Cost of Work Required to Correct Teeth After Invisalign
Melissalee19June 14, 2016
My new orthodontist informed me that it would cost an additional $4000 to fix my gum line with clear braces and $5200 to fix it with lingual braces. The estimated ADDITIONAL treatment time is 9-12 month. I was was quoted a 5 month treatment program with Invisalign and told by Howard Spector that Invisalign would fix the gum line.
I was very disappinted to learn that my cost for metal braces would have been exactly the same if I had NOT done Invisalign at all. So basically my time and money spent on Invisalign was a complete wate in terms of getting the results I wanted.
Lingual braces would have produced superior results and been less visible than my Invisalign trays were with so many attachments.

Any new updates?

First, sorry about your bad experience with your first orthodontist. Not a good personal fit. Kudos for switching, not many patients have the wherewithal to advocate for themselves to that degree.
That said, be careful trying to improve your result orthodonticly, your initial treatment plan turned out really well. It is possible to make your case much worse!
Find a good cosmetic dentist with lots of experience with a laser. Some simple gingival laser surgery on selected coupled with some cosmetic reshaping of some teeth and bonding to even the edges and fill in notches created by wear on others will go a long way to improving your smile. Probably all done for under $2000.

Thank you! Fingers crossed that the gum lift helps. I am having the impressions for the gum lift done this weekend and hopefully, the actual procedure can be done within a week or so.
Good luck wth your next appointment! I look forward to hearing an update.
