Invisaline/fixed appliance hybrid

#1 Post by julianna8 »

I've now been to 3 consultations and had 3 vastly different opinions.

1st ortho: ceramic braces 4.5K
2nd ortho: invisaline on top, fixed appliance on bottom 6K
3rd ortho: tooth extraction (2 teeth- ouch) and then iBraces 7.5K

Each program would take ~24 months and my wedding may be within that time frame (he's been dropping hints). I really like option #2 for this reason... But how could one doc think he can fix my teeth with plastic aligners when the other 2 don't think I'm a candidate!? I don't want to waste my money! Any thoughts?
