Clear aligners cost in British Columbia: what to ask before you book
Whether you are pricing Invisalign for adults, Invisalign for teens, or comparing clear aligners with braces in British Columbia, the same written questions help you compare quotes fairly.
- Is the quote for comprehensive treatment or a limited, shorter plan?
- How many aligners are planned and how long will treatment take?
- Are refinement aligners, attachments and retainers included?
- What happens to the fee if treatment runs longer than planned?
- Does the office offer an in-house payment plan or third-party financing?
What changes the price in British Columbia
Case complexity, the number of aligners, refinements and the provider set the price. A limited plan for a mild case usually costs less than comprehensive treatment, and retainers or extra aligners can be billed separately. Fees also differ between offices and between cities in British Columbia, so compare written quotes that describe the same scope.
Paying without insurance, and what insurance may cover
Many private plans that cover orthodontics treat clear aligners like braces, usually through a lifetime orthodontic maximum, and adult coverage is often limited. Without insurance, ask about a payment plan, and check whether an employer health spending account can be used. Orthodontic costs may also qualify for the federal medical expense tax credit; confirm with the Canada Revenue Agency or a tax adviser.
