Invisalign Vietnam from GBP 1,014 - clear aligners | Picasso Dental

Invisalign and clear aligner treatment at Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam - full tier and price table, candidacy guide, and UK patient workflow for remote aligner treatment.

Invisalign at Picasso Dental Clinic starts at GBP 1,014 for Essentials on one jaw and reaches GBP 4,348 for Comprehensive 5-year treatment - compared with GBP 2,903–GBP 4,355 at UK practices - with ClinCheck planning in Vietnam and aligner wear continuing at home in the UK.

Invisalign at Picasso Dental Clinic starts at GBP 1,014 for Essentials on one jaw. The full tier range goes up to GBP 4,348 for Comprehensive 5-year treatment. UK practices typically charge GBP 2,903–GBP 4,355 for comprehensive cases.

Invisalign is a different type of dental tourism compared to veneers or implants. The physical treatment (wearing aligners) happens at home in the UK — Vietnam is where the scan, planning, and delivery of starter aligner sets occurs. This makes it viable for UK patients who can commit to the remote workflow and 22-hours-per-day wear compliance.

This page covers every Invisalign package and price available at Picasso, who is a good candidate, the remote treatment workflow, and who should not use dental tourism for orthodontic treatment.

Choosing the right tier

Your situationRecommended tier
Minor crowding or spacing — one archEssentials or Express
Mild crowding both arches before veneersEssentials 2 jaws
Relapse after previous bracesLite or Express depending on severity
Moderate crowding needing more stagesLite or Moderate
Complex bite correction (overbite, underbite, significant crowding)Moderate or Comprehensive
Long-term case with refinement cycles expectedComprehensive 3 or 5 year

The ClinCheck software generates a precise 3D movement simulation. Your tier is confirmed after the initial scan — the quote may be revised up or down based on actual case complexity.

Who is a good candidate for Invisalign via dental tourism

Good fitPoor fit
Mild to moderate crowding or spacingComplex surgical orthodontic cases
Relapse after teenage bracesCases needing monthly in-chair adjustment with no remote option
Adults wanting discreet treatmentPatients who cannot commit to 22 hours/day wear
Patients planning veneers after alignmentChildren under 12 without parent managing compliance
Self-disciplined remote workers comfortable with digital communicationPatients wanting an orthodontist to see them in person monthly

Invisalign via dental tourism requires self-discipline. If you will not wear the aligners consistently, the trip and cost are wasted. This is the most important candidacy criterion.

Typical UK patient workflow

Before the trip:

  1. Submit photographs of teeth (front, left, right, top, bottom) via /free-quote/
  2. Receive recommended tier and quoted GBP total
  3. Medical and dental history reviewed

Trip to Vietnam (allow 5–7 days):

  1. Full oral examination and oral health check
  2. iTero digital scan (GBP 58 if not included) or traditional impression
  3. ClinCheck simulation created — review the digital tooth movement plan
  4. Approve or request modifications to the ClinCheck plan
  5. Attachments bonded to teeth if required for the aligner design
  6. Starter set of aligner trays delivered (typically 10–20 sets)
  7. Instructions, emergency contacts, and coordinator assigned

At home in the UK (duration depends on package):

  1. Wear each tray 22 hours/day; change on the prescribed schedule
  2. Remote photo check-ins at agreed milestones
  3. Replacement trays shipped if lost or damaged
  4. Refinement scan submitted when initial series is complete

Refinement trip (if needed):

  1. Return visit for scan and refinement tray delivery — or remote submission of scan where available

Retention:

  1. Clear retainers — GBP 29 per jaw (or Vivera from GBP 130 per jaw)
  2. Retainers are worn nightly to maintain result

Attachments and what to expect

Attachments are small tooth-coloured composite bumps bonded to specific teeth. They help aligners grip and apply precise rotational or torque forces. Not every case needs them. If your plan includes attachments, they are placed at the start of treatment and removed at completion. They are not visible from a conversational distance.

Retainers after Invisalign

All orthodontic treatment requires retainers. Without retention, teeth move back toward their pre-treatment position within months. Picasso provides:

Retainer typeGBP
Clear retainer (per jaw)GBP 29
Fixed retainer bonded to teeth (per jaw)GBP 58
Vivera retainer — 1 jaw, 1 pieceGBP 130
Vivera retainer — 2 jaws, 3 piecesGBP 406

Vivera retainers are the Invisalign-branded replacement retainer sets. They are made from the same scan and are harder-wearing than standard clear retainers. If you lose a UK-made retainer, your UK dentist can take a new impression and make a replacement independently.

Combining Invisalign with other treatment

The most common combination in dental tourism is Invisalign Lite or Essentials before veneers. The sequence:

  1. Invisalign aligns teeth to near-ideal position
  2. Retention period (wearing retainers)
  3. Veneer consultation and wax-up planning once teeth are stable
  4. Veneers or crowns placed — less tooth reduction needed because position is already corrected

This is preferred over veneers alone when mild crowding would otherwise require aggressive preparation to compensate. Veneers on badly aligned teeth — without prior alignment — need more enamel removal to achieve a straight appearance.

Traditional braces as an alternative

If the Invisalign price is outside budget or the case is more complex, traditional braces at Picasso are available from:

Brace typeMild caseComplex case
Traditional metalGBP 696GBP 1,333
Self-ligating metalGBP 986GBP 1,623
Traditional ceramicGBP 1,043GBP 1,681
Self-ligating ceramicGBP 1,333GBP 1,971

Braces require monthly adjustments, which is difficult for UK patients not living in Vietnam. Braces at Picasso are most practical for patients who are staying in Vietnam for an extended period, have family in Vietnam and visit regularly, or are dealing with a short active phase.

Who should not use dental tourism for orthodontics

  • Complex surgical cases requiring orthognathic (jaw) surgery — these need coordinated specialist care in one location
  • Patients who cannot commit to wearing aligners 22 hours per day
  • Cases needing extraction of teeth to create space — extraction orthodontics requires closely managed movement sequencing
  • Patients who want monthly in-person oversight

If your case is complex, consult a UK orthodontist first and discuss whether remote Picasso management is feasible for your specific tooth movement requirements.
