It is my understanding with ibraces that most cases that can be fixed using traditional braces (on front of teeth), can be done with ibraces as well. The problem can be finding an ortho that is skilled in working with ibraces. They are more expensive due to the fact that they are custom made to the individual, and they are more difficult and time consuming for the ortho. The cost for mine in FL is around 7500. I was happy to find out that even though my dental insurance does not cover adult orthodontia, I was able to get a 25% discount with it. So my out of pocket if closer to $5000. If you have dental insurance that doesn't cover orthodontia, it is worth asking if they offer a discount. I will be getting my ibraces on in a few weeks for crowding, and some misalignment. If you go to the ibraces website
www.hiddenbraces.com, you can search for an ortho in your area that does them. I lucked out that the ortho my dentist refered me to (I originally went for an invisalign consult, but wasn't a candidate) does them, but when I researched I found he was the only one anywhere near the area who does. If you find one in your area, go for a consult (mine was free, including x-rays), and see what they have to say. I'll have to wear mine for 20-24 months. Every case is different though. Good luck!
