Moving to another country half way through treatment

Hi everyone. I am seriously considering Invisalign as I am sick and tired of my crowded teeth. My issue is that although I want to get started ASAP, I am planning a move from the UK to the US at the end of this year. Will it be possible to start the treatment here in the UK? Do you get all of your aligners at once (in which case I could take them with me and have a new ortho in the US look after the progress) - or would I be able to pay for only the first half of the trays, etc?

If anyone has any experience with this situation, any info would be appreciated. I have finally made the serious decision to do something about my teeth and I'd hate to now wait until I move to start this.

Generally it is a bad idea to start in one location and finish somewhere else.

Invariably it will cost more money and not every doctor wil take an invisalign transfer case.
