Why is Invisalign more expensive than metal alignment?

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-02-25

First of all, from the perspective of material cost, the material cost of metal aligners is relatively low, while the material cost of ** orthoses is higher. Metal braces are generally made of materials such as stainless steel or titanium alloys, and the cost of these materials is relatively low, so the cost of metal braces is relatively low. The ** orthosis is made of polymer materials, and the cost of this material is higher, so the ** orthosis is also relatively high.

Secondly, from the perspective of technical process, the production process of ** orthoses is more complex than that of metal orthotics. Orthosis needs to go through multiple processes and processes, including material preparation, hot press molding, surface treatment, etc., which require a lot of time and manpower, so the aligners are relatively high. Metal aligners, on the other hand, are relatively simple and generally only need to be cut, polished, polished and other processes to complete, so they are relatively low.

Third, from the perspective of ease of use, ** orthoses are more convenient to use than metal braces. **The aligners can be removed and worn at any time, which is convenient for patients to carry out oral cleaning and daily maintenance, and will not affect the normal life and work of patients. Metal aligners, on the other hand, need to be fixed to the teeth and cannot be taken off at will, which brings certain inconveniences to the patient's life, such as dietary restrictions and difficulty in oral hygiene maintenance. As a result, the number of aligners is also relatively high.

Fourth, from the perspective of effect, the effect of orthosis is more stable and reliable than that of metal orthoses. **The aligners are made of polymer materials, which can better adapt to the patient's oral environment, and at the same time be personalized according to the specific situation of the patient, so as to achieve more accurate and reliable correction results. Metal orthoses, on the other hand, are prone to problems such as inadequate correction and revisit, and require multiple adjustments and follow-up visits to achieve satisfactory results. As a result, the number of aligners is also relatively high.

To sum up, the main reasons why correction is more expensive than metal correction mainly include material cost, technical process, ease of use and effect. Since the ** orthoses have more advantages and characteristics than metal braces, their ** is also relatively high. However, for patients who need orthodontic treatment, it is important to choose the right orthodontic treatment for them.
