Does Invisalign cost the same whether you straighten top or bottom teeth or both?
I only need to straighten my bottom teeth, and my dentist recommended Invisalign. I was given a rough quote of $5000, but I don't think this was customized to my case. Does anyone know if Invisalign costs less if you only fix the top or bottom teeth, or is it $5000 always? Also, my insurance says it covers 50% of orthodontics but doesn't mention Invisalign. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

Hi!
I do lots of Invisalign in my practice.
Invisalign charges us the same whether just the top teeth are done, just the bottom teeth are done, or if both top and bottom are done.
So in 99% of the cases a dentist will charge you the same whether you do just one arch or 2.
Simply because our bill to Invisalign is the same. And whether or not you are wearing one tray or two does not change the number of visits or the amount of chairtime we schedule for you.
Sorry!

invisalign works different than braces. with invisalign, the ortho takes impressions and sends off to the company, the company then sends all the trays back to the ortho office. the ortho knows exactly where your teeth should be each month. it is different with braces. your teeth shift different when you are in brackets. you might want to ask if invisalign is a possibility when you finish the treatment of just the bottom teeth. braces are actually the best option, i would just stick to braces
