$5,370Invisalign

dpad108

College Student with Invisalign - San Jose, CA

I have a gap in my front teeth that I have been wanting to get fixed. I started researching ways to fixed the spacing between my front teeth. My regular dentist told me I need to see an orthodontist. I searched on yield to view local orthodontist in my location. I made appointments for 3 different consultations. Initially before going to the consultation I had no idea about the invisalign system. Luckily all 3 orthodontist that I visited offered the invisalign system. For the dentist that I choose the price for invisalign is the same as regular braces. I thought for $5,370 it was a bit high but my orthodontist has a lot of experience. Although I was not really interested in invisalign, my orthodontist recommended invisalign, so choose the invisalign system. I went in get the impression of my teeth done. The orthodontist used a machine to scan all my teeth. The process took about 30 minutes. I waited a month to receive my first set of invisalign. It was virtually painless putting the invisalign on my teeth. For the first couple day it took me forever to remove the invisalign that I thought about calling the orthodontist to switch back to regular braces. I don’t mind having metal in my mouth but I figured it would give me similar problems. Putting the invisalign on was a breeze. I went to play basketball with some of my friends and surprisingly nobody noticed. It feels unusual talking with the invisalign in my mouth, but after a while you get used to it. I am a college and I'm in school about half of my day. The first couple days at school I didn't want to talk because I had the invisalign. I don't think anybody notice at least they didn't say anything. I would not even care if they did. After lunch I needed to find a place to brush my teeth. Luckily when I went to the public restroom there was body there. I quickly brush my teeth and put the invisalign back in my mouth. I walked around campus and found a unisex bathroom in my college department but that bathroom is usually locked. I file a complaint to have the bathroom open. They had it open for a while before beginning to close it. I didn't see anything wrong with the bathroom so I personally told one of the janitor to open the bathroom. It has been open ever since. It is so much more convenient to use the unisex bathroom rather than the gender only bathroom. I will update later with more information
