Gloss & Floss Answers · Costs & Pricing
What affects the cost of Invisalign?
Short answer
The cost of Invisalign depends on how complex the tooth movement is, how many aligners are needed, how long treatment may take and whether attachments, IPR, refinements or retainers are included. A simple cosmetic alignment case usually costs less than a case involving both arches, bite correction or more advanced planning. The price should always be connected to a dentist-led treatment plan.
Why Invisalign prices are not the same for everyone
Invisalign is a customised clear-aligner treatment. The aligners are designed from your dental scan and treatment plan, so the cost is influenced by your starting position and the planned outcome.
Two patients may both want straighter teeth, but one may need only minor front-tooth alignment while the other may need bite correction, expansion, attachments and several rounds of refinement.
What affects the price?
- How crowded or spaced the teeth are
- Whether one or both arches are treated
- Whether the bite needs correction
- Number of aligners required
- Estimated treatment length
- Need for attachments on the teeth
- Need for IPR to create space
- Follow-up appointments and monitoring
- Possible refinements after the first aligner series
- Retainers after treatment
What should be included in a clear Invisalign quote?
A good Invisalign estimate should explain what is included, what may cost extra and what happens if treatment needs adjustment. It should also clarify whether retainers are part of the package and how follow-up visits are handled.
For patients comparing clinics, this matters more than simply comparing one headline price against another.
What happens at Gloss & Floss?
At Gloss & Floss Dental Care in Stockholm, Invisalign planning begins with a clinical assessment of your teeth, bite, gums and expectations. Digital scanning and dentist-led planning help determine whether Invisalign is suitable and how complex the case may be.
We explain treatment goals, limitations, expected timeline and cost factors before you decide. The aim is a realistic plan that balances aesthetics, function and long-term stability.

Frequently asked questions
Is Invisalign priced only by the number of aligners?
No. The number of aligners matters, but the dentist’s planning, clinical monitoring, attachments, refinements and retention also affect the total treatment value.
Can I get Invisalign without an examination?
No reliable Invisalign plan can be made without assessing teeth, gums, bite and oral health first.
Why do Invisalign prices differ between clinics?
Prices may differ because clinics include different levels of assessment, planning, monitoring, refinements and retainers.
Is the cheapest Invisalign option always the best?
Not necessarily. A low price may be appealing, but it is important to understand what is included and whether the plan is clinically appropriate.
