Invisalign

Is Invisalign CRA eligible in Canada?

Yes. Invisalign falls under orthodontic work, which is a CRA-eligible medical expense under paragraph 118.2(2)(a) of the Income Tax Act. Amounts paid to a licensed dentist or orthodontist for dental services — including orthodontic treatment — qualify for the Medical Expense Tax Credit (METC) and are reimbursable through a Health Spending Account (HSA).

What Qualifies

• Full Invisalign treatment performed by a licensed dentist or orthodontist
• Pre-treatment consultations and dental imaging
• Custom aligner trays throughout the treatment cycle
• Follow-up appointments, adjustments, and refinements
• Retainers required upon completion of treatment
• Attachments or interproximal reduction (IPR) performed as part of the orthodontic plan

What Does Not Qualify

• Mail-order aligner kits from providers who are not licensed dental professionals
• Whitening trays or retainers with no orthodontic correction purpose

Good to Know

• Documents to keep: Treatment plan and all receipts from your dental provider.
