How Much Do Clear Aligners Cost?

The cost of clear aligners in Boulder, CO averages $7,500, but can cost more or less depending on the amount of time you need to wear your clear aligner trays. This is because the average Invisalign® treatment time is 12-18 months and requires return trips to your dentist every six weeks, which can be an additional cost. Conversely, SureSmile® Clear Aligner trays can cost 30% less than Invisalign®!  The team at Boulder Canyon Dental has extensive training and experience to guide your clear aligner treatment plan with in-house technology and equipment that cuts down overall costs.

Why Choose Boulder Canyon Dental Clear Aligners?

At Boulder Canyon Dental, Dr. Amy Smith DDS is a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry, has extensive training in orthodontics, as well as Orofacial Pain, and has extensive and advanced training in clear aligners, even designing, fabricating and 3-D printing your clear aligners in-house. Following your consultation, if  are right for SureSmile® clear aligners, our dentists perform every aspect of the clear aligner procedure at our Boulder office, which saves you money and time because most Boulder dentists have to use a third-party to have their clear aligner trays manufactured, which is partly why Invisalign® costs often amount to $7,500 or more. Other dentists simply do not have the technology, equipment or expertise  that our Boulder dentist office employs to provide clear aligners at a fraction of the cost of Invisalign®. Our team has extensive training and experience to guide your clear aligner treatment plan from consultation to implementation and completion. In short, you can get your entire SureSmile® clear aligners procedure done at the lowest cost in Boulder, CO.

With the advantages of in-house cutting edge technology like SureSmile® software and 3D printing of your clear aligner trays, our doctors can control the thickness of the clear material to make stabilization of your orthodontic treatment more predictable, which also means you may not have to wear your clear trays for the length of time required by a typical orthodontic treatment. In fact, we customize our SureSmile® clear aligners specifically for your mouth, trimming the clear aligner trays to incorporate your gum tissue so that the force on your teeth is more stable and consistent. This gives you and our dentist complete control from start to finish with the minimal cost, and maximum comfort and predictability for the straightening of your teeth in record time. College students, working professionals, and teenagers love SureSmile® clear aligners because they are simply better than Invisalign® for cost, comfort, and efficiency.

Why Use SureSmile® Clear Aligners Instead of Invisalign®?

Besides being a more affordable solution than Invisalign®, SureSmile® clear aligners are considered an orthodontic treatment, and this means you can receive insurance compensation covering $1000 to $1500 of clear aligners' cost. Which means your overall costs for clear aligner therapy is dramatically lower than Invisalign®. But more importantly, even for more complex orthodontic treatments, SureSmile® is an excellent choice because of the ability to customize each clear aligner treatment tray. The customization process allows your dentist to straighten your teeth in a shorter period of time than Invisalign®, as well as contouring your clear aligner trays for a more comfortable and far less painful process than Invisalign® treatment. This also means fewer trips to the dentist during your clear aligner therapy because your trays are already crafted specifically for your mouth, which means you'll require far fewer visits to make adjustments.

Does SureSmile® Clear Aligners Work Just Like Invisalign®?

Yes! SureSmile® clear aligners are just like Invisalign®, only better, and include the same main components:

• Clear Aligners Consultation
• 3D Scan and Treatment Plan
• Your Every Day Clear Aligner Trays

Prior to your consultation, we bring you in for a records appointment, where we take the 3D scan, ortho photo series, and ensure we have proper x-rays. That way, we'll have all of your personalized data available to develop a customized clear aligner treatment plan before your second appointment, where you'll receive an outline detailing your timeline, number of trays, attachments, cost, and anything else that Dr. Amy Smith deems necessary for your orthodontic treatment. These invisible trays are strong enough to move your teeth into alignment without too much discomfort, and you'll switch out your trays at designated points-in-time, as your orthodontic treatment plan progresses. During your orthodontic care, you'll be wearing your clear aligners for at least 22 hours every day for the most stable movement and best results, taking them out only for meals and to clean them.

*For new patients: before starting any orthodontic therapy we will need a full set of diagnostic x-rays as well as either a comprehensive dental exam or a letter from your current dental provider stating that you have no outstanding treatment.
