“Invisalign to Correct Crowding and Turning Teeth in Front”
Worth It
Spent: $5,000 in Burbank, CA
I just started - first week - and did it to correct crowding/turning teeth in front. Very little discomfort so far but too early to tell.
Other than water, is there anything you can eat/drink while wearing the aligners - such as sugar free clear soda or a glass of white wine?Updated on 29 Jul 2011:
Last fall (2010), I started wearing a retainer at night and am now using it every other night. The goal is to use it just once a week or so eventually. I'm generally pleased with the results although I thought my teeth would be a bit straighter. I do recommend the procedure though - pretty painless though expensive.

My Doctor: Name not provided
My rating:
The doctor is a specialist and trained in Invisalign. Recommended by my regular dentist.
As an update - the dentist I used is used to much younger patients and his staff is all young. They didn't seem that comfortable with an older adult. I felt rushed and even when the dentist answered my questions, I felt like he was trying to escape too quickly. They were supposed to call me to schedule a follow up appointment but never did.

Thanks for the update!
Glad to hear things are going well with your retainers and that you will eventually get to decrease the amount of time you wear them.
