In short: had braces from 4th-6th grade; teeth were fine up until 10th grade when they began to shift (mostly my two front teeth); I've gone to two orthodontists. The 1st recommended something called Simpli5 (never heard of it) and the second did an analysis and said that I have a 33% overbite and my front tooth (left side) is shifted 3mm outwards? What's the estimated cost for this if I were to do InvisalignExpress? I know answers will vary by location, so if it helps, I live in Dallas, TX. Responses are very much appreciated!
