- 1 Sep 2011
I am 35 years old. I always wanted to have Braces but lacked the courage to make the commitment. Like most people my age you think after a certain age "Whats the point?" Although I am only 2 months into this experience I can already see and feel my teeth moving. I was very uncomfortable at the beginning but now I smile big and wide knowing that in a little more than a year from today I will have a wonderfully straight smile. I decided to go with braces because I knew I could never keep the Invisalign trays on for over 20 hours a day consistently. Although I miss some of my favorite foods such as popcorn and chewing gum, I know it will all be worth it at the end.
Great review?

Hi everyone,
This will be my second attempt to do a review on Six Month Smiles! I typed...
At the moment I don't have dental insurance, but I'm still exploring the options available to me. One doctor in Seattle offers a "Six Month Smile" program that is based off of traditional braces, but they are near invisible with the way they do the brackets and color of the wire.
I'm naturally curious about Invisalign, and, knowing myself, I'm pretty sure I could do well with the trays. Alas, without dental insurance, I think it's going to come down to brass tax.
Know you're not alone, and I appreciate you sharing your story.
Cheers!
Lauren
Lauren, there was a question posted in the Q&A section that asked "Is 6 Month Smile a good alternative to Invisalign?" Click here if you would like to read the answers the dentists posted.
Very smart of you to choose traditional braces if you knew you couldn't commit to keeping the Invisalign in!
Did you find that the braces cut up your cheeks & lips pretty bad when you first got them on, or was adjusting to them not too bad?
