Invisible braces in Hong Kong: what they cost and who sells them
Every clear aligner brand that treats patients in Hong Kong, with its price in Hong Kong dollars exactly as it states it, what a dental group charges for Invisalign and a hospital for braces, what the Consumer Council found when it studied aligner companies, and what public care and VHIS leave out.
Of the brands that treat patients in Hong Kong and publish a price, Lulusmiles starts lowest: from HK$7,999 for Lulusmiles Lite, before the dentist's own charges. Invisalign is priced by each dentist; one dental group starts all orthodontic treatment at HK$30,000. The government's orthodontic clinics serve civil servants and eligible persons only, so most people pay themselves.

What the Consumer Council found, and who may be called a specialist
What matters is who examines you in person and who answers for your treatment. In each body's own words:
- The Consumer Council. “the Consumer Council’s survey, which inquired about the clear aligner treatment information from 6 clear aligner companies, revealed that only 4 provided dental check-ups and treatment follow-ups by a registered dentist in Hong Kong.” (Consumer Council) “The Council points out that orthodontics is a professional service and a dental treatment that must be performed and monitored by a registered dentist.” (Consumer Council) Its advice: “Even if orthodontic treatments are claimed to be provided by a registered dentist in Hong Kong, it is important to understand the extent of the dentist's involvement, e.g. whether only an initial dental examination is provided, or full involvement including the formulation of an orthodontic plan, regular follow-up consultations and face-to-face follow-up, etc.;” (Consumer Council)
- Specialist orthodontists. A 2005 government paper to the Legislative Council on the Dental Council's rule: “In 2001, the HKDC decided that only dentists who have been awarded a Fellowship in dental surgery by the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine (HKAM) or of equivalent status and have complied with the continuing education requirement set by the HKAM may be accredited as specialists and be authorized to use a specialist title.” (LegCo)
- The devices. “To safeguard public health, the DH has drawn on recommendations from the Global Harmonization Task Force (now known as the International Medical Device Regulators Forum) and introduced the voluntary MDACS in 2004.” (Department of Health) The Department's plan for a statutory system: “Under the new framework, all medical devices supplied in Hong Kong will require registration unless exempted, ensuring compliance with relevant safety, quality, and performance standards,” (Department of Health)
