Answer 1

Affordable Orthodontists do not exist. It is against their secret code. Just paid 4100 for my daughters braces.

Answer 2

If you go through a regulat dentist, sometimes they will have an orthodontist they have worked with in the past and can suggest. Invisalign only works for minor dental corrections and for many people who have misaligning molars, invisalign will not be practical. Furthermore, it is more expensive, and traditional braces (although they take longer) are cheaper, and more effective at solving alignment issues. You can get clear plastic braces, rather than invisalign, and there is no cost difference. They do payments, so it works out to $100 a month for x months, or however, depending on your credit and income. My braces were ordinary braces, they took 4 years, and they cost $3,000. Per month it was very reasonable. She could even get a part time job and pay for half of it herself.

Answer 3

Call the city or county health department. You should be able to find basic dental care that way. You may not be able to get orthodontic work, however, if what you want or need is considered cosmetic treatments.

Another option is to check with a local college that has a dental program. Sometimes you can get dental treatment done at a greatly reduced price by having it done by dental students. They should be supervised by qualified dental instructors, of course, but I'd doublecheck that to be sure any way.
