Elation and Anxiety About Invisalign - Dickinson, TX

I wanted to say I love Dr. George Johnson. He really tried to straighten my teeth but in the end of Invisalign it seemed like all the refinements in the world would not move certain teeth. Read my review "Ceramic Braces to finish the job Invisalign didn't" Thank you for all of your comments. I hope it helped.

10/12 was my final result of my Invisalign Braces. Although my teeth look great in photos, in person you could still see an over-jet of my front teeth. The main reason that I got invisalign was to get rid of the problem of my front teeth overlapping the two side teeth. I guess you could blame it on the bell shape of my teeth, but then we shaved them on each side and they remained still overlapping. And the bottom lower ones weren't perfectly straight as I will show you in photos. I had refined 3-4 sets. 1-1/2 yrs had gone by at at this point I was ready to give up on Invisalign and not waste any more time. I asked my dentist to remove the aligners and I did not want the final aligner trays because I had it set in my mind to go get real braces from a real licensed Orthodontist. I paid all of the $6,500 from my pocket in full and at that time did not have dental insurance, so no dental insurance covered this. For some patients this outcome would be okay. For me, it was not. I think for $6,500 my teeth should truly be aligned. So I googled many Orthodontist, and watch out because most dentist advertise Orthodontics but when you ask them upfront, are you licensed as an Orthodontist they say "Well no, but we do Orthodontics..." I hung up and preceded to asked everyone of the Orthodontic Offices about their credentials. I had heard really really good things about Space Center Orthodontics, in Clear Lake. Of course there are a few disgruntled reviews but for the most part good ones. I also knew some patients. I had heard it was mainly for children, and I am not a big fan of children, so this was going to be an adventure. I will write a review with total honesty about them, but end this Invisalign Braces review with the last photos taken. In my opinion Invisalign did move my teeth, but had a lot of difficulty moving the front ones.

The new Waterpic Ultra Flosser is the best thing I ever bought. It's like a shower massage for the teeth. Every time the water runs out, I am like "Wait...I am not done yet!" I did not get this until after Invisalign and got it when I got Ceramic Braces. You never have to floss again the old way if you use the new Waterpic Flosser.
