Case Description
Hi,
I would like to know how much it will cost to get Invisalign Express. I think I am a pretty good candidate for this type of braces. I have minor front teeth disalignment and a few slightly crooked teeth on the bottom. My two front teeth are slightly pushed front, about 3-4 mm off from the rest of the teeth.
Thanks.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Cost Estimate: $3000- 5000+
This is a very difficult question to answer without actually seeing the degree of crowding. In this area, full orthodontics usually averages about $5000. Invisilign is more difficult to move teeth vs. traditional braces and thus, Invisilign may take longer. Traditional braces gives many times over more control and thus will take less time. The biggest contributor to treatment time will be your teeth and your ability to comply. You know we have clear/ white porcelain brackets now. Limited orthodontics limited to just straghtening the front teeth usually averages about $3000 in this area. When making your decision, you need to weigh very carefully if there are any cranial asymmetries present, TMJ disorders ie. headaches, neck pain, back pain, dizziness, ringing in the ears, excessive occlusal forces, and airway issues. Otherwise, your teeth can become as crooked as the day before you ever had orthodontics.

Cost Estimate: $3K-5.5K
We grade cases by difficulty 1) 3K 2) 4.5K 3) 5.5K. We would be happy to know where you stand. Keep in mind, creating room in the front requires moving things in the back and normally all the teeth. Most patients fall in category 2 or 3. We would be happy to do a complimentry consultation.

Dear Patient:Invisalign ''''''''''''''''Express'''''''''''''''' is a bit of deceptive advertisement by the company. The treatment is not necessarily ''''''''''''''''express'''''''''''''''' but rather, less aligners are required due to the simplicity of the case.For cases that qualify for IE, treatment duration is approximately 6 months or less. The cost may vary depending on whether you are seeing an orthodontic specialist, or simply a dentist that has attended certificate training in the product. Typically IE is under 5000.

Hello, To determine whether or not you qualify for Invisalign Express, we would need to determine whether or not you are a candidate for Invisalign, and then whether we can achieve your desired smile with this type of treatment. Because everyone is different and it would be difficult to quote you over the phone, our office would be happy to set you up with a complimentary visit in our office, and at this visit we would be able to determine what all your treatment options are- and you may have several different options available to you. Dr. Tisseront is looking not just at lining up your front teeth, but also how your bite fits together as well as your profile, etc. Please visit our website to learn more about Invisalign, as well as adult treatment in our office! Otherwise, we are in the office starting at 9am Monday morning and can be reached at 703-773-1200. We would be happy to answer any other questions you may have!
