“Wish I Could Have the Money Back...very Disappointed with the Experience”

I am at the end of my regular invisalign treatment and about to start the retainers. I wish I hadn't done it. Alot of my dissatifaction came from the fact that my dentist did a really poor job of paiting an accurate picture of the process. I simply didn't dislike my teeth enough to go through this. He didn't tell me that I would have to come in for visits every month, every time I go in I get a different story from someone. After I was almost done the tech told me it doesn't fully work in most cases and that most people need additional trays. They also didn't tell me I would need to wear the retainers for 3 months which is almost as long as I had to wear the trays. I ended up with gaps in my lower teeth because they didn't fit right and now I am very self consious when I smile where I wasn't before. They also told me the wrong price and then when I got in it was more. My advice is ask your dentist for references. Talk to other patients. I could have done a lot with that $4,500. This was a complete waste of money. :(
