so I went to an orthodontist tonight to see how much invisalign costs.... It ends up being much more than I thought. They do offer financing and 2 years no interest but payments would be about $275-$300 a month....He also told me 'old school' braces would cost the same amount. I'm trying to get out of debt and this basically would keep me stuck at where I am now if I paid what they are asking.
Can anyone share with me what they paid? I know there was a previous post but it might have been a while ago.
Can anyone recommend an Orthodontist preferably in Nassau (or close in Suffolk) that takes a payment plan or offers financing? Thanks in advance! You can FM me too ...

I go to Mid Island Dental in Plainview, on the border of Hicksville to see Dr. Dalall. I finished and am getting my second revision. A revision is once you're done and it's not perfect, they retake molds and get you another bunch of sets. He's a perfectionist and we're allowed 3 revisions. I've been REALLY happy with the results. In the beginning it was a pain, but you get used to it.
He told me old school braces would take around the same amount of time too. They also offer Care Credit financing.
FMing price.

Would you mind FMing the price you paid as well. I also inquired about invisalign and received a quote of 250 a month equalling out to 5500 total. Thanks in advance!

Mine were close to $3,000 but worth it for me :) You can take them off to eat anything and drink anything.

Re: Invisalign.... Help!!!!
I paid $5,500 plus i had to get two replacement trays I think that was about $200 each I lost one. And my dog chewed another one (don't ask long story)
I have to say that I was in a lot of pain. DH had them too and did not have any pain at all. My good friend had them and said that there was no pain for first 6 month and then she was in hell
also, the original treatment did not move all my teeth. I had to go on aditinal 6 month and they are still not perfect.

I have heard from other people they cost about $5000-7000. They do work wonders, but so damn expensive and you have to pay the entire thing out of pocket.

Re: Invisalign.... Help!!!!
My bottom teeth were VERY crooked. They are in much better shape. I am on my 2nd revision and we can have 3 (w no add'l cost).
The only painful time was the first tray..taking them out took some getting used to bc of one of the buttons I had. Once I figured out how to maneuver it, it was better. I've seen drastic results and am extremely happy. I did pay alot, but it was so worth it. I loved the dentist when I met him and got a good vibe. He also showed me some before and afters which helped.

I also looked into invisaligns and my insurance denied me. I asked what it would cost out of pocket and they told me $6,000, which is not an option. I asked them about a retainer that also works to close spaces around the teeth (forgot the name) but it's $350. If what you want to correct is very minor than that might be an option for you. I go this weekend to see if I can get them and can let you know the details.
