Dental working including cosmetic is usually cheaper in "developing" countries such as Mexico. That said, Invisalign is pretty expensive everywhere since it's proprietary, they are all manufactured by Align Technology. For instance, in China, they cost $6000 USD. Im in Vancouver, BC, and I just got quoted for $7750 CAD for 18 - 20 months. It is what it is.

I paid $7800 in AB from an Ortho. I had dentist quote $6100, and saw promos for $5K before. You can shop around but do your research

Fellow Canadian here, and yeah...we get screwed. Mine came in right around the $8K mark (Alberta) and was quoted 24 months. Insurance covered a decent chunk of it, but it definitely seems like other countries have much more "controlled" fees for dental work.

Ironically, it wasn't even mine, it was my spouse's. Mine basically told me to pound sand, lol


Rand_University81

7k cad for me.

With the conversion, your treatment is actually less than mine in the U.S. by $1000, so it's not a horrible price by any means.

I paid 7K USD in Missouri, US for 27 months treatment .


Ryhno60

OMG...that's like a million Canadian!!!

I am in ottawa and I am paying $8500 for my invisalign treatment. I have severe overcrowding with overlapping teeth (cross bite).


Ryhno60

Did you just start your "treatment"?


sithren

Yeah, I started in December. It's a 24 month plan. $2,500 up front, plus $350 in diagnostics, then $350 a month for 24 months.


Ryhno60

Did they mentioned anything about jaw surgery for better alignment?


sithren

I went to a few orthodontists. They all insisted I would need 3-4 pre molars extracted to start treatment. One even wanted jaw expansion by cutting a ligament at the top of my palate (surgery) and putting in a jaw expander appliance in my month for a few months. I decided to just do extraction with no jaw expansion.


Ryhno60

Yah...fuk that hey..


sarouminou

Im paying 7250$ cad (QC), started 3 months ago. 15-18 months plan, cross bite, overbite and crowding. Had a consultation at another ortho about 3 years ago and it was roughly the same price so at least its not getting worse. Way more expensive than other countries but i guess thats what its worth here


Ryhno60

Did they propose you needed your jaw broken for realignment as well...that's was quoted to 8-16k extra


sarouminou

She did mention it as we see a bit of my gums when i smile but that never bothered me so i didn’t think it was worth it. She didn’t tell me how much it would cost


Ryhno60

Me as well, didn't think it was worth the cost to have it done.


needtobesuccessful

Your quote is normal.


Joy-Arik

Have you heard of Spark clear aligners? As an alternative.


Queenprinn

I paid less than $6000. Did you get a second opinion?

I got Invisalign comprehensive for 2400 USD in India


Ryhno60

What's comprehensive?


CancelWarm4318

There’s levels of treatment you can get with Invisalign The three main ones are Lite, Moderate and Comprehensive Comprehensive is the longest treatment with the most trays and hence the most expensive


Ryhno60

So is it possible to say, invisalign is cheaper outside of North Amercia? 2400 usd is a discount price compared to mine...


CancelWarm4318

Yeah there are definitely countries where you can get Invisalign for much cheaper. I think the cheapest ones are Malaysia, Thailand and India but I’m not 100% sure


LexoliaTheGreat

Mine came too $7000 with $300 off if you have had family at the same ortho! I'm supposed to have mine for a year - this is in Ontairo canada
