This can make a significant difference in the cost of the aligners. Mail-order aligners brands do not have access to patented Invisalign technology like SmartTrack™ material, so they use generic plastic for their clear aligners.įinally, insurance options are limited for mail-order aligners – a small reimbursement, if any – whereas in-office Invisalign treatment is more likely to be covered up-front, and a larger portion covered since you see a licensed doctor during your office visit. Lower prices also mean lower-quality materials. The add-on costs required for effective treatment with mail-order aligners mean you may end up paying much more than the original price tag.
Some Invisalign providers offer a mild-to-moderate case treatment option for around $2400, which includes all aligners and retainers.
But there’s a catch: that price doesn’t include necessary parts of treatment, including the cost of X-Rays, diagnostic records, extra aligners for refinements or more complex cases, attachments for aligner grip, or final retainers – not to mention direct, in-office supervision by a licensed orthodontist. Because only mild to moderate cases can be completed in 6 months, extra aligners may be needed to finish your treatment, which has to be paid for separately or risk producing unsatisfying results. Are Mail-Order Aligner Brands Cheaper than Invisalign Aligners?Īctually, no. Mail-order aligner brands offer “complete” 6-month clear aligner treatment for around $2,000.
