Has anyone had invisalign braces? I'm 24 and my teeth have started to push forward causing the front ones to start to push backwards. My dentist suggested traditional braces but I've just read about invasalign that a few local orthodontists can fit.
Has anyone tried them and how much did it cost?
Invisalign tooth alignment... any good?
Invisalign are a course of plastic clear aligners that are change at regular intervals, it is a good system but best used for minimal tooth alignment. If you have a severe case of over crowded teeth invisalign would not be suitable. They are about £4,000 for upper and lower arch, very similar price to traditional braces. There is also the option of lingual braces now, which are brackets on the back side of the teeth and therefore not visible.
Reply:I finished my last set of invisaligns about a year and a half ago. I paid $4,000.00 but that was over 3 years ago so the price may change. I was very impressed with them. I was 25 when I first had them and did not want the "metal mouth" (LOL) at my age and the invasalign was perfect. I would highly recommend them.
Reply:I enquired recently and was told it cost £2000.00 per set, that is £2000.00 for upper and £2000.00 for lower. Unfortunaley the dentist could not use the system because he said I had too many old fillings.
Not many dentists are trained to carry out this work but when it can be used it appears successful but expensive.
