Both Invisalign and teeth implants are great options for people who want a more beautiful smile. Both treatments can straighten your teeth<\/a> and give you the confident appearance that you desire. They also have many similarities, but there are some significant differences as well. Both treatments involve getting artificial teeth<\/a> that are put in your mouth and working on your natural teeth. Both leave you with a final outcome that is better looking than what most people would consider their perfect smile. Although it is more “invasive” than implants, it is why your dentist usually suggests braces first. Nope, that doesn’t mean that it costs less to get dental implants than braces, or that braces cost less than getting dental implants. Here is a well rounded account of the pros & cons of both treatments to assess which may be the right choice for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is the cost of Invisalign?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The cost of Invisalign depends on the severity of your condition, the number of your treatment sessions, the complexity of the treatment plan, and the number of appliances required. Generally, Invisalign treatment costs around $2000 to $3000 per retainer. This means that you would need to invest a little over $5000+ for full treatment if you want a retainer for both your upper and lower teeth. If you want to also get a retainer for your bite, the cost of Invisalign goes up to $13,000 or more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is the general breakdown of Invisalign costs, but it doesn\u2019t take into account the other expenses associated with getting Invisalign. Since Invisalign is a treatment that requires constant monitoring and maintenance, you will also have to pay for follow-up appointments, X-rays, and cleaning sessions. Some dentists may even recommend that you have teeth whitening, teeth cleaning, or additional X-rays. This can significantly increase your Invisalign costs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here\u2019s how Invisalign can help at any stage of the dental implant process:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Before<\/strong>: Most dentists<\/a> will likely suggest getting Invisalign before dental implants because it makes things easier overall and gives the orthodontist more flexibility to design your perfect smile before placing a permanent implant. There may be exceptions, however, if your dentist thinks you don\u2019t have enough bone support or it may deteriorate by the time you receive your implant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

During<\/strong>: If necessary, you can get dental implants in the middle of Invisalign treatment. The dentist will simply need to determine the correct order of sequences and keep in mind that the dental implant will be in a permanent position.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After<\/strong>: As mentioned above, if you already have dental implants, you can still be a candidate for Invisalign. Your dentist\u00a0will implement a treatment plan that addresses the teeth around the dental implant, thus straightening your overall smile.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is the cost of teeth implants?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The cost of getting teeth implants will vary from one dentist to another. It is difficult to estimate the exact cost of implants since several factors influence the price, such as the dentist\u2019s location, the implant materials, and the length of the treatment. Generally, good-quality implants can cost anywhere between $350 and $500. The $6000 price tag is considered to be a high-end estimate. While $4000 is the minimal cost at which you can get the procedure done.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Other expenses that you can expect to see are the cost of the X-rays, the cost of getting teeth whitening, the cost of having an orthodontic evaluation, and the cost of getting an oral surgery consultation. You can expect to spend at least $5000 on these expenses. But it is possible that they can go up to $7000 or more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Which one is more affordable: Invisalign or implants?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Invisalign is less expensive than implants in the long run, but it isn\u2019t necessarily more affordable upfront. Both treatments require you to make significant investments upfront. And you will have to wait until the end of your treatment before you see the results. This means that both Invisalign and implants will force you to make large upfront payments to make them happen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
