“Invisalign is a Fraud - Italy”

Hi Everyone.. if you take care about your money.. don't spend a euro or dollar for this treatment. I spent 4000 euro.. around 5.500 dollars for all the treatment. I was on first time very happy but if you think that you have to bring the last mask.. ALL THE LIFE.. EVERY NIGHT (for avoid that your teeth move) let you think a little bit on that. With the traditional method, probably you go to spend less money but you have a result for the life. Think about that.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. You're our first Invisalign reviewer from Italy. Benvenuto!
Did your dentist explain why you have to keep Invisalign on forever? I'm just curious why your teeth might move back after Invisalign but not traditional braces.
Actually, with metal braces, once you are done with them, you have to wear a retainer for life as well. It is no different. I had braces for 9 years. Never wore a retainer when I was finished with my braces, and my teeth became crooked again. Hence, why I am now doing invisalign. I believe the retainer only has to be worn at night. Not too bad. :)
Hi Misty,
I had metal braces for 8 years and wore a plastic retainer only when I slept for two years after and my teeth are fine, and I don't wear a retainer and haven't for at least 11+ years. I think really it all depends on your personal makeup. I have a feeling if you had Invisalign early on and then did not do it again for multiple years your teeth probably would have moved too, kind of like when a house settles your mouth just settles. :)
Basically, I'm just saying not always do you "have" to wear a retainer for life with metal braces. Like anything just a case to case basis. :)
Thanks,
-Britt
