Orthodontics Defined
Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
Invisalign, but be aware that they are not for everyone. You need to be evaluated by an orthodontists that specializes in them to see if you qualify.
It depends on how much the orthodontist (or dentist) is charging for the Invisalign.
At our office the price is actually about the same. The down payment for the Invisalign is higher because of the lab fees that Align charges the office.
It would be best for you to contact a couple of offices and check their prices. Also, as someone else mentioned, Invisalign isn’t for everyone. A much better result is achieved with braces.
Invisalign is twice more expensive that wire braces..
I am not an orthodontist but I work in the dental insurance field. Invisalign is more expensive.
