I’m thinking about getting Invisalign in place of traditional braces. I was quoted $7500 total for them.
This is a lot of money and my insurance does not cover orthodontics.
With that said, I expect them to work and work well. I plan on wearing them the required 22 hours out of the day and following all recommendations perfectly.
My questions are for people who have worn Invasalign only, please:
-Are you satisified with your results?
-Was it worth the money?
-If you could do it over, would you opt for traditional braces as they are said to work better.
-Were they painful?

I currently have a palatal expander in to fix my crossbite, and i am starting to develop a small gap in between my front teeth due to the expansion. After the expander is taken out the orthodontist wants to put in metal braces to fix the space the the expansion has caused. I was wondering if instead of braces i could get invisalign?

This happened to my last tray towards the end and it was fine, but I just started this one on Sunday and I feel a small crack. Its in between two teeth and not all the way through, as the tray is still in one piece and seems to be working fine. Since I replace trays every two weeks, do I need to do anything since its not major and doesn’t seem to be affecting anything?
Also, I had lingual attachments added yesterday and two came off. I’ll probably get them replaced next week, but how much would it affect me if I didn’t get them replaced till my appointment next month? They were on my pre-molars I think on one side?? All other attachments are fine, my teeth are very sore so I know its working. Any orthodontists with an opinion?

All four of my canines are twisted, and I have a lateral next to one of my canines that is back extremely far but not a crossbite. I went to an orthodontist about 4 years ago and said braces for 2 years is the only option. This was before I got my wisdom teeth out. I then got them out about a year later. Do you think the options can change since they’re out now? What do you think? It won’t matter which one, b/c I want perfectly straight teeth. Thank you.

It’s Thursday night and I believe I lost them yesterday at school. These are the last aligners before getting my final retainers. I’m actually pretty much done but still had to wear them because I have an implant crown that needs to be replaced before getting the final retainer.
I have no contact with my orthodontist until Monday. His office is closed tomorrow. I’ll only be able to see him Monday but the thing is, I feel I really need something to keep my teeth in line before Monday comes along. I know, from experience, that if I don’t wear my aligners for more than one day, my teeth do shift a little (I notice this because when I put my aligners back in, I feel the pressure).
I need something to retain my bite. I have a really nice general dentist. You think I can have her make me a retainer (I’m willing to pay whatever).
I’m just so worried. Advice?

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!

I previously had braces for about 4 years, and had them taken off when I was 14… now I’m about to be 22, and my front teeth are becoming crooked again (a slight overlap) since, unfortunately, my orthodontist never told me I had to wear my retainer for the rest of my life (as many of my friends have also come to find out as well). I only want to get braces on my top teeth, and my insurance will not cover me getting braces a second time… I know that the price varies widely depending on the case and I was wondering if anyone knew of a rough estimate for minor work.

My lower aligner is busted. Not completely, it’s a got a crack in it which means the aligner isn’t as snug on my back teeth as it should be.
First, I think I cracked it because I got 3 buttons put on my bottom teeth and it’s tough taking that aligner out with those on. It always feels like the thing is going to break when I take it out. Anyone else have those buttons on and know an easy way to take the aligner out? I try and get the back part off first but it’s tough and I feel like I’m pulling it and bending it too much.
And then, my dilema is should I call the orthodontist? I really don’t want to pay for a replacement aligner. I’ve heard they’re kinda pricey. I’ve had it in a week. Is it possible to just go to the next aligner if it fits and then wear that for extra time? I’m just worried that the next one will crack too and then I’ll have 2 cracked aligners. To call or not to call?
