What do invisible braces in Vienna really cost?

Why pricing in the aligner space feels confusing

Anyone searching online for "invisible braces Vienna cost" finds a range that irritates: from "€599 complete package" to "€6,500 both jaws". Where's the truth?

The honest answer: all of the above exist — but they describe very different things. Let's break the pricing landscape down piece by piece.

What an honest complete price must contain

A serious adult aligner offering includes at least the following services. If even one is missing or charged extra, the "low" headline price is misleading.

• Consultation, free or with deductible deposit
• iTero 3D scan of both jaws
• Panoramic X-ray
• Treatment plan and 3D preview
• All required aligner trays (10 for easy, 20 for sensitive)
• Attachments (composite helper points) if needed
• IPR (interproximal reduction) if needed
• All check-ups
• Refinements — additional trays at the end if fine adjustments are needed
• Final review and final scan
• Retainers for both jaws
• VAT, i.e. the price you actually pay at the end

Our packages at SayCheeese

We work with two clearly defined packages and transparent prices.

Package easy — minor corrections

• 10 aligners, about 4 months of active wear
• €1,580 per jaw, one-time
• €1,980 both jaws, one-time
• In 36 interest-free monthly instalments: from €44 per month (1 jaw) or €55 per month (both)

Package sensitive — moderate corrections

• 20 aligners, about 8 months of active wear
• €2,280 per jaw, one-time
• €2,980 both jaws, one-time
• In 36 interest-free monthly instalments: €63 per month (1 jaw) or €83 per month (both)

All prices include the full service list above. No hidden extras.

How packages differ — beyond the price

The two packages don't differ in the quality of trays or medical care. They differ in the complexity of the movement we can reach.

• easy suits mild crowding, a small gap, mild rotation — anything roughly doable in 10 steps.
• sensitive suits stronger corrections, multiple gaps, larger rotations or combinations of multiple topics.

Which package your case needs we see at the first scan. We recommend honestly — we never push patients onto the larger package "just to be safe". If easy is enough, you get easy.

How aligner prices compare

| Method | Cost (Vienna, both jaws) | Treatment duration | |---|---|---| | Aligner easy (minor corrections) | €1,980 | 4 months | | Aligner sensitive (moderate corrections) | €2,980 | 8 months | | Traditional braces for adults | €3,500–€6,500 | 18–24 months | | Lingual braces (inside) | €6,000–€10,000 | 18–24 months |

For most adult cases with front and canine corrections, aligners are the most economical option — provided your case fits the spectrum.

What can be extra

To avoid surprises, here is an honest list of what's outside the aligner packages — if you need or want it.

• Dental hygiene before treatment start: ~€110 per session. Sensible, sometimes medically required.
• Caries treatment before start: depends on the finding. If caries is there it must be removed before aligners.
• Bleaching: optional, ~€290 both jaws. Many patients do this at the end of aligner therapy.
• Composite reshaping of individual teeth: ~€120 per tooth. For final fine details.
• Replacement of a lost aligner: typically included in the refinement, exceptionally chargeable.
• Replacement of a lost retainer years after treatment: ~€150–€250, depending on the work.

These items are not hidden costs — they are clearly separated from the aligner package because they're individually variable.

How the 36 monthly instalments work

We offer 36 interest-free monthly instalments. You pay over three years — so you continue paying two years past the actual treatment. 0% effective interest, no processing fee, no credit-bureau drama.

Example easy (1 jaw): €1,580 / 36 = €43.89, rounded we communicate €44. You pay €44 monthly by direct debit or transfer.

Instalments start with treatment start. There's no deposit — you start with instalment one.

What to note before deciding

If you compare several providers, these are the five points to confirm:

1. Is the consultation free and without obligation?
2. Are refinements and final review in the price?
3. Are retainers for both jaws included?
4. How many aligners are included — and what happens if more are needed?
5. What guarantee is given if the planned end position isn't reached?

If all five answers come clearly and in writing, you're dealing with a serious provider. If not — ask. With us all five answers stand in the cost estimate you take home after the consultation.
