Invisalign: Stories

Wow, I really hope things turn out ok for you. There is a lot more to be taken into account besides the appearance of the clinical crown when straightening teeth, so even if they look straight, it doesn't mean everything is good. The proximity of the roots in relation to each other is very important, plus many, many other factors.

This sounds like an extremely risky way to save some money. There are numerous things an orthodontist watches for during treatment, including root resorption, gum/tissue health, etc. Unfortunately they aren't simply dispensing trays. They are doctors, and you are paying to have your health watched over. 

I'm also curious how this lab is legal, as it is essentially practicing dentistry without a license.

I thought it would be better to get the thoughts of some dentists on this, rather than just my own take, so I submitted this Q&A:

There Are Websites Where a Person Can Take Their Own Impressions and Order Invisalign Themselves. Is This Ok?

I hope the info they provided is helpful to you.

I would definitely NOT recommend getting your invisalign off the internet without a dentist or orthodontist to oversee your treatment. There are many important factors to consider before even starting Invisalign, and without a proper case diagnosis you could end up with a really bad outcome, not to mention many other complications during treatment. Orthodontia is not a DIY procedure.
