I have some teeth that arent Straight how much do invisalign braces cost

Q. I have some teeth that arent straight but as i am an adult am reluctant to wear braces. Ive heard of invisalign and braces that go on the back of your teeth, whats best, how much will it cost and are there any practioceners in my area? many thanks

A. Dear A,

Invisalign braces are not fixed to your teeth. Moulds of your teeth are taken and the clear plastic removable brace is fabricated. This is then changed every few weeks as your teeth move. Length of treatment depends on how crowded your teeth are. Invisalign is not suitable for everyone. The other type of braces are lingual braces. These are fixed brackets that go on the backs of your teeth.
Unfortunately I cannot give you costs or treatment lengths as I have not seen your teeth. You will be looking in the region of £2000 to £3000.
The alternative to braces is of course veneers but this requires your teeth to be shaved down slightly and depending on the crowding can involve between 4 and 10 teeth, sometimes more. My advice would be to have a consultation with an orthodontist and with a dentist who places veneers, someone with experience so that you can make a decision knowing all the options
Kind Regards
Dr Komal Suri
