Invisalign?

For invisalign would i be a good applicant for it.


Can it correct my overbite plus my two front teeth is crooked and my dentist said invisalign will change colors and will take longer is this true?


I reallly want invisalign but because the dentist said it will change color he does not supply it only regular braces.


Should i go with metal braces or just go to another orthrodontist to get invisalign?


P.S the dentist/orthrodontist said i would have to wear metalbraces 4 years how long will invisalign take(estimate?)


Thankyou in advance

Invisalign?
I am currently using Invisalign and they are easy. And yes, they will correct overbite and crooked front teeth as that is what I have.





The dentist has said nothing about my teeth changing colour! Maybe this happens if you don't brush your teeth before you put the brace back in. You have to be really vigilant about brushing teeth after you have eaten as if they are not clean they will sit in the sugars in your mouth in the aligners and this can eat at the enamel. Also you can only drink water when the aligners are in.





Invisalign also only takes an average of 1 to 2 years and I have been really lucky as I only need 16 aligners and will be finished in just over 7 months. Hoorah!





One down side is that they have to put a couple of little white blobs on a few side teeth, these are like anchors to help the teeth to move correctly. They aren't noticeable but they do rub on your cheeks and tongue when you're eating.





Only other down side is they are not cheap, but I don't think metal braces are either. Mine are costing £4000. Gasp!





Most people I have talked to haven't even noticed that I have them on until I point them out too, which is great.





Good luck and if I were you I'd get a second opinion.

Reply:.. Invisalign will probobaly be half the time of braces. And yes, it will correct your overbite %26amp; shift your teeth over straight. (If your teeth were too bad, they wouldn't of have given you the option to get invisalign).





Good luck. :)
