I Want To Switch To Invisalign..?

By Orthodontics Editor, on June 12th, 2009

I am starting high school this year and I really don’t want to have braces when I start. My orthodontist said that my braces will be off in about four months which means I will have braces for the first two months of grade nine. I was thinking about asking him to take off my braces now and switch to invisalign but I am not sure if it is worth it. Money is not that much of an issue but is it pointless to switch now?
Thanks so much

Would It Cost Extra To Switch From Regular Braces To Invisalign?

By Orthodontics Editor, on May 30th, 2009

I want to get rid of braces metal braces and get invisalign. I want to know if it would cost extra to switch because I don’t even want to bring it up with my parents if it does because they’ll say I ask for to much. I kind of agree with them but I still don’t want to hear them tell me that. My orthodontist is qualified to do the invisalign, I’ve had my braces for about 7 months now. So would it cost extra if so how much more?

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).
