I am getting my teeth bonded after my invisalign treatment. Do I have to pay for the procedure or is it included in my plan?

Question

Unless you and your dentist have worked out something different, dental bonding is usually not included with your Invisalign costs.  Every dentist is different, so it really depends on your specific case.  In my office, dental bonding is billed separate because it is way more labor intensive than adjusting Invisalign trays.  It really depends how much bonding you need and how long it takes the cosmetic dentist that is doing it.  In my photo section in my Real Self profile, I posted a photo of dental bonding on anterior teeth.  That particular case took me more than an hour to apply bonding to 6 teeth.  If you are talking about just one tooth and it is minor, then the price may be very cheap.  I hope this helps.

Any bonding procedures to "fine tune" the esthetics after Invisalign is usually NOT included in the Invisalign fee unless the dentist specifically told you exactly what would be included.

This question is not a great question my friend.  Why?Well, I bought a pizza and was wondering if you can tell me if the pepperoni, hot sausage and mushrooms are going to come with the pizza I ordered?  How would you possibly know that, you're probably thinking?  You don't !!!What you agreed with your doctor is between you and your doctor.  No one here can answer this for you.  Happy new year.
