell what form of treatment is best suited to you, so I would recommend a consultation to find out all the options.
