Alternatives to Invisalign clear aligners
If you have been reading along for a while, you will know that we love Invisalign clear aligners at our Claremont dental clinic. Invisalign clear aligners help straighten teeth whilst causing minimal disruption to your lifestyle, and most people barely notice you are wearing aligners.
However, Invisalign isn’t for everyone. The most common reason people don’t go for Invisalign is budget. Invisalign is an investment of around $6-8k and not everyone is able to afford this. So what alternatives are out there for those that choose not to have Invisalign?
- If you’re not opposed to the appearance, sometimes braces can be a faster and cheaper alternative to Invisalign clear aligners. Your dentist can recommend an orthodontist nearby who could explain more to you about braces.
- Consider cosmetic dentistry procedures such as composite or porcelain veneers to disguise crowding, spaces or discoloured or worn down teeth. These days, our Claremont dentists can even use digital technology to design a smile for you within minutes. You can even test drive this smile and make changes so that you can be sure to get the exact smile you have always wanted. Find out more about the transformative power of digital smile design here.
- Think about whitening your teeth. Whiter and brighter teeth can definitely improve your smile, so you could always try this out in the meantime. Our personal budget-friendly pick is the Pola Light home whitening kit. Read our Claremont dentists’ review on this product here.
- Lastly, it pays to have an honest discussion with your dentist about your concerns, what you would like to change about your smile AND your budget. That way your dentist can discuss all the options with you to see what suits you best. It’s a win-win!
