I remember the day I got my braces off... Rubbing my tongue over my teeth was better than sex.

Big no from someone who has the invisible retainers. They get discolored quite easily and arent comfortable at all. You will suck at talking and you have to remove them anytime if want to eat anything. God I hate them.

I would go with conventional braces, but make sure you get a good orthodontist to install them...
My teeth were never in bad shape though I had a pretty serious overbite. I only had to wear braces for 11 months because I told the orthodontist to really crank my braces down when he adjusted them. I ate a diet of yogurt and melted ice cream there for a while, but it was worth it.

I am wanting to get my teeth straightened. Was thinking of trying the invisalign because you won't need to have the dentist adjusting wires in your mouth. OUCH! Hurts just thinking about it.
So sound offf about your braces experiences and help this Braces noob shed his noobie beanie.

GF using it right now, kinda expensive at $4000 but she said it's worth it.
I inquired at my dentist and he said $5100... $2500 is covered by my dental insurance. It's worth it if you need it. I think conventional ugly-braces were $1500... at least back in the early 90s they were.Originally posted by: gutharius
Well I am going to check into the prices for the invisalign braces. Who knows maybe they can do them on payment plans.

Get regular braces. They cost less and probably take less time. You'll be glad you did in the end. I was. Now my smile looks like this instead of .

The worst part for me was when they put the spacers in for my molars. Molars were really sore for two days. Braces weren't that bad (although it was a long time ago, maybe they were).
Are invisiline's 100% effective? I got braces in middle school when everyone had them, so the appearance wasn't an issue. I don't know--rather do them so I'd be sure they'd work.

i have a question in regards to insurance. is invisallign covered by dental insurance? i know that a dentist doesn't do it and that an orthodontist does it, as i had braces before. but like many others in this thread said, my bottom teeth have moved a little and i would not mind using invisallign to straighten them back out, especially if it can take only about 6 months to do so. and i just got dental insurance here at work so please, someone let me know, thanks!

Anyone else have an opinion?
I just saw the brochure at my dentist place and was thinking of making an appointment with a ortho to see what my options are and ofcourse the price.
