    Default Second opinion?

    I recently spoke to my dentist about options for getting my teeth straigtened and after taking casts of my teeth he called me to talk to me about Inman Aligners. I'm excited at the prospect of them however I just wonder if I should get a second opinion from another dentist? It's not so much about the treatment but also the cost. Is this likely to vary much from one provider to another? I also couldn't find my dentist on the list of approved providers on the inman aligners website. Should I be concerned? Thanks

    like most things in life value is not always directly correlated with cost, do your research and then make a decision, if you do not fell comfortable then get a second opinion

    If you are not sure about something then its always worth getting a second opinion. All certified inman aligner dentists should be on the official website however it may be that they have not updated the site. I would address this with your dentist. If you feel perhaps than another type of brace is more suitable for you try to book a consultation with a dentist that offers the Inman ALigner, 6 month smiles, invisalign and perhaps damon braces so that you get a good unbiased view or perhaps seek the opinion of a specialist orthodontist.
