my orthotondist is charging me $2000 for invisalign impressions to measure the teeth because i couldn't go through with the treatment. no aligner was made. we didn't even get to the clincheck part. i read many reviews and $150 to $200 is the maximum people paid for xrays, photos and mold impressions. some offices even do it for free. i need professional opinions and people's experiences so i can confront her. thanks
