The Cost

I know you're wondering what in the world all this costs. So here we go, full disclosure. At my orthodontist, traditional braces treatment (from the beginning molds to getting the permanent retainer) costs just over $5300. This was right in line with what we paid for my 13 year old's braces at another office. Invisalign is $5418. The Acceledent costs an additional $800. To me 800 bucks to shave off an entire year was a deal, but I still can't help but think that as simple as it looks, the device shouldn't cost more than 100 bucks. But I guess they were selling for double what I paid just a few years ago. So for me the grand total came to $6218. I have no insurance that will cover this, so I'm paying it all out of pocket. They will take $250 off the bill if you pay in full up front, or they will finance it in-house with zero interest for a reasonable amount of time. We ended up setting it up so that I pay $1018 down, and $200 per month for 26 months.
