Metal braces worked better and faster for me than Invisalign

WORTH IT
I took this picture today. It's 3 years after invisalign, fast braces and bonding. Did a little at home whitening as well.

I met Dr. Nguyen originally in January to discuss changing from Invisalign (which is also done in his office by Dr. Bruni) to Fast Braces (which Dr. Nguyen performs). Dr. Nguyen examined my teeth, took an x-ray and had an impression done so he could study my teeth before my 2/3 appointment where I would get the Fast Braces placed on my teeth. Dr. Nguyen has a great personality. He is bubbly and funny and had a nice smile. He himself had braces on for I believe 5 years total. I am looking forward to getting my teeth fixed by Dr. Nguyen.

How much did the bonding cost?

Generic Update

My teeth have been doing really well. I have not had any additional problems with the bonding. I did have to get the top permanent retainer re glued on one corner as it came lose. Other than that though it's looking good. It's harder to floss and keep clean but that's worth a straight smile that stays! I probably won't be posting any more posts or pics on this one unless I have an issue or get more bonding done! Write if you have any questions. Thanks!

Final Result after Braces, Bonding and Invisalign

User Avatar

I feel that I would have had faster and better results if I just went with the metal braces from the beginning. I believe I would not have had to go through this process for 3 years if I just started off with braces to begin with. Either way the cost would have been the same or similar but my time would have been saved. I had to get the bonding on my front tooth redone twice as it chipped but I like the results. I also have a permanent retainer now behind my teeth on the top and bottom so they never move again! I have a plastic retainer I wear on all my teeth at night so that my back teeth don't move. See photos for my final results. I'm done everything unless my retainer falls off or my bonding chips again.
