Your Invisalign cost depends on the complexity of your treatment and the plan recommended after assessment. Two people with similar-looking smiles may need different corrections. A photograph, a friend’s fee or a starting price cannot establish the appropriate treatment for your own teeth.

The treatment categories described in our fee schedule are:

• Invisalign Express: very minor crowding, spacing or slight relapse after braces, in seven stages or fewer.
• Invisalign Lite: minor crowding and spacing, in eight to 14 stages.
• Invisalign Full: a wider variety of crowding and spacing issues, in 15 to 26 stages.
• Invisalign Advanced: more advanced crowding and spacing issues, in 27 to 35 stages.
• Invisalign Complex: more complex crowding and spacing issues, or cases where extractions may be required, in 36 stages or more.

Only your treating Enhance Dental practitioner can determine which option is suitable. That decision depends on your assessment and the proposed movements shown by your personalised 3D ClinCheck modelling. The model shows the planned stages and a virtual before-and-after view for discussion.

Invisalign Australia’s cost guidance explains that treating providers determine their own fees. For information about options for younger patients, visit our Invisalign Teen page.

Our no-obligation initial Invisalign consultation is free and is valued at $89. The records stage is separate: a $590 deposit is required when you proceed with Invisalign records. This deposit is non-refundable and is credited towards your total Invisalign cost.

The records, valued at $590, include a customised 3D digital scan, photographic records and animated ClinCheck computer models of your proposed tooth movements. The digital scan replaces the conventional impressions described in this offer. The records process also includes two comprehensive scheduled appointments and digital setup fees.

Dr Joseph Paino prepares your individual virtual treatment plan, and we adjust the computer modelling to suit your needs at no extra fee. You can review the proposed result before approving treatment. A 3D movie file is also available for you to keep at no extra cost.

The records are part of the entire Invisalign cost. The $590 records value and the $590 deposit describe the same records stage; the deposit is credited against the treatment total. Your payment breakdown should show that credit and the remaining balance, so the records are not counted twice when budgeting.

An upfront payment or deposit with scheduled payments entitles you to the free extras offered with treatment, subject to the individual conditions explained in this FAQ. Some offers require the Invisalign treatment fee to have been paid in full. Read those conditions when reviewing your Invisalign cost.

The advertised inclusions are:

• A no-obligation free consultation, valued at $89, and Invisalign records, valued at $590, subject to the records deposit terms.
• Orthodontic X-ray referrals prescribed at no charge: OPG and lateral ceph referrals for Medicare cardholders.
• A comprehensive Invisalign information pack.
• Invisalign cleaning crystals, toothpaste and an extra-soft toothbrush.
• One upper and one lower retainer, or the separately described Vivera retainer offer.
• Teeth whitening after treatment, valued at $490, subject to suitability and the whitening conditions below.
• Cosmetic reshaping if required and suitable.
• Minor cosmetic bonding if required and suitable, valued at up to $690.

The Invisalign cost does not include a general dental examination and clean or other required dental treatment. Obtain a separate quotation for that care. Replacement trays and changes to the original plan are also points to clarify in your written quotation; this list does not specify how every future expense would be handled.

Extra aligners required to optimise the result are included at no additional charge for Invisalign Lite, Full, Advanced and Complex treatment, within the limits determined by Invisalign. Express does not list this inclusion. Invisalign Teen is listed as available for Lite, Full, Advanced and Complex treatment; suitability must be assessed.

Compare the proposed treatment as well as the headline Invisalign cost. Quotations are easier to assess when they identify the product, number of stages, included services and payment conditions. A shorter treatment plan or a different set of inclusions can make two advertised prices difficult to compare.

Enhance Dental will price match a genuine written quotation that meets all of these conditions:

• The quote comes from a certified Invisalign provider who currently practises in Australia.
• The proposed treatment uses the genuine Invisalign product.
• The quotation is no more than two months old.
• The number of stages required is stated in the quotation and fits within Invisalign protocols for predictable tooth movement.

Bring the written quotation to your consultation so the team can review it against those requirements. Only your treating Enhance Dental practitioner can determine which treatment option is suitable for your teeth; the price match offer does not replace that assessment.

A practical comparison of Invisalign cost quotations puts the written prices, proposed stages, included appointments, records and aftercare side by side. Note any deposit and payment conditions as well. Keep the quotation you want assessed and the quotation you ultimately accept, so the proposed care and agreed fee remain clear.

Enhance Dental offers 0% interest-free Invisalign payment plans for approved applicants. A deposit is required, and the arrangement is subject to approval and its applicable terms. The available option and complete payment agreement need to be reviewed before you accept a plan.

A payment plan arranges your Invisalign cost over an agreed schedule. To understand the commitment, check the deposit, instalment amounts, payment dates and final balance against the total treatment quotation. The size of a weekly or monthly payment does not explain the full fee by itself.

An upfront payment or deposit with scheduled payments qualifies for the advertised free extras, subject to their individual conditions. The whitening offer and the one-time Vivera retainer offer have additional requirements concerning payment in full. Confirm when each applicable inclusion becomes available under your chosen arrangement.

Read the agreement for any fees or other conditions, including how missed payments would be handled. Keep it alongside your Invisalign cost quotation to track the total balance and due dates. The practice can explain the available finance options and payment methods before you choose a schedule.

Your personal contribution to the Invisalign cost depends on your quotation and any benefit your private health insurer confirms for your policy. A percentage of orthodontic fees may be claimable through our HICAPS facility. Eligibility and the amount available must be checked for your own cover.

Before treatment, provide your insurer with the written treatment plan and relevant dental item numbers. Ask for a benefit estimate, including any orthodontic waiting period, annual limit, remaining lifetime limit and rules about when claims can be made. Mention any previous orthodontic claims when requesting that estimate.

The Commonwealth Ombudsman’s orthodontic insurance guidance explains the checks to make with your insurer. Include the treating provider and payment arrangements in your enquiry, and identify any conditions attached to the estimate before relying on it for your budget.

Keep your Invisalign cost quotation separate from the insurer’s benefit estimate: one describes the treatment fee, while the other describes a possible contribution from your policy. Use the insurer’s confirmed information when planning your budget. A friend’s rebate or an advertised insurance benefit cannot establish your own entitlement.

Before commencing Invisalign treatment, patients must have had a general dental check-up, bitewing radiographs, a scale and clean, and any required dental work completed within the previous six months. Tell us about recent dental appointments so the practitioner can review what has been completed and what is still needed.

The Invisalign cost does not include the general dental examination and clean. Other required dental work is also separate. Enhance Dental can assess, quote for and provide this care, allowing you to discuss the preparation for treatment with the same practice.

Preparatory appointments also need to fit into your proposed start date. Bring details of recent dental care and any concerns you would like assessed, so the dentist can review the required preparation with you.

When calculating your Invisalign cost and related expenses, keep the orthodontic quotation and the quotation for other dental care identifiable. These cover different work. Including both in your budget gives you a clearer picture of the cost of preparing for treatment as well as the aligner treatment itself.

Treatment duration and Invisalign cost are separate considerations. Where your dentist considers changes more often than every two weeks appropriate, a shorter aligner schedule does not reduce the treatment fee. The plan must remain appropriate for the movements your teeth require.

The advertised “up to 50% faster treatment” option is listed for suitable Invisalign Full, Advanced and Complex cases. It is not listed for Express or Lite, and it depends on the individual case. Some rotations, extrusions or large root movements may still require aligners to be changed every two weeks, following advice from Align Technology.

Those terms also describe chewies, AcceleDent or VPro5 appliances as possible aids for suitable Invisalign Full, Advanced or Complex cases, with use for up to 20 minutes per day and an advertised potential reduction of up to half the treatment time. This is not a guaranteed result or an instruction to change your own schedule.

Your treating dentist must assess whether an accelerated approach is appropriate and provide the schedule for your treatment. Follow those instructions. When comparing Invisalign cost quotations, check any associated appliance charges as well as the estimated duration. A faster schedule and the same treatment fee are separate parts of the offer.

The advertised retainer inclusion is one upper and one lower retainer. Alternatively, you can purchase three upper and three lower Vivera retainers, made by Invisalign, for $495. Three sets usually cost $990, so this offer provides them at half the usual fee.

The Vivera offer is a one-time saving available when your Invisalign treatment has been paid for in full. Discuss the appropriate retainer option with your dentist, and ensure your written Invisalign cost quotation identifies the option you have chosen.

Our aftercare advice is to wear upper and lower removable retainers at night for life to help prevent major relapse. Your dentist will explain the instructions for your retainers. Keep those instructions and contact the practice if a retainer is lost, damaged or no longer fits.

Future replacements, follow-up appointments and usual dental care are useful considerations in your Invisalign cost planning. The stated inclusion does not quote every possible replacement or future appointment. Establish how those expenses would be handled when reviewing the treatment quotation, so you understand the difference between the initial retainer offer and ongoing care.

Free teeth whitening, valued at $490, is available after Invisalign treatment has been paid for in full, subject to suitability. Dental issues such as gum disease or decay must be treated before whitening. These conditions apply even when whitening appears among the extras in your Invisalign cost quotation.

Before whitening, a recent examination and clean at Enhance Dental is required. Bitewing radiographs must be updated if they are more than two years old. Your dentist will assess whether whitening is suitable for you and discuss any concerns before you begin.

Enhance Dental supplies the free whitening gel after your attachments have been removed. The described whitening course uses your retainers for 30 minutes per day for 10 to 14 days. Follow the assessment and instructions provided for your treatment, including how to use the supplied gel.

Results vary. Fillings and other restorations do not lighten, and not all enamel will whiten or whiten evenly. Some areas may lighten more than others. Some people experience strong tooth sensitivity for several days; desensitising toothpaste may help, and we are happy to supply it.

Allow for any separately quoted examination, cleaning or other required dental care alongside your Invisalign cost. The whitening offer remains subject to the dental-health, suitability and payment conditions above.

The cosmetic-reshaping inclusion applies if the procedure is required and suitable for your teeth. Also called odontoplasty, it involves very minimal smoothing of pointy, jagged or rough edges on front teeth. Examples in this offer include rough edges and pointy canine teeth.

Your treating dentist determines whether reshaping is appropriate. It is a specific, limited inclusion within the Invisalign cost offer. Discuss the edges that concern you and the proposed amount of smoothing before agreeing to the procedure.

Slight sensitivity may occur during the procedure or for a short period afterwards. Desensitising toothpaste can help, and we are happy to supply it. Contact the practice with concerns after treatment.

When reviewing your Invisalign cost quotation, distinguish this minor reshaping offer from any other cosmetic treatment you may want. Request an explanation and a separate quotation for proposed work that falls outside the stated inclusion.

Free cosmetic bonding, valued at up to $690, is offered if required and suitable. It covers minor repairs of small chips or defects, including worn or uneven incisal edges, using tooth-coloured composite resin on the biting edges of the front teeth only.

Your treating dentist will determine whether this limited bonding procedure is suitable. Its scope is important when reviewing the Invisalign cost: the stated offer concerns the incisal edges of front teeth, and suitability is assessed for your individual teeth.

Bonding may not last, and a more permanent method may be required. Such further treatment is not included in the Invisalign fee. Any proposed alternative needs its own explanation and quotation before you decide whether to proceed.

Keep the agreed bonding work with your Invisalign cost quotation. This distinguishes the minor repair offered as an extra from other cosmetic or restorative work you may consider later.

Bring the concerns you want to address, any relevant dental information, your preferred timeframe and the budget you would like to discuss. If you are requesting a price match, bring the genuine written quotation showing its date, provider, product and number of stages.

At Enhance Dental, Invisalign treatment at every appointment is provided by a dentist, rather than a nurse or hygienist. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss the planned visits, how your progress will be reviewed and how to contact the practice between appointments.

Before proceeding, review your Invisalign cost quotation, recommended treatment option, non-refundable records deposit, payment dates and applicable extras. Include any separate dental-care quotation and your insurer’s benefit estimate in that review. Check that the deposit credit, remaining balance and any separately quoted care are clear.

You can also read our general Invisalign FAQ for other treatment questions. To discuss your own Invisalign cost, book a no-obligation free consultation, valued at $89, or call (03) 9533 8488. This initial consultation is distinct from the paid records stage described above.
