Geneva Adult Orthodontics Prize 2026: Invisalign and Appliances
Orthodontics for adults is booming in Geneva. More and more patients aged 30, 40 or 50 are consulting to realign their teeth. The reasons are aesthetic and functional. Modern solutions are discreet, efficient, and adapted to professional life.
But how much does it cost? Here are the updated prices for 2026 in Geneva, with a focus on the options offered at Studio Smile in Chêne-Bougeries.
Why do adults have orthodontics?
The motivations are multiple.
Aesthetics. Aligned teeth improve your smile and self-confidence. This is the number one reason among adults.
Function. Poor alignment causes uneven tooth wear, muscle tension, jaw pain (TMJ), and difficulty chewing.
Hygiene. Crowded teeth are more difficult to clean. The risk of cavities and gum disease increases.
Preparation for other treatments. Prior alignment facilitates the placement of crowns, veneers or implants.
Adult orthodontics options in Geneva
Invisalign (clear aligners)
Invisalign is the solution most requested by adults. Custom-made clear aligners move teeth gradually. They are almost invisible. They retire to eat and brush their teeth.
Advantages: maximum discretion, comfort, easy hygiene, fewer consultations. Limitations: does not correct all complex cases. Requires discipline (wearing 22 hours a day).
Fixed ceramic appliances
Ceramic braces are tooth-colored. They are more discreet than classic metal rings. They correct all types of malocclusion.
Advantages: high correction power, precise result, suitable for complex cases. Limits: visible up close, more demanding cleaning, monthly consultations.
Fixed metal appliances
Classic metal braces remain the most powerful option. They are rarely chosen by adults for aesthetic reasons, but they are sometimes necessary for very complex cases.
Lingual orthodontics
The brackets are glued to the inside of the teeth. Totally invisible. This is the most discreet option but also the most expensive.

Important note. Every mouth is different. The exact price depends on the complexity of the case, the duration of treatment and the type of device chosen. A personalized quote is established after consultation with Studio Smile.
What influences the price?
The complexity of the case. A simple anterior crowding costs less than a class II correction with open bite.
The duration of the treatment. The longer the treatment, the more the cost increases (monitoring, adjustments, materials).
The type of appliance. Invisalign and lingual are more expensive than traditional braces.
Prior care. If dental care (cavities, scaling, extraction) is necessary before orthodontics, it is added to the total budget.
Insurance and reimbursement for adult orthodontics
LAMal basic insurance does not cover adult orthodontics in Switzerland. This is an important point to understand.
Supplementary dental insurance can cover part of the costs. The amount varies depending on the contract: from 1,000 to 5,000 CHF over the duration of the treatment. Please note: these insurance policies often impose a waiting period of 12 to 24 months.
Tip: Take out supplemental dental insurance before you need care. Once the diagnosis has been made, it is too late to be sure.
Payment facilities at Studio Smile
Studio Smile offers payment in installments. Up to 24 monthly payments free of charge for orthodontic treatments. This solution makes adult orthodontics accessible without bank credit.
A concrete example: an Invisalign Comprehensive treatment at 6,500 CHF comes to around 270 CHF per month over 24 months.

FAQ
Is Invisalign as effective as braces? Yes for the majority of cases. Invisalign today treats simple to moderate malocclusions with the same effectiveness. For very complex cases, rings are sometimes still necessary.
Does adult orthodontics hurt? A slight pressure is felt the first days after each adjustment or change of tray. It is not painful in the strong sense. A simple painkiller is sufficient if necessary.
Can we do orthodontics with crowns or implants? Yes, but the treatment plan must take this into account. The implants do not move. Wreaths can receive attachments. The orthodontist adapts the strategy accordingly.
How long should you wear Invisalign aligners per day? 22 hours per day minimum. They are only removed to eat, drink (except water), and brush your teeth. Compliance with this wearing time determines the success of the treatment.
At what age is it too late for orthodontics? There is no age limit. Patients aged 60 or 70 are being treated. The only condition is to have healthy gums and bone.
