I went in for an Invisalign consultation, everyone was wonderful and friendly, location was handy for me and it was set out spaciously. This was my 1st Invisalign consult I'd had so I didn't know much about cost yet. They quoted me almost $7000 total for the full treatment - I was told I would have to put $1800 down first for the company to make the first set of trays, wow! I sensibly took the decision to shop around a bit before comitting (even though I was offered a $500 discount if I signed the paper right there on the day) I have since visited 3 other orthodontists and None have been so expensive as here also none have required such a high down payment for the initial trays to be made. I have found a place who are doing the whole treatment for less than 2/3 of the price I was quoted here.
I am writing this so that others in my position are aware and to perhaps question the cost & shop around.
expensive expensive expensive!
