Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2004Invisalign - How invisible is it?
For those who have used Invisalign, how invisible is it? Do people you talk to everyday realize you have them in, or is it as invisible as the website makes it seem? Also, I've seen some prices on here in the $5000 range. Is that before or after insurance? > For those who have used Invisalign, how invisible is it?

As far as insurance it varies if you have orthodontic coverage not all insurance companies pay for invisalign. If you tell them it is invisalign they might use that as an excuse to deny the claim some may pay out the maximum for orthodontic coverage. Most insurance does not have orthodontic coverage for adults over age 21. The fee varies on the type of treatment diagnosed and from one provider to the next. So the $5000 you speak of could either be before or after insurance depending on the doctor you go to. Invisalign fee varies from $4000 to $7500. >> For those who have used Invisalign, how invisible is it?

Thanks for the information, it's been very helpful. I was skeptical about them truly being invisible, but the reviews so far have been very positive. My bottom teeth are very straight, and it's just my top teeth that I wound need them for. What would the range be for just the top? I'm based in San Francisco, which I'd imagine would be on the upper end of things. > > So the $5000 you speak of could either be before or after insurance > > depending on the doctor you go to.

Couldn't say, myself, but if they really need to wind them up, I think they're comming it to ya just a tad... Just for a laugh SP  SignatureNot a real Addy, yet > For those who have used Invisalign, how invisible is it? During two years of wearing Invisalign full time, exactly one person noticed them without my prompting. On the other hand, more than one person failed to see them even after my prompting.

I think mine may be visible since I even have attachments on front teeth because of the severity. I am paying around $7500, it is really pricy ...... >> > For those who have used Invisalign, how invisible is it? >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >since I even have attachments on front teeth because of the severity. >I am paying around $7500, it is really pricy ......

In Chicago suburb, and mine is severe, I guess this added more to the price. |
