After 8 Months, my Teeth Are Nearly Perfect

By the way, I am *not* an employee of any dentist or tooth care company. I'm a generally skeptical retired person who is very good at complaining when she doesn't get good service. And I still think Invisalign is far superior to conventional braces.

They're not very noticeable. And you can pop them out during a photo shoot. You'll still have the little anchor "buds" glued to a few of your teeth, but ... I didn't find those all that noticeable, and neither did any of my friends. They're tooth-colored. And even if the "buds" show up in your modeling photos, you know the guys can just PhotoShop them out. They are *so* much better than braces. I can't even tell you ... But you may find yourself with a little lisp while they're in, and you'll need to keep the teeth and the trays very very clean.

heh heh. I suspect that most of you who describe the Invisalign buttons as 'terrible' and 'irritating' never had to deal with old-fashioned braces. (I'd had conventional braces as a teen, but 40 years later, my bottom teeth were terribly misaligned again.) I got headaches and mouth ulcers and less-than-charming breath under both systems, but all the pain and annoyance and embarrassment was far far far worse with conventional braces than with the Invisaligns.
