I've got one of those. She's not a dentist, but she thinks she is since she works in the office with me!
Surprised they couldn't do it all at the same time, but some offices work differently...
Sounds like you will have to sell several more POTS so you can pay the big bucks for the ortho.
Pretty much all my patients are adults, and most of them are 70+ years old. Have had a surprising number of them opt for "ortho" to take care of those crooked front teeth. My joke, which has more truth to it than we care to admit, is that a lot of money is wasted on kids ortho as they always lose their retainers or just quit wearing them and several years later they are back close to what they started with. I tell this to my adult patients and say that since they are older and wiser and they are paying with their own money they are much more likely to follow through and keep up with after care.
I got talked into being an overseeing dentist for the now defunct "Smile Direct Club" where patients would come to me to start their Smile Direct aligners and I would be the one to monitor and help with any problems. Smile Direct was a low level orthodontic treatment geared to simple movement of crooked anterior teeth in easy cases. It was originally marketed as a do it at home system, but that got them into some trouble. My recommendation is to find a good orthodontist and ask if Mini-B's case can be done well with Invisalign. Wearing the retainers following treatment is imperative. This also means you will be buying new retainers probably yearly. Great way for the orthodontist to continue to make money after the case is complete!
Sounds like everything else went well. Good job Mini-B
