My teeth aren't bad, I have a few that are a bit crooked or came in slightly twisted because there wasn't much room. Everyone says my teeth look fine, but they being twisted is a bit annoying and it bothers me. Do you think Invisalign would work okay for me? If you've had them before, I'd love a response.
Do Invisalign braces work well?
If your case is SUITABLE for Invisalign, it works wonderfully well - as long as you do your part and wear them (almost) 24/7. Any dentist doing Invisalign has to be certified to use them and should be capable of making the diagnosis of whether or not to use them. If Invisalign was suggested to you, then it should work for your case.
I would not say that Invisalign is better or worse than braces, because it depends on the case. There is no set answer. After a few minutes of wearing them, your speech will sound just fine. They are very thin and pretty much exactly the same shape as your teeth. They do tend to increase the amount of saliva in your mouth at first, but you soon get used to that and the salivary flow seems to slow back to normal after a while, also.
In my rural Mid-Atlantic general practice, I charge $3,000 for most Invisalign cases, which is less than traditional braces in most cases. I have heard that some charge more for Invisalign than they do for braces, though. The thing is, I am not a specialist and I choose to do only "easy" cases that will not require extra devices to be used in conjunction with Invisalign. This can add to the fee significantly.
Reply:Sure! I think you are a perfect candidate for invisilign, since your teeth aren't that "crooked" it will work well, it will be easier for you to get use to and the results are awesome, I assisted different patients with them and they loved it. You should consult your dentist or orthodontist to make sure you are eligible for it. and Good Luck!!
Reply:Sure- they are more expensive.
I still have "real" braces on the back of the teeth after 25 years.
Reply:Well if it's not particularly bad, you might not even need braces. There are much easier fixes that people don't realise, I remember I had a separation in my teeth as a child, between my two front teeth, so my mother had me wrap a small rubber band around it and the next morning it was gone.
Reply:Invisalign are more expensive then regular braces. Ask an orthodontist if they are right for you.
Reply:Yes, it works very well. You will like the results at the end of the treatment.
