My orthodontist/doctor says that i need braces. I toldd him that i didn’t want braces, i was wondering if I could have invisaline. He said that it will only last a few years and then your teeth will go back to the way that they are now, my bottom and top rows of teeth . . . → Read More: What Other Teeth Options Are There Besides Braces To Fix My Teeth?

I’m about fourteen, and most of my dental imperfections aren’t noticeable by most people. However, I notice them. One of my two front teeth is slightly out of place, and I have tiny little gaps on my bottom row. Everything else is perfect.
I have an orthodontist appointment in two weeks, and I’m just wondering what they will probably suggest to my parents. Most importantly, I want to know how my mouth is going to spend the next few years of my life.
Also, do you think I qualify for InvisAlign? I’ve already read all of the pros and cons, so you don’t have to post them.

Orthodontist Wants To Extract One Bottom Tooth – What Are My Other Options?

Orthodontics Editor — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:11:22 +0000

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…

Orthodontists Help? Invisalign Or Any Other Affordable Option For The Look Im Going To Achieve? Orthoclear?

I’m an 18 year old male and have been looking into Invisalign. I was told today that it would cost $7000 for me to have them done. I believe the dentist was trying to rip me off. I would need only very minor work such as closing a very small gap, a small touch up if you will. I went to see another orthodontist about 2 months ago and told me he could use OrthoClear on me for $4200. He also said the process would only take 9 months as opposed to this other lady that told me it would take a year with the $7000 invisalign. She also mentioned that some “invisible”, thin tooth colored braces were much cheaper and time would also be a year. She did not provide a price.
I’m a college student and cannot afford $7000. The $4200 is still much but more plausible. What would you recommend? The less treatment time overall is a plus but finance is the big factor.
Should I keep visiting orthodontists for consultations? I’m in southern cali in Norwalk.
