Is the price of invisalign standard?!


Question: got a consultation. quoted $5995. was told the price was based on total time, & not broken down by top & bottom. top set would be for 10-12 months & the lower set would be for about 5. includes 1 consultation per month & 2 trays per month. also includes a whitening. the doc made it sound like that was a bonus just thrown. seems kinda pricey to me, but i can spread it out across 18 months (interest free) so seriously considering it but wondering if it's like 1 of those things i can shop around for or if it's standard pricing so don't bother. is it more expensive just cuz i live in nyc (not like going across state lines every other wk is an option)? just curious. thx for any feedback.

The price is not standard. Your orthodontist or dentist will charge whatever they feel people will pay. Usually the specialist, orthodontist, will charge more. Orthodontist are much better at deciding if this is the right kind of treatment for you or not and have much more experience, so IMHO are worth more.

HELLO,

DID YOUR DENTIST TELL YOU HIS COSTS TO HAVE THE LAB MANUFACTURE THE ALIGNERS?
I DON'T THINK SO.
THIS IS NOWHERE NEAR THE FIGURE YOU WERE QUOTED, BUT IT DES COST AROUND $1,800 FOR A COMPLETE SET OF ALIGNERS.
DID YOU ASK DIFFERENT DENTISTS WHAT THEY CHARGED FOR INVISALIGN?

The deal you got for them is much cheaper than what my orthodontist told me which were about $7500 (2 1/2 year plan.)

Personally, I wouldn't get them because they're expensive and my orthodontist told me that if they "worked," he would be using it for everyone of his patients. It depends on how crooked your teeth are and how far off aligned they are..
