Average Price for Invisalign Impressions?

Question

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

In my practice, in Manhattan, NYC, we charge $500 for the impressions, bite and photos that have to be submitted to Invisalign in order to receive a ClinChek. If the patient decides to go ahead with the Invisalign treatment, then the $500 is applied towards the fee for the case. If patient decides NOT to proceed, then the total cost was only $500.

It all depends on whether the aligners were actual made....If your case was not approved then the doctor owes nothing to Invisalign and should only charge you for his/her time and the impressions...certainly this should be in the hundreds of dollars, not thousands

Most orthodontic treatment will have a set fee based on your complexity and every step has an associated charge with it part of the set fee decided on. Every office has a different payment plan which they would review with the patient. No reputable dentist/ orthodontist would do work for free, but the fee for each step varies differently in every office and is something that is discussed with the patient ahead of time.
