# Invisalign — UK price comparison

## Quick answer

Invisalign treatment in the UK typically costs £1,500–£5,500, depending on how complex your case is: minor front-tooth corrections sit around £1,500–£2,500, moderate cases £2,500–£3,500, and comprehensive treatment £3,500–£5,500. Quotes should cover the assessment and digital scan, all aligners, refinements and retainers — retainers are essential for life, so check they're included. Invisalign is provided only through GDC-registered dentists and orthodontists, and adults can't usually get aligner treatment on the NHS, which reserves orthodontics for under-18s with a qualifying clinical need.
