Invisalign...?
Also known as invisible braces, Invisalign is promoted as an "invisible" way of straightening teeth without using traditional braces. The primary advantage of Invisalign is cosmetic; the aligners are difficult to detect, and virtually invisible. Treatment price is set by the dentist or orthodontist, although the cost of treatment varies considerably by doctor. I charge $2500 US, though in the NYU dental school, they only charge $500 US.


Average treatment time is less than a year, depending on the complexity of the treatment.





Invisible braces are not, however, a complete replacement for conventional braces. Invisalign is not intended for children and is not appropriate for everyone. They cannot move teeth that are not fully erupted yet. They are not good for severe crowding. If you are interested, get a consultant from your dentist or orthodontist and they should tell you if you are qualified

Take less time than braces


Look better


Can be taken out to eat and brush


Give you a great smile





Consult a dentist who is certified with Invisalign. Consult the Invisalign website for a list of dentists where you live. There is a lot of good info on that site as well.
Reply:invisalign is great. I'm a dental assistant and just finished my own invisalign treatment. Not every one is a canidate, but they're really invisible, no one notices. Just remember to take the aligners out in the car before going to a restaurant so you're not stuck having to run to the bathroom to do it. Other than little things like that they work great and beat traditional braces
Reply:Invisalign are only good if your teeth are not that bad, my daughter's orthodontist said they are no good. Not like the real braces. Hope this helps.
