Yes you can most likely have Invisalign -
Cost-

And if it is appropriate for you;

It also says it takes about 1 year on average, but you should see an orthodontist so they can assess you and give you all the information you need to make an educated decision.
Another option is ceramic (instead of metal) brackets. When I had them they were similar in cost (if not the same) as the metal brackets. Again, ask an orthodontist..
Also, as a hygienist I notice people's teeth alot, but the other day I had lunch with someone I don't see often and didn't even notice she had them (the invisilign). After I saw her take them out in the bathroom I was surprised and she is very very happy so far.
Hope that helps!

I'm sure a boy can use it but Invisalign looks like it would be very costly and painful (like braces are when they're moving teeth). If the rest of your teeth look fine, you can do what I did and get the gap filled in between your front teeth. I had a dentist who specialised in cosmestic surgery and you can't even tell there was a gap. That cost about $200 and it's permanent unlike braces where the teeth may go back to the way they were, like mine did.

I'm a dental assistant w/16 yrs experience. We do Invisalign in my office, and I actually wear them myself. Here are some of the primary requirements 1) must have your permanent teeth, no baby teeth. 2) you must be cavity free and 3) you cannot have any bridges. Not all people qualify for Invisalign, depending on how difficult the situation is. Invisalign cannot perform certain movements on teeth, therefore sometimes traditional braces are best. Check the website for more information, and to find a doctor near you for a consultation. At my office, they can cost up to $5400

Yes, children can use invisalign too if its only little shifting of the teeth, not the bite.
It will cost $5000 - $7500 in Florida.

YOU FIRST HAVE TO HAVE AN EVALUATION BY AN INVISALIGN CERTIFIED DENTIST, THEN FYI A CASE OF INVISALIGN CAN BE MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
THE SMALL SPACE MAY CLOSE AFTER THE WISDOM TEETH ERUPT. IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO PAY FOR SOMETHING YOU DON'T NEED.
