Invisalign - Not Worth the Money

  • Not Worth It
  • Cost: $2,500

40 year old who has had a gap in front two teeth...

40 year old who has had a gap in front two teeth all my life. As teenager had crowns put on to close the gap, but as adult pulled a back molar which left a hole and the gap returned. Had a bridge put in the back molar hole to 'fill' the place the molar had been removed from and then got Invisalign. Worked very well. Gap closed in 6 months, problem is within a week of finishing treatment and not wearing the trays any longer, the gap returned. Have to wear a retainer every night and as someone else mentioned, throughout the day the gap widens and at night the retainer must be forced back into place. Its a never ending cycle. Not worth the money and I feel has been a failure!

Great review?

Have you considered putting in the permanent retainer (wire) behind your teeth? That's what I plan on doing.
