    Invisalign Express Candidate?

    I have a question, back when I was in middle school I had braces, I never wore the retainers and they went back to normal. I was living in Mexico for about a year, I started my treatment again with traditional braces, before moving back to the U.S. I had the top braces removed, the bottom braces where not ready since I only have one tooth that hasn't been fixed. So now I am back in the U.S. and I called my old ortho to make an appointment but before going to the appointment I would like to know if I may be a candidate for Invisalign Express or Invisalign 5. I want to go in to the appointment sure of what I may be eligible for and not let the ortho recommend something I do not need, I included the pictures of my bottom teeth. I would appreciate it if I could get some estimate number of what I can expect to pay, I live in Los Angeles. Thank you!

    I don't know if anyone is going to be able to say definitely YES or NO just from pictures. What I can tell you and I am just a patient, my teeth were slightly worse than this and I was an express patient, at least for now.

    That said, I don't know anything about your jaw alignment, mouth, etc. Just looking at the teeth though and it seems express might be an option.

    But, why if you currently have braces are you looking at prolonging the experience.

    Thanks for replying, since I got my braces in Mexico, all the orthodontist I have called have said that they have to remove my current braces and they would have to put their own kind since they don't want to be held liable for the ones I have on, it makes sense to me so that is why I am considering Invisalign.
