Invisalign...??

i talked to my dentist today and he said i need braces or invisalign i would have them for one and a half years. My brother has braces and it costs us $90 a month. How much will invisalign be each month?








thanks.

Invisalign...??
By "us" I assume you mean your family - as in your parents are paying.





Your dentist will likely make a recommendation on which treatment (braces or Invisalign) will give the best results.





In most dental offices, payment plans work like this: A substantial down payment of 25% to 30%. The rest of the amount is divided by the months of expected treatment (less any insurance).





So for example: Treatment cost is $4000. Down payment of 25% would be $1000. $3000 would remain to be financed. If you will be in treatment for 12 months, the payments would be $250 per month. More down payment would, of course, reduce the monthly payments.
Reply:it depends on your insurance and what they cover. I havent seen too many invisalign cases last more than 1 year, but if you have a choice, go with invisalign. In my opinion its easer on the teeth and on you, you dont have to have anything cemented to your teeth and its not noticable so you wont be self conscious about them. The office should be able to tell you how much they cost and how much you will have to pay out of pocket.


In my experience metal braces can cost as much as 6 or 7000. In the office I work at invisalign is 3-4000.
Reply:Generally, Invisalign costs the same as traditional braces, and sometimes more.





When you say you are paying $90 a month, it sounds like you are on some sort of plan. I will give you the real costs. Two years of regular metal braces costs about $5,000 on average in the USA. Ceramic braces cost more, and Invisalign can cost more as well, depending on your orthodontist.
