At Kanaka Creek Family Dental in Maple Ridge, Invisalign treatment starts at $4,500, with the final fee depending on how complex your case is and how long treatment takes. We follow the BC Dental Fee Guide — we don't add an upcharge on top of it.
Cost is usually the first question people ask about clear aligners, and it's often the hardest answer to find. Here's a straight explanation of what Invisalign costs in Maple Ridge, what changes the price, and how to find out your exact number.
How Much Does Invisalign Cost in Maple Ridge?
Invisalign at our Maple Ridge clinic starts at $4,500. Simpler cases — minor crowding, mild spacing, or minor relapse after previous orthodontics — sit at the lower end. More involved cases that need more aligners and more months of treatment cost more.
Rather than quote a wide, vague range, we give you an exact figure in writing after a consultation and digital scan, so you know the full number before you commit to anything.
We Follow the BC Dental Fee Guide
The British Columbia Dental Association publishes a suggested fee guide each year. We follow it and don't charge above it. That matters when you're comparing quotes: two clinics in the same city can quote quite differently for identical treatment, because the guide is a suggestion, not a cap. Ask any clinic you're considering whether they bill at, above, or below the BC Fee Guide.
What Affects the Price of Your Invisalign Treatment?
- How complex the movement is — mild crowding needs fewer aligners than a significant bite correction.
- How long treatment runs — shorter cases use fewer aligner sets. Some minor cases finish in a few months; comprehensive cases can run 12–18 months or more.
- Whether one arch or both need treatment.
- Additional work — occasionally a case benefits from attachments, elastics, or a companion treatment like MARPE expansion.
- Retainers after treatment — needed to hold your result long term.
Does Insurance or the CDCP Cover Invisalign?
Many extended health plans include orthodontic coverage, often as a lifetime maximum that applies to clear aligners the same as it would to braces. Coverage for adults varies more than for children, so it's worth checking your specific plan.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers a range of dental services; orthodontic coverage under the CDCP is limited and case-dependent. Our team will run a predetermination through your provider before you start, so you know your actual out-of-pocket amount rather than an estimate.
Is Invisalign Worth It Compared to Braces?
Traditional braces and clear aligners often land in a similar price bracket for comparable cases. The real difference is the experience: aligners are removable, have no metal brackets or wires, are easier to clean around, and most people find them more comfortable and far less noticeable. For adults especially, that's usually the deciding factor rather than cost.
We plan every case digitally using a Primescan scanner — no goopy impressions — so you can see the projected outcome before starting.
