Thank you for the transparency. I have my consultation this Monday for Invisalign. I guess I will be getting braces lol

Good explanation Dr. C, I've definitely asked you this question in the office haha.

Love it. Great channel by the way!!

Thank you... on the update with moderate and complete..

I was quoted $6900 for 25 months worth of Invisaligns. Seemed a little steep. But after listening to you sounds like it’s about right considering the length of time. The ortho may need to do an extraction due to crowding as well.

Mine require 14 trays (7 mths, 2wks per tray) and costs about USD 6,500 with Invisaline (my down payment was 100% lol). Dr. Nate is right, it can get complex and that's because everyone's mouth is different.

Did you have insurance?

Sir how much did you make as an orthodontist last year? Nice video.

Nice summary

How much do you think it would be if you only wanna fix one tooth that’s separated from the others and how long would it take ??

Damn I wish I wasn’t broke lol

I should of listened to this videos before my down payment is 2k and 6500$ at the end😂😂😂

Palo Alto CA quoted $8000!!!

My dentist said it’ll cost me $8k, I was baffled 😮

What insurance does invisilign accept?

thank you for this

How did they work out

Mine was $6,600 for 14 months but if I decided in 24 hrs they gave me $6,200. So I paid $6,200. ( insurance doesn’t cover )

I am doing Invisalign right now. My treatment coordinator said it should be at least partially covered if I get dental insurance because it is medically necessary. I will be disappointed if the insurance says I am too old.

But how much would it be only for my top teeth because I had braces twice and I lost my retainer and now my top teeth are a little crooked..

Beautiful house man!!

No problemo!

Your opinion on how long/difficult it would be to close the gaps on the upper teeth. They are not that spaced out probably 1-2mm on specific teeth. No crooked teeth on upper or lower and the bottom teeth are all straight and have no gap issues.

Hi Dr. Nate, I have slightly crooked teeth upper and bottom are good /no overbite. Could I get Invisalign on for the upper teeth?

@ThriveDentist

3 жыл бұрын

Hard to fully but definitely sounds like you are a great candidate for Invisalign.

I have a slight underbite my two front top teeth are crooked and are behind my bottom teeth when I smile. I’m thinking it’s not gonna take as long to fix it since it’s not all my top teeth. Do you know it’s it gonna be cheaper since it won’t take as long or how does that work?

I thought he gonna tell us roughly how much it cost to make such plastic.. but he didn’t.

Unfortunately my insurance only covered me for invisalign or braces up to 18 years old. So i'll have to pay out of pocket 😔. How many trays do you think this will take to correct an over bite?

Hi! I got my braces off over a year ago or so and I didn’t wear my retainers unfortunately :(, but my orthodontist said that my bottom won’t shift at all but my top has. If I just want to close up the spaces at the top and do nothing to the bottom, what’s your estimate of a price range with Invisalign? Any feedback would be great, Thank you!

I’m in the same situation and yet my ortho quoted about $6,300. If my bottom teeth need zero treatment and it’s just a couple small gaps on top from not wearing my retainer, it shouldn’t be the very top of the range like this as though I have insane teeth.

I got Quoted 4000 or 3400 dollars. Is that suspiciously low?

Mine was 6700 for 6 months. luckily my two dental insurances cover $3700 of it.

Why does insurance matter or not? Whatever the price is should be the price. The fact that you guys openly admitted to scamming and raising the price of the work. Because the insurance company has deeper pockets is ridiculous. Everybody in this dental industry is scamming. Medical insurance doesn't cover its insurance covers one tenth of the cost. It is why most people walk around with terrible dental hygiene because it's a damn Racket. Nothing in the industry is the price off x y z. The dental industry and insurance. Fell deep in the societal cracks. Hasn't kept up with the times at all . Coverage amount is behind about fifty years compared to inflation.

Too much tooth. Really, who smiles like that?

I lost my retainers after 2 1/2 years of braces. My teeth have barely shifted afterwords but my retainers don’t fit snuggly and well anymore (bottom is worse than top-too is almost completely normal just really tight) but I can still get them on. Would the retainers correct it after awhile or should I look into Invisalign ?
