Each aligner is customized for the patient using 3D imaging and ClinCheck\u2122 software, allowing orthodontists to plan and visualize treatment outcomes precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"\ud83e\uddee Why is Invisalign more expensive?\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C6SiKz44b_A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddee Why is Invisalign more expensive?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many patients wonder why Invisalign tends to cost more than traditional braces.
