Do I have to pay full price for Invisalign if I only have some minor crowding? (Photo)

More advanced cases require more sets of Invisalign aligners but if your case is simpler, you may be able to pay less due to fewer sets and this can shorten the treatment time as well and be a good candidate for Invisalign Fast. The best option is an Invisalign consultation to determine estimated treatment timelines, number of aligners, etc. Compliance with wearing the aligners also has an impact on how successful / short the treatment is.

The fee will depend on the number of aligners used.  If more than 10 aligners, the fee is the same.  If the case only takes 5 aligners, there is a smaller fee, up to 10 aligners a little bit more, and then more than 10 is full fee.The fees charged to a patient are a choice by each office.  The office COULD do the case for free if they choose, however, they won't be in business for very long.The number of aligners to do the case is unknown until the case is submitted to Invisalign.  Often there is a small records fee and the case type is determined then.Some offices choose not to offer the express option, as we rarely do.  Often cases that were thought to be express turn out NOT, so asking for additional funds in order to continue can be uncomfortable.

Simple or not simple the case the price will remain the same in most of the cases. I would not recommend invisalign express due to limitation of aligners (max 10). Very often, 10 not enough and even a simple case can turn into more difficult one. You do not want to be a hostage of aligners, you want your doctor to have unlimited tools to correct the bite and alignment. In addition, simple or not simple case, you would need a set of retainers regardless of the simplicity of the case, in order to retain the results. So, most of the time, the price does not depend on the difficulty of the case
