I just started invisalign to straighten my teeth, but I’m doing express, which means its only for 5 months. The animation they showed me shows that my teeth will be straight when I’m done, but the center line (space between two top and two bottom teeth) won’t be exact. It will be improved, but not equal. The orthodontist told me it shouldn’t affect anything and was purely cosmetic. Also, he said fixing that would call for a much longer treatment and more $. So I’m perfectly fine with it as long as my teeth are straight, but what does that alignment mean? I only need to straighten my bottom teeth, and my dentist recommended Invisalign. I was given a rough quote of $5000, but I don’t think this was customized to my case. Does anyone know if Invisalign costs less if you only fix the top or bottom teeth, or is it $5000 always? Also, my insurance says it covers 50% of orthodontics but doesn’t mention Invisalign. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks! its the clear like invisalign ones and another thing i lost them friday night its now sunday and the orthodontist wont be in until monday.. will my teeth shift? Hi im 25 and am currently thinking about getting invisalign. I went to the orthodontist and he said i was a good candidate and right at the end i asked him “will i need to have any extractions?” and he said “yes, one of the front bottom teeth”. I was a bit in shock because i’ve seen other cases of crowding like mine on websites that didnt need extractions and just the thought of removing a healthy tooth kills me. Im going to go back next time and ask him if i could not do the extraction and just do a bit more filing…or maybe i could get normal wire braces on the bottom teeth if that means i could keep that tooth. My bite is fine its just the crookedness appearance i want to fix. Heres a pic of my teeth, if you have any advice for me. I guess what i want to know is if he’d be less likely to pull that tooth if i got wire braces on the bottom teeth.http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/rr4/k… |
