Do dentists make a lot from Invisalign? Wife and I both were being pushed Invisalign at a new dentist office and I'm pretty sure neither of us need it.

$8000 for Invisalign sounds insane. I spent around $3k in 2017 for Invisalign by an orthodontist, not a dentist, and I'm in a very HCOL area.

80% of what your dentist does for Invisalign is just handing you the trays which are made by Invisalign.
