Orthodontics with clear aligners is fully customizable, and Invisalign Lite is the most basic option within its system.
It is designed for cases in which only the correction of slight malpositions is necessary.
In this article, we will explain the features and price of Invisalign Lite.
Who can wear Invisalign Lite?
Each patient can choose which type of orthodontics they prefer to wear, from the more conventional brackets to more discreet methods, such as invisible orthodontics.
Generally, people who opt for Invisalign clear braces are highly concerned about their esthetics and do not want their image to be affected during treatment.
However, Invisalign offers different options that vary according to the requirements of each patient: Lite or Full.
Choosing between one or the other is the orthodontist’s task and not the patient’s, since each type of Invisalign is designed for different cases.
Specifically, the Lite version is usually the most suitable for people who have already worn an orthodontic system before but whose teeth have moved.
This may be a consequence of not having worn an adequate retention appliance or due to the eruption of wisdom teeth or wisdom teeth.
If you are concerned about orthodontics affecting your appearance, Invisalign Lite clear aligners may be your best option.
Invisalign Lite Features
This bracket-free orthodontic system is based on clear aligners that are changed every two weeks for both upper and lower arches.
Invisalign Lite consists of up to 14 pairs of custom-made aligners for each patient.

Thanks to them, it is possible to perform the micro-movements that the orthodontist has foreseen in his planning until the necessary corrections are achieved to obtain a harmonious smile.
As with any Invisalign treatment – whether Lite or Full – it is possible that once the patient has used all the splints, it will be necessary to begin the refinement phase.
At this stage, the orthodontist makes the final adjustments to the smile to make it fully functional.
Invisalign Lite offers a single refinement, i.e. an order for new aligners customized for the patient, with the advantage that it includes an unlimited number of splints.
What are the advantages of clear aligners?
Invisalign Lite combines all the advantages of orthodontics based on removable aligners, which is why it is one of the most chosen methods by our patients.
Aesthetics
The splints are practically imperceptible, being visible only at very short distances.
For this reason, they are the orthodontic of choice for those who place their appearance above the price of the treatment.
Easy to remove and put on
Invisalign is a removable system, which is highly valued by people who want to have a comfortable orthodontic treatment without emergencies.
Thanks to its removable nature, it does not hinder oral hygiene or restrict eating, unlike what happens with braces.
In addition, it does not have any metal parts or ligatures, so it does not rub against the mucosa or cause mouth sores.
However, bear in mind that to ensure their effectiveness, aligners must be worn for a minimum of 22 hours a day.
Otherwise, it is very likely that the duration of the treatment will be longer than expected.
Effective
Invisalign is capable of correcting any dental misalignment or malocclusion, making it as effective as orthodontics with braces.
The patient’s perception is usually very positive from the first few weeks, since the tooth is not covered by the brackets.
As a result, corrections are more clearly visible.
Ask about your needs
Only a specialized orthodontist can determine if your case can be solved with Invisalign Lite or Full and tell you the full price of the treatment.
Predictable
All orthodontic treatment requires a thorough study by the specialist beforehand.
Invisalign is no exception, although it has an additional benefit for the patient who opts for this method.
The sets of braces that will be needed are ordered at the same time, so the orthodontist always has a clear idea of what position the teeth will be in at each change of aligner.
This is achieved thanks to a computer software called ClinCheck, developed by AlignTech -which markets Invisalign-.
This is a visual simulation of the final result of the treatment, so that the person can see how his or her mouth will look at the end of the orthodontic treatment even before it has begun.

Invisalign Lite vs Invisalign Full: Main Differences
Although both are orthodontic treatments with invisible aligners, the difference between the two lies in the cases in which they are recommended.
Invisalign Full is the more complex version of this type of orthodontics and is indicated in cases that require both alignment and bite corrections.
The difference lies in two main aspects:
Duration of treatment
As it is indicated for more severe cases of malocclusion, treatments with Full usually last between 14 and 36 months.
However, the average duration of orthodontic treatment is usually 24 months.
Invisalign Lite orthodontics, on the other hand, usually takes about a year. This makes its price lower than Full.
However, keep in mind that this is an estimate, so to know the duration of treatment for specific cases, it is essential to have the assessment of an orthodontist.
Splint set and refinements
We have already explained that Lite offers a maximum of 14 splints and a single refinement with an unlimited number of aligners.
Invisalign Full, on the other hand, has the advantage of offering an unlimited number of splints from the first moment of planning and up to 3 refinements.
Each of them also has an unlimited number of splints.

The price of Invisalign Lite
In our clinic, the price of the Invisalign Lite treatment starts at 3,500 ¤.
Each case is different, because not all patients have the same needs.
The duration of orthodontics and the severity of the case – depending on whether it is mild, moderate or severe – are the aspects that influence the price of Invisalign Lite.
Therefore, in order for you to have a complete estimate, it is ideal for you to go to a free initial visit where our team of doctors will assess the state of your mouth.
Once we have designed your treatment plan, we will be able to give you a personalized estimate.
Until you have a diagnosis from the professionals, this price may vary.
However, we clarify that the price you receive in your budget is closed and we will not add new concepts throughout the treatment.
Thus, all the necessary actions to correct your malocclusion are included in the cost of Invisalign Lite:
All the splints you need for your case.
Complete orthodontic study (photographs, x-rays, impressions).
Professional oral hygiene.
Possible dental emergencies related to orthodontics.
