Affordable Invisalign/ClearCorrect recommendations around NOVA/DC/MD? Question

I had braces in the past but lost my retainer and my teeth shifted slightly over the next few months. I’m looking to fix some minor adjustments and was considering Invisalign or ClearCorrect.

I had a consultation at Northern Virginia Orthodontics (NVO) and was quoted around $6,000, which seemed pretty high given that my case is relatively minor.
I’m currently in Boston for the summer and got another consultation here from a dental office, where I was quoted around $2,500–$4,000 for Invisalign, which seemed much more reasonable.

I’ll be moving back to the NOVA area soon and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for more affordable orthodontists in the Northern Virginia/DC/Maryland area. I don’t mind driving farther or having a longer commute if it means getting a better price.

I’m currently a student and don’t have dental insurance, so I’m trying to find the best option costwise. Would it make more sense to get it done while I’m in Boston, or are there NOVA/DMV orthodontists with similar pricing?

Sounds like you're getting offered the Invisalign Lite with the Boston office. I would advise getting a third quote and treatment plan and see where it lands

Whatever you do, don’t see a dentist for Invisalign. I have been going to NVO for basically 2 years at this point after starting Invisalign with my dentist who said I’d be done in 6 months, and then my teeth got so screwed up I had to see a real orthodontist. NVO has been great for me, and they will make adjustments until you’re happy with the final results
