Invisalign Review – “How Much Is Invisalign?”

Invisalign Price?

It seems that in my Invisalign Review the question that is on everyone’s mind that visits my blog is – “How Much Is Invisalign?”

Here’s a breakdown of mine…

Invisalign consultation………… Free

Creation of molds………………… Free

Invisalign animation and projection of what teeth will look like……. Free

(At this point, once you agree to going through with the process, they start to charge you here)

“What I’m Paying”, total – $4500

The $4500 is for:

The appointment with the dentist or ortho to put on the Invisalign Attachments and give you your first set of Invisalign Retainers

The Invisalign retainers

Followup appointments

Final alignment

My insurance is actually kicking in to give me a one time $1000 credit towards my Invisalign procedure. I have Delta Dental Insurance.

Invisalign Pricing?

$4500 seems to be at the cheap end of the estimates that I had got from orthos and dentists in my area. The highest estimate I got was from an ortho who quoted me at $6500. There was another ortho who quoted $6000 + X ray fee of about $200. A few dentists were right around $4500 – $5000. I really am happy that I got the price I did with the dentist I always use. I trust him and have always had great luck going to him for cleanings and maintenance of my teeth.

Also, my overall Invisalign Review takes into account that the price is effected by how long you have to have the Invisalign retainers, the condition of your mouth, location in the country, etc. My mouth is in ok shape in terms of how far my teeth have to move. I was told 1 year to have Invisalign in order to correct my teeth and I live in Scottsdale, AZ.

Hope this helps!

Invisalign Review – My Teeth At The End Of Invisalign Retainer 1/26

For my first Invisalign Review I don’t really notice a whole lot of change but that’s normal. This was the first Invisalign retainer out of the 26 that I’m supposed to have.
What I’ve learned in the first two weeks of Invisalign

At first I was really stressed out… “Is this noticeable?”, “Can people see my Invisalign attachments?”, “Will this pain/pressure ever go away?”, “Will this lisp ever go away?”, “1 year of this?!”. These were all thoughts running through my mind right after I left the dentist’s office.

Invisalign is not noticeable

Atleast in my situation. I had one person ask me what was on my teeth in 2 weeks. That’s pretty good.

People can’t even see my Invisalign buttons or attachments

I showed my coworkers my teeth and no one admitted to seeing my attachments. My dentist did a great job of blending them with the color of my teeth. This was the part that I thought that I would be the most self-concious about however the attachments aren’t bad.

The Invisalign pressure goes away!

In my Invisalign Review, I noticed that within about 3 or 4 days the pressure from the Invisalign retainer totally subsided. You’re teeth will move, then the Invisalign retainer will hold them in place. By the end of your second week, they will be really loose and super easy to get off.

The truth about the Invisalign lisp

The lisp goes about 90% away. I still feel like I talk with a minor lisp. This might just be me. I kinda feel like I talk like that anyway.

My first Invisalign Review is not bad at all!!

It’s been going great and it’s only the beginning of week 3. I will definitely keep you posted so keep checking updates on my Invisalign Review.

Invisalign Review – Moving Along To Invisalign Retainer 2/26

I just put my second Invisalign retainer is in!

I feel a little pressure but its not that bad. The pressure is the worst part of my Invisalign Review this week. Not nearly as bad as the first day of the first retainer. I also have adapted to pulling them out and puting them in easily.

Here’s a tip!

Most people put their new Invisalign retainers in in the morning so you immediately feel that pain and pressure. Why not put the new
