How Much Do Palate Expanders Cost and How Long Does a 20-year Old Have to Wear It For?

July 18, 2012
Asked By:HotChocolate

I bought a groupon for elite-provider invisalign treatment in Chicago. The ortho checked out my teeth and said I'm a candidate, but he said the treatment would take longer than 12 months. He suggested a palate expander first, as I'm only 20 and still young enough for it. I've waited 10 years for braces and am disappointed I have to wait longer, and spend more. How long will I have to wear a palate expander and how much will it cost? I just need an idea at least.
