How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Ottawa?
In Ottawa, Invisalign typically costs $3,500 to $8,000 CAD, depending on how much correction your teeth need. Minor cases (mild crowding or spacing) start around $3,500–$5,000, most adult cases fall between $4,500–$6,000, and more complex bite corrections run $6,000–$8,000. Most quotes include your scans, aligners, check-ins, refinements, and first retainer.
If you’re weighing Invisalign against traditional braces, here’s what actually goes into that price. And if you want your exact number, that’s what a consultation is for, contact Dr. Sekhon Family Dentistry in Ottawa and we’ll walk you through it.
Invisalign Cost in Ottawa by Case Type
Not every smile needs the same amount of work, and price scales with how much movement your teeth actually need. Here’s a general breakdown of what Ottawa patients can expect to pay based on case complexity:
| Case Type | What It Involves | Typical Cost (Ottawa) |
|---|---|---|
| Simple Invisalign | Minor crowding or spacing, up to ~7 aligners | $3,500 – $5,000 |
| Moderate Invisalign | Most adult cases, 8–20 months of treatment | $4,500 – $6,000 |
| Full/Comprehensive Invisalign | Bite correction, more complex or longer cases | $6,000 – $8,000 |
These ranges reflect what Ottawa-area clinics generally charge as of 2026. Your actual quote will depend on your specific teeth, bite, and treatment plan, which is why an in-person (or digital scan) consultation matters more.
What Affects the Price of Invisalign?
A few things determine where you land in that price range:
Mild crowding or a small gap costs far less to correct than a full bite realignment. More movement means more aligners, which means more cost.
Most adult treatment plans run 8–20 months. Longer treatment plans generally mean more aligner sets and more in-office check-ins.
Every case is mapped out as a series of custom aligner trays — simple cases might need a dozen or so, while complex cases can require 30+.
Cost varies between general dentists and orthodontic specialists, and between clinics using different levels of digital treatment-planning technology. A dentist experienced specifically with Invisalign can often plan more efficiently, which affects total treatment time and cost.
This is exactly where choosing the right provider pays off. At Dr. Sekhon Family Dentistry, our team builds a custom digital treatment plan for every Invisalign patient, mapping out how your smile will move, stage by stage, before your first aligner is even made. That level of planning helps keep your treatment on track and your timeline (and cost) as predictable as possible.

Is Invisalign Covered by Insurance in Ottawa?
Most private dental insurance plans that include orthodontic coverage treat Invisalign the same way they’d treat traditional braces, typically reimbursing up to 50% of the cost, up to a lifetime orthodontic maximum.
As of 2026, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) does not cover Invisalign or adult orthodontics for cosmetic straightening. Limited orthodontic coverage under CDCP is restricted to specific medical cases, like severe functional malocclusion in children, and general Invisalign treatment doesn’t currently qualify. If you’re budgeting around CDCP, don’t count on it for Invisalign.
We’ll always review your specific coverage with you before treatment starts, so there are no surprises on your bill.
Invisalign vs. Braces: Is One Cheaper?
Traditional metal braces and Invisalign land in a similar overall price range in most cases, though braces can sometimes run slightly less for very complex corrections. The bigger differences aren’t really about price, they’re about comfort, visibility, and lifestyle fit. Invisalign is removable, less visible, and doesn’t come with food restrictions, while braces stay fixed on your teeth for the full treatment. If cost is your deciding factor, ask about both options at your consultation so you can compare a real quote side by side, not just averages.
