“Not worth it”
Invisalign: NOT worth it
Cost: $5,500
Pain: Mild
Pain: Mild
Invisalign satisfaction: Poor
Total waiste of money and time. I was trying to correct a slight crossing on my upper teeth and crowding on the lower. I was initially told I will need 10 aligners for my upper ones and 25 for the lower, well I just finished the 10th and my teeth don't look much better. What's worse my dentist took impressions for additional aligners and told me to wait 6 weeks but I already feel my teeth are shifting back into the original position (!!)

Has your dentist told you that you need to wear the final aligner after the treatment is done? at least at nights you do if you don't want your teeth shifting back.

Just having Invisalign won't fully correct a smile. Traditional braces are needed after Invisalign to complete the job, which is why I ended up getting metal and clear braces. I describe this on my site: http://www.invisalignresults.com/From-Invisalign-to-Traditional-Braces.html
