My Invisalign were around $6500, but I needed 26 total aligners, so quite a bit. Plus they are more expensive than regular braces anyways.
But yes dental work is sooo expensive. I think my root canal was over $1000 if I remember correctly. And now I am needing ANOTHER one soon. Now Jackson freakin' needs expensive dental work. Don't even know where I'm going to get the $$$ *sigh* My dental insurance sucks too -- it hardly covers anything.
I am in collections with the dentist where I have my Invisalign so I have not been able to finish them. Well, I'm not, but my mom is. lol. Got them when I was 16... so she was in control of all the payments. Now I am 21 and only have two aligners to go, sooo close to being done, but haven't completed yet due to cost.
Oh I also have some TMJ issues, I think. My jaw cracks very easily and often, but no pain YET. My bite is definitely not aligned properly. So I know I'll need some help with that in the future. |
