12 weeks, $5k no insurance coverage. I still get compliments on my smile to this day 6+ years after it. Best investment ever.

4400, about a year

It has gotten a lot cheaper. I think it was 1k out of pocket after insurance for 16 months if I remember correctly.

I did Uniform Teeth which is based out of SF. Total cost was like $2500 and took 32 weeks

About 10 mos. of weekly tray changes. It will depend on how much adjustment is needed AND how well you stick to wearing them pretty much 24/7.
It was around $4k with insurance covering half. So happy that I did it and just wish that I had done it sooner.

$6000 - estimated 18 months completion. I have PPO and it’s covering $2000 of my treatment. I have a cross bite so it’s finally fixed around the 8 month mark, and I’ll be going in for rescanning and the second phase in a few weeks

Where are you based OP? Ask for some refs on providers. I’ll go ahead and say if you’re in Bay Area or Chicago, definitely go with Uniform Teeth.

I went through six rounds of interviews including putting together a 30 minute presentation which I presented to the whole team. The whole process took about six weeks. I turned down another lead position at a different company waiting. After all that they told me that hiring for this role was on hold until further notice. At the end of the day it’s business, but I am left feeling like I wasted my time (and theirs.)Totally confused and disheartened by this process. Anyone else experiencing this?
