The short answer: Invisalign is generally more expensive than traditional braces. The long answer: Cost shouldn’t be the only factor considered when weighing treatment options. Every treatment method has its pros and cons. Invisalign treatment, for example, is invisible and removable but it does tend to cost more than traditional braces. And traditional braces, though less expensive, are more noticeable and require significant food restrictions that can be difficult to commit to for the duration of treatment. If you’re someone who values the freedom to eat what you want, or you prefer to maintain a more professional appearance, then the extra expense associated with Invisalign treatment may be worth it to you. Weighing all the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment option before committing to one increases your chances of making a decision you’re happy with.
