Invisaligns with Cut-outs for Future Bands?

February 8, 2010
Asked By:GVG in pa

I recently got Invisalign. I was surprised when the trays arrived with multiple buttons and a cutout for the bands. The cutouts are irritating when I speak, the buttons are on teeth are visible, and the cut-out make the Invisaligns totally obvious. I asked that the trays be redone without the cutouts as I will only need bands in the last month. I will receive only 10 trays for correction on top and 9 on the bottom. The ortho said that he only get another 2 corrections without cost, and wants to wait. He also told me that Invisalign suggest where the buttons go and he made changes.I am being charged over $6,000 for treatment. I am concerned. Should I seek another opinion? Shouldn't the ortho take responsibility for his decision? Am I being overcharged?
