Does invisalign cost more??

I dont wanna have metal braces in high school (im a freshmen)but i dont want my parents to pay more for invisalign. Does anyone know if they cost more then braces or how long they would take to straighten my teeth (my teeth are pretty straight there are just a couple of spaces. )?

Does invisalign cost more??
Yes, and I tried to do that also and my orthodontist wouldn't let me, you have to have the right kind of mouth/problems. So they're not for everybody no matter how they market it. Good luck though! If they were the same price, and anyone could use them...wouldn't everybody have them instead of metal braces?
Reply:The Invisalign price varies between $5800 and $7500 but often can be as low as $4000 based upon the difficulty of orthodontic treatment. Most adults require both upper and lower arch orthodontic treatment. These cases are often between $6200 and $6800.





Some adult cases just require minor tooth movements and the Invisalign braces price in these cases is often much less and as low as $4000. An Invisalign case can often be limited to the upper and lower front teeth. The cost and treatment time for these minor orthodontic cases is reduced.
Reply:get the metal braces then. i'm a junior with them and i don't get made fun of. in fact, i have a lot of friends and my social life is perfectly fine. get the braces and get it over with. you'll have them off next year if your teeth are fairly straight anyway. i wish i got mine freshman year. trust me, it's not as bad as you think.
Reply:Yes, they cost more, at least in my area.





Some friends of ours have three daughters who all need braces, and two of them really resisted the traditional metal ones. When they looked into cost, they found out that Invisalign costs anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 times as much as traditional braces. Also, many dental programs will not cover them, even if they offer orthodontic care in the benefits.





If you don't want a regular old "tin grin", you might find out if you can get the colored ones. In the last few years I have seen white, pink, orange, and light blue braces on people's teeth.





And just remember, braces are a really big deal if you have to have them, but almost everyone I know had them growing up, so it wasn't a big deal. It was just a rite of passage of sorts, and I kind of felt left out because I didn't need them.
Reply:I'm always surprised to read that people find Invisalign costs more than traditional braces. Where I live, Invisalign is consistantly lower cost.





General dentists who are certified to provide Invisalign treatment should charge less than orthodontists.





I live in a big city, and Invisalign starts at $2700 for a simple case. In my office, even an extensive case would not be more than $5000.
