Does invisalign work?

Does invisalign work? How much is it compared to braces? I need to get my teeth straightened but dint want the pain of braces and the look. :l How old do you have to be I saw online 13 was the youngest. If I put up pics. of my teeth could you tell me if they would work?

Invisalign does work. But it may not work for you. The dentist I work for is not an orthodontist but is certified in Invisalign. He charges the same price for the invisalign at regular braces. Usually the cost is 1000-2000+ more than traditional braces. Invisalign works to straighten the teeth but not fixing the patient's bite. Your teeth will still hurt from being moved, but you will not have the sores in your cheeks that accompany brackets. These sores are usually only present for the first 10 or so days. After that the sores that you get in your cheeks are about the same as what you get right now. (assuming the doctor properly trims the wires) You will need to have all of your adult teeth in your mouth fully erupted to have invisalign. I have seen 9 yr olds with all adult teeth and 15 yr olds with some remaining baby teeth. Traditional braces are kind of an "in" fad right now - More Bling! I am an adult currently in braces, and I chose traditional braces, because Invisalign wouldn't correct what I wanted corrected - my bite. If you are going to take the time and spend the money I suggest you go with traditional braces and get everything fixed.
Reply:My mum uses invisalign and I've only heard good reports about it! I recommend that you get your dentist's opinion first though.
