If you’re considering Invisalign treatment, cost is likely one of the first questions that comes to mind. As a general guide, Invisalign treatment in Montreal typically costs between $3,000 and $8,000, depending on the complexity of the patient’s case, treatment type and duration, and the number of aligners needed.
A simpler case involving minor crowding or spacing may require fewer aligners and cost less, while more comprehensive treatment involving significant tooth movement or bite correction, for example, will generally cost more. We can determine your actual Invisalign cost after examining your teeth and bite and developing a personalized treatment plan.
Because every case is different, it helps to understand what can influence the final cost before your consultation. This includes what may be covered in your fee, how insurance applies, and what financing options may be available.

What Affects the Cost of Invisalign?
Several factors influence how much you pay for Invisalign treatment. When we assess your case, we consider the factors below.
| Factor | How It Can Affect Your Invisalign Cost |
|---|---|
| Complexity of your case | More complex alignment or bite concerns may require a longer and more involved treatment plan. |
| Crowding or spacing | Minor spacing or crowding may require fewer aligners than more extensive tooth movement. |
| Bite correction | Overbites, underbites, or crossbites may require additional treatment planning and aligners. |
| Treatment length | Longer treatment generally involves more monitoring and aligners. |
| Number of aligners | Cases requiring more stages of tooth movement typically need more aligners. |
| Limited vs. comprehensive treatment | Limited treatment may be appropriate for smaller corrections, while comprehensive treatment is used for more extensive movement. |
| Refinement aligners | Additional aligners may be needed after your initial series to fine-tune your results. |
| Clinic fees | Fees and what is included in the quoted price can vary between dental clinics. |
The amount of tooth movement you need helps determine the number of aligners and treatment length. Based on this, we may recommend a more limited treatment plan for minor corrections or comprehensive treatment when more extensive movement is required.
Is Invisalign More Expensive Than Braces?
Invisalign and traditional braces can be comparable in cost, but the price of either treatment depends on the complexity of your case and how long treatment takes. In some cases, costs may be similar, while in others, one option may cost more.
Price matters, but it is also important to consider which option can address your specific alignment and bite concerns. We can assess your teeth and bite and explain which option may be appropriate for your needs, along with the expected treatment time and cost.
What Is Usually Included in the Invisalign Price?
An Invisalign quote usually covers more than just the aligners themselves. Depending on the clinic, it may include:
- Your initial consultation
- A dental examination
- Digital scans or impressions
- X-rays or photographs
- Personalized treatment planning
- Your Invisalign aligners
- Attachments
- Progress appointments
- Refinement aligners, if needed
- Retainers
Ask for a written estimate that clearly shows what your fee includes. Inclusions can vary between clinics, which is part of why an Invisalign price in Montreal from one office may not match a quote from another for the same case.
For example, one clinic’s quote might bundle refinement aligners and a retainer into the total price, while another charges for these separately later on. Before comparing Invisalign quotes, make sure you know what each one includes so you can compare the total treatment cost more accurately.
Does Insurance Cover Invisalign in Quebec?
Some private dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that may help cover part of the cost of Invisalign. However, coverage varies considerably between plans, so check your policy details before starting treatment.
Ask your insurer about:
- The percentage of treatment your plan covers
- Your lifetime orthodontic maximum
- Whether coverage differs for adults versus dependants
- Any age restrictions on orthodontic benefits
- Preauthorization requirements
- Whether you can use a health spending account
Some plans may cover a portion of orthodontic treatment up to a set lifetime maximum, while others exclude adult orthodontics altogether. Your insurer, not your dentist, is the best source for these specific details.
Does the CDCP Cover Invisalign?
Currently, orthodontic services are not covered by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) or the Canadian Dental Plan (CDP). And since Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment, it is unfortunately not covered.
Can You Finance an Invisalign Treatment?
If paying the full cost of Invisalign upfront is a concern, financing can make the expense easier to manage. PUR Dental offers financing through Affirm, which can help you spread out the cost of treatment over time instead of paying the full amount upfront. This option can be particularly helpful if you do not have dental insurance, or if your insurance does not cover orthodontic treatment or only covers part of it.
During your consultation, we can review Invisalign financing and payment options available to you so you understand the costs before deciding whether to proceed.
How Do You Get an Accurate Invisalign Quote?
Online Invisalign prices give you a general idea of cost, but your exact cost depends on your individual treatment needs. During your consultation, we will assess your teeth and bite and determine which treatment approach may be appropriate for you.
An Invisalign consultation typically includes:
- A review of your dental history
- An examination of your teeth and bite
- Digital scans
- X-rays or photographs, when required
- A discussion of your treatment goals
- An estimated treatment duration
- A review of costs
- Insurance considerations
- Financing or payment options
After reviewing your teeth, bite, and treatment goals, we can provide a personalized estimate and explain what is included in your fee.
Your Invisalign Cost Starts With an Assessment
If you are considering Invisalign in Montreal, Pointe-Claire, or the West Island, a consultation is the best way to understand your treatment options and actual cost. We can assess your teeth and bite, explain the type of treatment you may need, and review your personalized estimate, insurance considerations, and available financing options.
