Invisalign has become the go-to smile-fixing treatment for adults from all walks of life. Not only does it make a straighter and more aligned smile accessible to adults who don’t want the invasive design of fixed braces for a prolonged period, but it also puts full control in the hands of the patient client.
Invisalign is managed through the manufacturing of various removable aligners, which gradually, but consistently adjust the layout of the teeth to achieve a straighter smile.
Under the guidance of a dental specialist, each client is responsible for wearing the aligner for at least 22 hours of each 24 hour period to optimise their results, while benefitting from the removable design to eat and clean both the aligner and their teeth.
One of the questions that clients have with regard to Invisalign braces in Essex revolves around cost and value – i.e., is Invisalign worth the expense? Let’s take a closer look…
How Much Does Invisalign Impact Your Life?
Invisalign is carefully designed to be as easy to wear and integrate into normal life as possible.
Because the aligners are clear and tailor-made for each client, they should slip over the teeth with ease and blend into the wearer’s natural smile without the visual symptoms strange word, can we have a different word if poss of traditional fixed braces.
What’s more, the removable nature of these aligners means that clients don’t have to manage the difficulty of eating and cleaning around their braces. Rather, they can remove the aligner when eating and in order to clean both their teeth and the aligner itself for optimum hygiene.
Is Invisalign Expensive?
Of course, the above benefits come at a cost. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional fixed braces and while it is effective, it’s also an expensive option.
The exact cost depends on the duration of treatment; however, the following prices are currently being marketed by leading dentists in Essex:
Treatment packages for Invisalign braces in Essex start at £1,800 for our Express 14-week treatment; £2,600 for the Lite 28-week treatment; and £3,600 for the Comprehensive 10+ month package.
Cost vs. Longevity and the Lifespan of Results
With all this in mind then, is the cost worth it?
In terms of treatment lifespan and the longevity of results, Invisalign that’s followed by a comprehensive and considered approach to aftercare can offer lifelong results for clients. If you are dedicated to the treatment process and to wearing an overnight retainer following Invisalign treatment to keep teeth aligned and to avoid them warping in shape and layout again, then you should enjoy the results of a straighter smile for years to come.
