How much does Invisalign cost in China?

Full Invisalign treatment in China: $2,500–$5,500 depending on case complexity, treatment duration, and clinic tier. Top international clinics (Arrail, MAY Dental, hospital international centres) charge in the upper range using genuine Invisalign aligners and certified providers. Comparable US treatment: $5,500–$8,500. Includes consultation, scans, all aligner sets, refinements and final retainer.

Can I do Invisalign as a medical tourist?

Yes — with a hybrid in-person + remote workflow. Initial 5-day trip: comprehensive exam, digital scan, treatment planning approval, attachments bonded, first 1–2 sets dispensed. Subsequent aligners shipped to your home address every 4–6 weeks; you progress per protocol. Remote video check-ins every 6–8 weeks. Optional 5-day return trip mid-treatment for refinement scan if needed.

What other orthodontic options are available?

Beyond Invisalign: traditional metal braces $1,200–$2,500; ceramic braces $1,800–$3,500; lingual braces (behind teeth) $4,500–$8,500; self-ligating systems (Damon) $2,200–$4,000; clear aligner alternatives (Smartee, Angelalign — China-developed) $1,500–$3,500. Accelerated orthodontics (e.g. PROPEL VPro) shorten treatment by 30–50% for an additional $1,500–$3,000.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Average 12–18 months, ranging from 6 months (simple cases) to 24+ months (complex). Mild crowding/spacing: 6–12 months. Moderate cases: 12–18 months. Severe malocclusion or surgical-orthodontic cases: 18–30 months. Initial trip 5 days; remote progression with shipped aligners; optional refinement visits at month 6 and 12.

Is the workflow really remote-friendly?

For straightforward cases yes — top Chinese clinics use Dental Monitoring app or similar AI-assisted scan-by-phone systems. Patient takes weekly photos through a calibrated phone scope; AI flags any deviation from plan; orthodontist intervenes by video. For complex cases involving extractions, IPR (interproximal reduction), or attachment changes, periodic in-person visits are required.

What if I need attachments adjusted or aligners replaced?

Standard issues (lost aligner, broken attachment, refinement) are handled through: (1) shipped replacement aligner; (2) attachment re-bonding by a partner local dentist where available; (3) return visit to China for ~3-day adjustment. Top clinics include 1–3 included refinement scans in the original quote. Clarify in writing what is and isn't included.
