To go to India to have a (much) cheaper version of invisalign done

I know there are lots of dentists here, as much as I'd love invisalign the UK cost is just too high for me (anytime soon). I've got family in India that i haven't seen in a long time. Would it be bad to try to combine the two? Clear path and k-line seem to have good reviews and seem reputable.

How would you manage to get 'buttons' replaced when they come off and also you have to see the dentist every few weeks to get filing etc done? I have invisalign and see my dentist about every 6-8 weeks

I paid £3k for top and bottom in 2010

I needed the initial consultation, moulds, some teeth filed then more moulds (I think) then had to wait for about 6 weeks for the braces to come.

Like a PP mentioned- they're a bugger to get in and out at first and things do go wrong.

The dentist used to give me 6 weeks worth of braces (3 sets each to be born for two weeks) at a time and treatment took about 9 months. I had the fixed retiner in after and they whitened my teeth. Worth every penny.

If you want to do it then do. Just make sure you really research and do check out group on as well as they may have some good deals.

I got mine on 0% finance for 36 months

Maid Thanks. I never thought of having one of each but I think I'm going to have to have a fixed wire on top at least as there's just too much room for them to move but I also have a bit of an overbite, which might be problematic.

Never considered the bj issue either!! Blush Grin
