Invisalign Vietnam from AUD 1,978 - clear aligners | Picasso Dental
Invisalign and clear aligner treatment at Picasso Dental Clinic Vietnam — full tier and AUD price table, candidacy guide, and Australian patient workflow for remote aligner treatment.
Invisalign at Picasso Dental Clinic starts at AUD 1,978 for Essentials on one jaw and reaches AUD 8,479 for Comprehensive 5-year treatment — compared with AUD 5,500–AUD 9,000 at Australian practices — with ClinCheck planning in Vietnam and aligner wear continuing at home in Australia.
Invisalign at Picasso Dental Clinic is the same proprietary system used at Australian practices — the same Align Technology manufacturing, the same ClinCheck digital planning software, the same aligner materials. The difference is AUD 1,978–AUD 8,479 versus AUD 5,500–AUD 9,000 in Australia, and that your treatment is initiated in Vietnam with follow-up managed remotely or on a short return trip.

How Picasso compares to Australian Invisalign costs
| Tier | Picasso (AUD) | AU practice range (AUD) | Indicative saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials (both jaws) | AUD 2,977 | AUD 3,500 – AUD 6,500 | AUD 523 – AUD 3,523 |
| Comprehensive | AUD 6,913 | AUD 7,000 – AUD 9,000 | AUD 87 – AUD 2,087 |
| Comprehensive (5yr) | AUD 8,479 | AUD 8,000 – AUD 9,500 | Up to AUD 1,021 |
The saving on Invisalign is smaller than on veneers or implants. Invisalign is most compelling when combined with a smile makeover — the alignment precedes the veneer plan and is priced into the same trip budget.
How Invisalign works for Australian patients — step by step
- Pre-trip: Send photographs and a brief description of alignment concerns. Picasso provides an indicative written plan and tier recommendation.
- Trip 1 (2–4 days minimum): Digital scan (iTero or similar), ClinCheck simulation, plan approval, first aligner sets dispensed.
- In Australia: Wear aligners per schedule (usually 22 hours per day, changing sets every 1–2 weeks). Progress photos sent remotely.
- Refinements: Additional aligner sets posted or collected on a brief follow-up trip. Significant changes need a new scan — either remotely supervised with a local scanner or a return visit.
- Retention: Retainers fitted at the end of active treatment — either at Picasso or arranged with an Australian provider.
Candidacy
| Case type | Invisalign suitable? |
|---|---|
| Mild crowding or spacing | Yes |
| Moderate crowding | Yes — Lite or Moderate tier |
| Significant overbite or underbite | Case-by-case — may need fixed braces |
| Rotations | Mild only — significant rotations suit fixed braces |
| Missing teeth requiring implants | Plan implants first or simultaneously with orthodontics |
| Children under 12 | Usually not — see Invisalign Teen protocols |

Frequently asked questions
How does Invisalign work if I live in Australia?
Treatment is planned at Picasso in Vietnam — scans, ClinCheck digital simulation, and initial aligner sets. You return to Australia wearing the first sets. Subsequent aligner sets are either posted to you or collected on a short follow-up trip. Refinements are assessed remotely and in-person at a follow-up visit if needed.
Is Invisalign from Vietnam as good as from an Australian orthodontist?
Invisalign is a proprietary system — the aligner technology is identical regardless of where it is initiated. The quality of treatment depends on the treating clinician's planning and monitoring, not the country of origin.
How much is Invisalign in Australia?
Australian Invisalign treatment typically costs AUD 5,500–AUD 9,000 for full comprehensive treatment. Shorter courses (Lite, Essentials) range from AUD 3,500–AUD 6,500 depending on case complexity and practice location.
What if I need refinements when I am back in Australia?
Refinements are coordinated with your Picasso provider. Minor adjustments can be managed with additional aligner sets posted from Vietnam. Significant refinements requiring new scans need a follow-up appointment — either remotely managed or on a short return trip.
Is Invisalign better than traditional braces?
Invisalign suits mild to moderate crowding and spacing. Traditional fixed braces suit complex cases including significant bite corrections. Picasso's written assessment states which is appropriate for your case.
Can I combine Invisalign with veneers on the same trip?
Invisalign is usually done before veneers — aligners correct crowding first, then veneers address colour and shape on straightened teeth. Combining both on the same trip is sometimes possible for mild cases but is discussed in your written plan.
