Is Invisalign Right for Me? (photo)

I am 16 going on 17 very soon. I really, really do not want metal braces. My teeth are not that bad, however I've become really self-conscious over them lately and I think straightening my teeth would make me feel more confident. And how much is invisalign, usually (or for a case like mine if it's possible to guess)? My family has dental insurance and I'm pretty sure it covers 50% for orthodontics, which includes invisalign right?

Without getting any further specifics, I would be hesitant to offer any recommendations, and I would highly recommend you to seek orthodontic evaluations in your area. It is not uncommon to get second or third opinions from... more
