Invisalign packages and price tiers

Align Technology offers four tiers of Invisalign, each suited to a different level of crowding or bite issue.

Package Aligners Treatment time London 2026 price
Invisalign Express / i7 Up to 7 3–4 months £1,800–£2,400
Invisalign Lite Up to 14 4–7 months £2,500–£3,200
Invisalign Moderate Up to 20 7–10 months £3,200–£4,000
Invisalign Comprehensive Unlimited 10–24 months £4,200–£5,500
Invisalign First (children 6–10) Phased 12–18 months £3,500–£4,500

Pure Smiles cases sit at the mid-market end of this range. For a deep comparison between packages, see our Invisalign Lite vs Comprehensive guide.

What’s actually included in the price

A complete Invisalign quote is all-inclusive of the digital plan, every aligner set, attachments, IPR (gentle filing between teeth to create space) and retainers. A complete Invisalign quote is not just the aligners — anyone advertising headline prices below £1,500 has usually excluded retainers, refinements or follow-up visits.

At Pure Smiles, the quoted price includes:

  • iTero digital scan and 3D ClinCheck treatment plan
  • All Invisalign aligner sets
  • Composite attachments (the small tooth-coloured bumps)
  • Interproximal reduction where needed
  • All review appointments during treatment
  • Final Vivera retainers (top and bottom)
  • 12 months of post-treatment monitoring

According to the British Orthodontic Society, retainers are mandatory after orthodontic treatment — anyone not including them is hiding £300–£600 of cost.

Hidden costs to watch for

These extras commonly appear after treatment starts and aren’t always in the headline quote:

  1. Refinement aligners — an extra set issued at the end to fine-tune results. Free under Pure Smiles’ Comprehensive package, but charged £400–£800 elsewhere.
  2. Replacement retainers — Vivera retainers cost £150–£250 per set when replaced. Most patients need new ones every 2–3 years.
  3. Composite bonding to finish — small cosmetic touch-ups after alignment are common. Pure Smiles offers a discount stack with Invisalign.
  4. Whitening top-up — many patients combine Invisalign with whitening. The aligners double as whitening trays, saving £250.

See our composite bonding vs veneers guide for finishing options.

Invisalign vs traditional braces — cost compared (London 2026)

Treatment Cost range Visible? Treatment time
Invisalign Comprehensive £4,200–£5,500 Nearly invisible 12–18 months
Metal fixed braces £2,800–£4,500 Highly visible 18–24 months
Ceramic fixed braces £3,500–£5,500 Tooth-coloured 18–24 months
Lingual braces (behind teeth) £6,000–£9,000 Invisible 18–24 months

The cost gap between Invisalign and fixed braces has narrowed materially in the last 5 years. Read the full comparison in Invisalign vs braces: cost, time and results compared.

Why direct-to-consumer aligners cost less (and the risk)

Online aligner companies advertise £1,200–£1,800 packages without in-person dental supervision. The price difference reflects what’s missing:

  • No clinical examination of gums or bone
  • No X-rays to confirm root health
  • No attachments (limiting movement range)
  • No in-person review during treatment

According to the British Orthodontic Society and the General Dental Council, unsupervised aligner therapy has been associated with cases of root resorption, bite collapse and gum recession. The GDC issued formal guidance in 2024 reminding clinicians that remote orthodontics must include in-person clinical assessment.

Invisalign is a clinician-prescribed medical device. Online aligners are not held to the same supervisory standard.

  • 0% interest over 12 months on treatment £1,000+, subject to status
