I think listing them as most 'experienced' although may be true but is a bit misleading as I have heard of many dentists and orthodontist pushing invisalign onto patients who it may not be auitable for simply so they can sell more to make more money and become a platinum seller, subsequently these patients have had poor results. It seems like this level is might be more of a marketing/sales thing so I am wary of the so called high level gold/platinum providers putting profit above patient care.

The way I went about finding my guy was to look through the Invisalign website. They rank providers by experience. I went through and made a shortlist of all the most experienced orthodontists (not dentists- I only wanted a specialist working on my teeth) and went to see them all for quotes. I think this is the best way to find a good one. I wish you luck with it, I know how hard it is to pay it off, especially when you have children to pay for too! Good Luck! Hi there,
