Invisalign aligners: What’s in the cost of your smile?
Understanding the value of Invisalign treatment
As the holiday season winds down and the reality of holiday expenses sets in, many start looking for ways to save money. Whether you are a parent considering orthodontic treatment for your teen or an adult looking to improve your smile with Invisalign aligners, the temptation to opt for cheaper alternatives is understandable. However, it's important to remember that not all savings provide true value.
Why choose Invisalign?
Global success and compliance
Invisalign is a globally respected brand trusted by millions for achieving the perfect smile. Its success across various countries underscores its compliance with diverse dental regulations and laws, ensuring high-quality care and patient safety. This global trust guarantees that you are investing in a tried and tested method for orthodontic treatment.
Innovative materials and extensive research
Invisalign aligners are the result of extensive international research. The innovative materials used in these aligners have undergone rigorous testing to ensure maximum effectiveness and comfort. This dedication to quality and innovation means that you are receiving a product that is at the forefront of orthodontic technology.

Proven results
Invisalign has built its reputation by consistently delivering on its promises. The aligners are discreet, easy to wear, and can transform smiles in as little as six months. This track record makes Invisalign a reliable and effective choice for orthodontic treatment.
Protecting yourself from cheaper imitations
The internet provides a wealth of information, but it also opens the door to cheaper, lower-quality imitations. When researching Invisalign alternatives, it's essential to conduct thorough research to ensure you're getting a genuine product and quality care.
Research the vendor
Evaluate the support offered by the vendor. Ensure you have access to a qualified dentist and verify their credentials, professional memberships, and insurance coverage. Reliable vendors will have transparent practices and verifiable qualifications.
Research the treatment and long-term support
Understand how the vendor assesses your teeth and plans the treatment. Know who will bear the costs if additional dental treatments are needed. Long-term support is essential for successful outcomes, so ensure the vendor provides adequate follow-up care.

Ask questions
Prepare a list of questions to ask the vendor. Check their responsiveness and willingness to provide information. Look for reviews and speak to previous patients if possible. Ensure there is a physical dental practice you can contact, rather than just an online presence.
The risks of Imitations
Imitation brands may offer lower prices but often at the cost of quality and long-term patient care. These products may look similar but can compromise your dental health. At Duxton Dental, we are aware of such brands and advise caution. If you have any concerns or questions about your orthodontic treatment, please contact our Riccarton dentists.
