Invisalign

Every smile is different, so every price is too. Invisalign can start from $3,500 and range up to $9,000, but the real number depends on exactly what your teeth need. That’s why we don’t quote off a photo or a guess. Book a free smile consultation and we’ll scan your teeth, map out exactly what treatment looks like for you, and give you one honest price with nothing hidden in it later.

And if the upfront cost feels like a lot, it doesn’t have to be. We offer Denticare, which lets you spread the cost into easy weekly, fortnightly, or monthly payments with no interest. Afterpay works too for smaller treatments. Just ask our team and we’ll help you find whatever fits your life best.

Not always — though the cost is often comparable. Traditional braces in Brisbane typically range from $5,000 to $9,000, depending on complexity. Invisalign Lite can be significantly cheaper than braces for simple cases. For complex cases, costs are broadly similar. The right choice depends on your clinical needs, not just cost.

No. Medicare does not cover Invisalign in most cases. Private health insurance with orthodontic extras may cover $1,200 to $2,400 of the cost, subject to your level of cover and applicable waiting periods.

Most major Australian health funds — including Bupa, Medibank, HCF, NIB, and Australian Unity — include orthodontic benefits in their higher-level extras policies. The amount covered varies significantly by fund and policy tier. We recommend checking directly with your fund using the treatment item codes our team can provide.

Yes. At Vital Dental Care, we offer flexible payment plan options through trusted third-party providers, with interest-free options available. Treatment can begin with a low deposit, and repayments are spread over manageable weekly or fortnightly instalments. Ask our team for details at your consultation.

Somewhere between 6 and 18 months, and honestly, where you land depends entirely on where you’re starting from. If you’re closing a small gap, you could be done in half that time. If there’s more going on with your bite, it might take a little longer. The only way to know for sure is to come in for a proper look. Dr Philip Chou will give you a real timeline, not a rough guess, once he’s seen your scan.

Not really, and that’s genuinely one of the best things about it. There’s no metal wire to nick your cheek, no bracket digging into your lip. You might feel a bit of pressure for a day or so after switching to a new aligner. That’s just your teeth quietly doing their job. Most people barely notice it after the first couple of days. And if something does feel off, tell us so we can fix it. We check in with you at every step, we don’t just hand you a box of aligners and wish you luck.

The only way to know for certain is a clinical assessment. At Vital Dental Care, your free Invisalign consultation includes a full assessment of your teeth, bite, and smile goals — plus a personalised treatment recommendation and cost estimate.

Absolutely, and it’s all done right here, start to finish. We use an iTero digital scanner, so instead of biting into a tray of gluggy putty, you get a quick, comfortable 3D scan of your teeth. The best part? We can show you a simulation of your new smile on the spot, before you’ve committed to a thing. Dr Philip Chou takes it from there, planning and looking after your treatment personally the whole way through.
