Are Clear Aligners Cheaper than Metal Braces in 2026?

Based on the 2026 pricing data from Parkside Dental Group, clear aligners (Invisalign) are generally slightly more expensive than traditional metal braces.

While both options provide effective results, the costs in Canada typically break down as follows:

  • Metal Braces: The cost for traditional braces usually ranges from $2,500 to $7,000 CAD.
  • Clear Aligners (Invisalign): The cost for Invisalign generally ranges from $3,000 to $8,000 CAD.

Ultimately, the final price for either treatment depends on the complexity of your specific case and the total duration of the treatment. For example, Invisalign often has a shorter average treatment time for adults (12โ€“18 months) compared to metal braces (18โ€“24 months), which can influence the overall value.
