AUD cost guide
Invisalign cost in Vietnam vs Australia — 2026 AUD
Invisalign at Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam from AUD 1,980 (Essentials, 1 jaw) to AUD 8,480 (Comprehensive, 5-year) vs AUD 6,500–9,500 at Australian orthodontic clinics. Full AUD comparison and package breakdown.
Invisalign at Picasso Dental Clinic costs from AUD 1,980 (Essentials one jaw) to AUD 8,480 (Comprehensive five-year package) — compared with AUD 6,500–9,500 at Australian orthodontic clinics for a full Comprehensive course. Moderate two-jaw Invisalign at Picasso is AUD 5,935 versus AUD 7,500–9,000 in Australia.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to move teeth progressively. Picasso is an Invisalign-certified provider, and the case design, aligner fabrication, and monitoring protocol are the same as any Australian Invisalign practice. The cost difference comes from the same factor as every other treatment: Vietnamese clinic overhead is a fraction of Australian.
Invisalign prices at Picasso — May 2026 (AUD)
| Package | Price (AUD) | Scope | Best for |

| Essentials — 1 jaw | AUD 1,980 | One arch only; limited tooth movements | Minor crowding or spacing in one arch |
| Moderate — 2 jaws | AUD 5,935 | Both arches; moderate movements | Most adult orthodontic cases |
| Comprehensive — 5 years | AUD 8,480 | Both arches; complex movements; 5-year warranty | Complex cases, significant rotation, bite correction |
Refinements (additional aligner sets to fine-tune the result) are included within each package’s scope.
Australian Invisalign cost benchmarks
| Package | Typical AU range (AUD) |

| Invisalign Lite / Essentials (1 jaw) | AUD 2,500 – AUD 4,500 |
| Invisalign Moderate (2 jaws) | AUD 4,500 – AUD 7,500 |
| Invisalign Comprehensive | AUD 6,500 – AUD 9,500 |
All-in comparison — Moderate 2-jaw case
| Line item | Picasso Vietnam (AUD) | AU orthodontist (AUD) |
|---|---|---|
| Invisalign Moderate 2 jaws | AUD 5,935 | AUD 6,500 |
| Initial records and photos | Included | Included |
| Return flights SYD–HCMC | AUD 1,000 | n/a |
| 6 nights accommodation | AUD 450 | n/a |
| Total | AUD 7,385 | AUD 6,500 |
This comparison shows why Invisalign alone is rarely the primary reason to travel to Vietnam. The Moderate case saving is modest once trip costs are added. Invisalign works better as part of a combined case — initial orthodontic treatment in Vietnam alongside veneers, implants, or crowns planned in the same trip.
For Comprehensive cases, the saving is AUD 500–1,000 after trip costs — still modest as the sole reason to travel. The case for travelling is stronger when Invisalign is combined with other work.

Important note about ongoing Invisalign management
Invisalign requires aligner changes approximately every 1–2 weeks and progress checks every 6–8 weeks. Patients who complete the initial case setup in Vietnam need:
- A clear remote monitoring agreement with Picasso
- Willingness to share monthly photos
- Access to an Australian dentist for any in-person concerns
- Understanding that complex cases are harder to manage remotely
Picasso provides a monitoring protocol for international patients. Ask for this in your quote request.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Invisalign cost at Picasso Dental Clinic?
Invisalign prices at May 2026: Essentials 1 jaw AUD 1,980; Moderate 2 jaws AUD 5,935; Comprehensive 5 years AUD 8,480. Each includes the full aligner series, refinements within the package, and retainers. The package tier is determined by case complexity and the number of tooth movements required.
How much does Invisalign cost in Australia?
Australian Invisalign pricing typically ranges from AUD 6,500 to AUD 9,500 for a full Comprehensive course. Moderate cases (fewer movements) are commonly AUD 4,500–7,000. Essentials/Lite cases for minor corrections are AUD 2,500–4,500.
How does Invisalign abroad actually work for follow-up?
Invisalign is supervised by the treating dentist, not by Invisalign itself. At Picasso, the initial assessment, aligner series design, and monitoring protocol are completed during your first trip (typically 5–7 days for the initial setup). Subsequent check-in appointments can be done remotely via photos and scans, or at your local Australian dentist. Picasso coordinates the remote review process. This works well for straightforward cases but complex tooth movements benefit from in-person oversight.
Is Invisalign abroad a good idea?
The saving on Moderate and Comprehensive cases is real — AUD 1,500–3,000 on treatment cost. The practical challenge is ongoing supervision. Invisalign requires aligner changes every 1–2 weeks and periodic review to check progress. Patients who travel to Picasso for Invisalign typically have their initial case set up in Vietnam, then manage aligner changes and remote check-ins through their stay in Australia. Discuss your case complexity honestly in the free quote request.
Can private health fund cover Invisalign?
Yes — orthodontic treatment is covered under most private health fund extras policies. Item code 826 (removable orthodontic appliance) or 875 (comprehensive orthodontic treatment) may apply. Orthodontic annual or lifetime limits vary by policy — typically AUD 1,500–3,000 lifetime cap on mid-tier policies. Confirm with your fund.
