Invisalign happens to be a revolutionary system to straighten the teeth. Unlike conventional orthodontics it discreetly aligns your teeth using a series of clear transparent aligner trays. These appliances are easily removable and as such the innovative treatment provides a higher level of comfort compared to traditional braces to correct misalignment of the teeth.

Range of Invisalign Treatments

Invisalign offers a range of treatments; each treatment is designed to correct a unique set of orthodontic problems and caters to the needs of a different category of patients. But every treatment offered by Invisalign works in the identical manner which is every set of aligner trays used in your treatment will gently move your teeth only a little toward the ultimate treatment goal. In easier words the key differences between the different Invisalign treatments exist in the number of aligner trays included in the treatment. In other words, this is to say Invisalign Lite, Comprehensive, Express or any other treatment each uses a different number of aligner trays to correct misalignment of the teeth.

Key Differences Between Treatments

For example, Invisalign Express makes use of up to seven sets of aligner trays and hence it is easy to guess the treatment is suitable only for some of the simplest cases of orthodontic misalignment. On the other hand, Invisalign Lite includes up to 14 sets of clear plastic aligner trays and so it is also ideal for simple and uncomplicated cases related to malocclusion of the teeth. In fact the treatment is mostly recommended in cases that involve slight crookedness in the teeth at the front of the mouth and minor bite discrepancies, explains a busy Invisalign provider in London. In contrast to the treatments mentioned above, Invisalign Comprehensive includes an unlimited number of aligner trays. So, it is not hard to guess that this Invisalign treatment is meant to correct critical cases of malocclusion of the teeth and the jaws. In fact, the treatment is designed to tackle a range of complicated cases including crowding of the teeth, under bite, open bite, cross bite, overbite, over jet and others.

The Invisalign Comprehensive was earlier known as Invisalign Full and usually the treatment package includes some valuable extras to provide patients with a rich and enhanced experience. These extras include the following –

Extra session of oral hygiene –

Before commencing your treatment, they will conduct a digital scan of your teeth as well as the overall mouth. These scans are used as resources to plan every step of your smile transformation and the outcome of your treatment. In order to secure the most accurate results from digital scanning the teeth are treated with a session of dental hygiene. Thus, the teeth get thoroughly cleaned with complete removal of harmful tartar and plaque build-ups. The cost of this oral hygiene session is included in the overall treatment cost. In addition to this Invisalign Comprehensive patient also get a second session with dental hygienist and this is meant to help them keep their teeth and the gums in prime condition throughout the phase of the treatment.

Refinement aligners at no extra cost –

The custom fitted aligner trays for a patient are manufactured at a remote Invisalign lab at the beginning of the treatment. You have to switch to new set of aligners as per the given sequence in every couple of weeks or so. The movement of your teeth will be reviewed about every six weeks. If required then you will be given few refinement aligners to enable the optimum movement of your teeth, explains a dentist who quotes reasonable cost for Invisalign Comprehensive in the UK. Refinement aligner trays help you achieve the best possible results from the treatment.

It is important to note that Invisalign Express offers only a single set of refinement aligner trays whereas Invisalign Lite offers two. In contrast to that Invisalign Full or Comprehensive includes unlimited sets of refinement aligner trays for every patient and this offer exists for a period of up to five years from starting your treatment.

Fixed retainers –

Once the aligner trays are finally removed from the teeth it is essential to be on retainers. The treatment includes two sets of retainers in its cost. These appliances prove helpful preventing relapse of your teeth or sinking back of the teeth into their initial position before the treatment. As far as Invisalign Comprehensive is concerned the package allows patients choosing between fixed and removable Vivera retainers.    

Why the cost of Invisalign varies so widely

By and large Invisalign is considered a dental cosmetic treatment. Private dental surgeries are thus capable of setting their own prices. This individual pricing structure obviously gets affected by factors like qualifications and experience of a dentist, local competition and popularity, explains a treatment provider who quotes significantly reasonable cost for Invisalign Comprehensive. Dental practices with a good track record for this treatment usually charge a higher cost than the others.   

Payment options available for the treatment

Considering the steadily rising popularity of this cutting-edge system to straighten the teeth an increasing number of dental practices across the UK offer payment plans, to make the treatment more easily affordable for their patients. But they design these payment plans as per their own discretion. These payment plans allow you to spread the total cost of your treatment over a period of time (up to 5 years at the most) and keep clearing easy monthly instalments. Thus, there is no need to shell out a chunk of money at a time to get the treatment done.  

But before signing up on a payment plan you should consider the following factors –

·        How much money do you have to pay on monthly basis and for how long?

·        Is that monthly payment amount affordable for you?

·        If the payment option is not free of interest, then how much interest do you have to pay in addition to the actual treatment cost?

In case you default on a payment then what will be the penalty or consequences is also important to know in advance.

Affordable Invisalign treatment and the NHS

The NHS does not provide Invisalign treatment. The reason is simple – they consider it as a cosmetic dentistry treatment. The NHS offers conventional metal braces to those who qualify for free orthodontic treatments. 

One of the best places in London to get the treatment is the Bayswater Dental Clinic. The patient-centric practice offers quality treatment at a reasonable cost that easily fits every budget. In fact, this private practice possesses a stunning track record in handling these cases. Just feel free to book your appointment now!
