How many aligners do Invisalign treatment packages contain, and which one do I need?

Fogorvosi tálcán elhelyezett Invisalign csomag, előtérben az átlátszó fogszabályozó sínt ábrázoló dobozzal, mellette a kezelési tervet tartalmazó nyomtatott ívvel és háttérben a kék Invisalign feliratú ajándéktáskával.

About the treatment costs in general

The price of the Invisalign orthodontic treatment depends on how many aligners will be needed for the treatment. In cases of smaller dental deviations, fewer invisible aligners are required, while for larger issues more clear aligners need to be ordered. The exact number of aligners needed can only be determined after digital treatment planning. Naturally, during the first consultation the dentist will give an approximate estimate so that you can have a general idea of what price range to expect. Based on this estimate, you can also decide whether you would like to have your digital treatment plan created. If you decide not to, then you do not have to pay for it unnecessarily. The package prices include the cost of the orthodontic aligners. However, there is no separate fee for the visits throughout the treatment since their cost is included in the price paid for the aligners. There are additional costs associated with the end of the orthodontic treatment, such as the price of the fixed retainers and that of the retention plates.

After this prologue let’s see what packages exist!

1. Invisalign EXPRESS

The price of this package includes the treatment of both the lower and upper dental arches. A maximum of 7 aligners can be ordered per dental arch. The package also includes the ordering of corrective aligners at one time. From the number of aligners, it is clear that this package is suitable only for treating small deviations. For example, mild crowding or a relapse that occurred after earlier orthodontic treatment.

2. Invisalign LITE

The price of this package includes the treatment of both the lower and upper dental arches. A maximum of 14 aligners can be ordered per dental arch. The package also includes the ordering of corrective aligners at one time. This package is already suitable for treating greater dental deviations. However, for solving bite abnormalities (for example, a severe deep bite) or for larger-scale tooth movement, it does not contain a sufficient number of aligners.

3. Invisalign MODERATE

The price of this package includes the treatment of both the lower and upper dental arches. Here, a significantly larger number of aligners can be ordered, up to 20 per dental arch. This package also allows the ordering of corrective aligners up to 2 times. With these options, medium-scale tooth movement and moderately severe bite abnormalities can also be treated. (By clicking HERE (27) you can learn about the devices that help us successfully treat more complex dental problems.)

4. Invisalign COMPREHENSIVE

This is the largest and most comprehensive package. Unlimited number of aligners are included, and the number of times that corrective aligners can be ordered is not limited either. Its price naturally includes the treatment of both dental arches (lower and upper). With this package, any dental and bite deviation can be corrected. The “occlusal blocks for mandibular advancement” option used for correcting distal bite in teenagers is available only in this package.

5. Invisalign FIRST

We must also mention one more package. This is the package we order for children who still have milk teeth. So, the Invisalign FIRST package is used in mixed dentition, usually between 8 and 11 years of age. Its price also includes the treatment of both dental arches, the number of aligners is unlimited, and corrective aligners can be ordered one time free of charge during the treatment.

How can I find out which Invisalign aligner package do I need?

With the information above, I wanted to provide some guidance so that, by smiling into the mirror, everyone can roughly estimate the scale of the task to be solved. However, selecting the appropriate package is a complex process that requires precise diagnostics and professional expertise, so it is best if you visit our Netfog Dental Clinic for an orthodontic consultation. Moreover, the price of the orthodontic consultation will be credited toward the cost of the treatment if you choose to have your orthodontic treatment done with us.
