ClearView Orthodontics
Invisalign - Vancouver BC - ClearView Orthodontics
(Premier Preferred Provider)
2nd consultation, was a total opposite of what the first place told me!
The person said my procedure for invisaligns would be very basic and not complicated at all. The recommended work was quite different.. not sure who's trolling me.
Procedure cost will be $6850
Step 1 (about 12 months, may need a few extra tray's after if I'm not satisfied with the results)
- I go straight to invisaligns, use about 24 trays through out the whole thing.. After the treatment I will get veneers for 2 of my teeth from my regular dentist.
- Main difference, this orthodontist said my teeth weren't that bad overall..
- Pointed out: my front teeth is about 1/2mm in front of my bottom (ideal would be 1mm)
- Did not comment/suggest anything to do with pushing my side teeth out more to create an over bite.. instead she said they were well aligned, the teeth fit nicely together on my left side but my right is a touch off (aka we will leave them as be)
- Didn't mention the need of elastics or anything but said I was a good candidate for Invisaligns because my teeth weren't complicated
Pro's
- Instead of having a assistant explain and go through everything. This orthodontist actually did it herself! (made me feel more confident about what she was saying and she wasn't just sprouting shit outa her mouth)
- Examination & Explanation felt very thorough, she did the quick examination with getting her assistant to write down notes. After she went through everything slowly explaining what she can see & what she recommended
- Friendly & Professional
- Procedure is quite a bit shorter, seems to be in line of what I actually want to do (I prefer not pushing/expanding my upper jaw/teeth..)
- Location is great, outside of downtown and not to far away
- Overall experience in the office was great; the reception area was comfortable, spacious, had a old school pac man machine, free keureg coffee, tv, and usual amenities. One thing I couldn't help but notice was every client was Caucasian.. I felt oddly reassured that this was a good place because of that.. Lets be honest now.. caucasians have legit teeth and the overall clientele seemed wealthier.
Con's
- Price is a bit more expensive (even though the other place seems to need to do more?!)
- Financing: $2000 downpayment, the rest roughly breaks down to 350ish a month into its fully paid off
- Traditional putty mouth action, so no fancy impression less scanning..
One more appointment to go! Depending on how that goes, I may try to ask this last place to lower/match the price of the first place.
(I'm leaning towards this place but the price is a bit eh.. for me)
