Metal Mouth Message Board

Get this guys....... My experience upto the ClinCheck left a lot to be desired I wanted out. The dentist tried to charge me £800 ~ $1600 to pull the plug I knew this was a BLATANT rip off since I had earlier been informed (by the lovely receptionist) that it would cost £500 ~ $1000 After having to...

Some more IPR was done too on almost all my upper teeth (.3mm on the front teeth and .5 on the ones before the canines). ....I had quite of it done last visit and I wasn't all that happy about it at first... Hi Algabo, was wondering in total how much IPR did you have. My dentist was planning just u...

Don't wait for him to offer it, request it, they might say it can't be done, if so mention the info from this thread.

Let us know how you get on.

My ClinCheck had me down for 0.4mm 6 times and 0.5mm once.
All for the upper arch and that is for the seven spaces in between the 8 front teeth.
That totals just under 3.0mm.

Does that sound a lot?
Does to me. lol

Thanks for the update.

Invisalign followed by normal braces, seems to be a little too common.
Are you having to pay extra for the brackets.

Hi skintz

Thanks for that info

Out of interest, how old are you?

Exchange rate
£1=C$2
That means mine is
9000 Canadian Dollars

Ps: According to my Clincheck mine is for 34 weeks, I highly doubt it would be this short

If you want it you may have to be aggressive and not accept their response that they can't do it. Excellent advice jeni. Plain old assertiveness just doesn't work when they just don't want to do it..... any excuse....... lol What you will get is .avi video files of the clincheck. As far as I can wo...

UK
£4500 both Arches which I would say is def upper end
Also had a quote for £3750.

diehard thanks for that

though I think what smileys after is the cost if you decide not to go ahead after seeing the clincheck.

I'm in that position myself after having seen my clincheck a few days ago.

Thanks jeni

Length of time is 34 weeks - 8 1/2 months
Number of aligners is 17 not sure whether that is top, bottom or both did not get that in the briefing.

Wondering this as well

After seeing my Clincheck there are a quite a few issues that mean I might not proceed.

Now check this out RIGHT SIDE AT BEGINNING RIGHT SIDE AT END Also this video file showing the process from start to end http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-6950050668333316936 Notice that ...

Thanks guys, :D I love this site. Wanted to have the x-rays handy since I am booking several ortho consultations. The only one that I have been to so far did not take x-rays/moulds he just had a look around and gave me his ideas charged £30/$60. I realised that in this case for example I could have...

Hi

My dentist let me borrow my x-ray,
It is the one showing all the teeth, called panoral I think.

I recall taking x-rays from some other angles showing one side of the mouth maybe.

Would it be better if I get those x-rays as well, or is it not that important.

Thanks
