Not Worth It
I did have braces before for a short while on my uppers years ago and regretted not getting the lowers done too. I moved so I had to find another provider. I went to one in Cary, NC. The braces had worked wonders, but the invisilign not at all. And they did cost more too. There was very little...

They said it will be worth it - I sure hope so
It's a good thing I'm retired now. I would not have been able to do this while working because I had to talk on the radio. I was an air traffic controller. This aligner definitely affects your speech. There are certain words that cannot be pronounced correctly. These bumps they put on your...

My dental story: I've had braces before but I had to have them taken out after 10 months because I needed gum surgery, when I was 15. My bottom teeth never got straightened out and my top were perfectly straight but I stopped wearing the retainers so my teeth shifted. Phase 1: After my...

Invisilign Attachments Are Awful
Well the attachments that the doctor put on are awful. Not only are they stupid looking but they hurt my lips and snag my skin. Not only are they awful with the aligners on but when I take them up to eat it's like having pieces of sharp glass shards scratching my upper lip. I'm so pissed!!! I...
Failed Invisalign, now switching to traditional metal braces
So I was originally skeptical as to if I wanted to document my journey or not but I realized how much it can help others interested in Invisalign AND help keep me optimistic. I was always told "you don't need braces" or "your teeth are straight enough" but bottom line, I've wanted them my entire...
Invisalign Failure, Moving on to Damon Braces
After going my whole life with severely crooked teeth, I have reached a point in my life where it's time to take charge of my life and make myself happy. I am ready to be able to smile in photographs and hopefully by my son's high school graduation in May 2016 my outside will finally reflect my...
Mild crowding in front teeth, correction attempted through Invisalign.
Horrible decision. Invisalign has destroyed my bite and two molars are in danger of dying. Please do not get it. You run the risk of acquiring a posterior open bite. My whole life has revolved around this treatment. My molars hurt so much I'm forced to have all my calories in two meals a day....
