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.

Based on your photo, I would caution against appliances to expand your upper and lower arches (jaws). Doing so can change the way your mouth feels significantly. You may speak differently (e.g., with a lisp or slur). I would definitely consider veneers. They are fast and...
Based on your photo, I would not worry much at this point. If by chance, the tooth doesn't "jump" before tray 16 (the final tray), then you will likely need refinement trays. I think that it's likely that your tooth will "jump" before aligner #16, but not guaranteed. I would...
It would be better to have a picture, but based on the history you described, it sounds like your teeth are straight now, but your lip protrudes more than before you started braces. It's likely that your teeth were crowded prior to braces and as your dentist spread them out more to make...
