Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

I’ve been reading the dental section for a few months now, and it seems most people assume Invisalign costs more – maybe double – what traditional braces cost. I’ve just attended a national meeting of Invisalign dentists and none of them charge more. Where does this idea come from? Are orthodontists charging more for Invisalign?
If you think the price is higher, where did you get your information?

I’ve heard it’s Orthodontics and Surgery. I am about to graduate and will be a Registered Dental Assistant. I am trying to figure out how to make the best living while I continue my education.
If anyone can tell me how much they make doing what they’re doing or which field pays more in California, that would be great. Thanks!

I’m getting braces maybe next month and i don’t want anyone too see anything. Would it be better if i got clear or white? My mom says that the real invisible ones that you can take on and off are too expensive. Best answer with more description gets 10 points and best answer.

Specific – the initial care of your teeth prior the getting braces and Is it better to go to a regular dentist first?
