Invisalign braces...does anyone know about these or had them? are they worth it?

Question:

my dentist recommended them today..its $4,500 and he said i'd wear them for about 9 months instead of regular braces which would be 3 years..should I do it? its only the front top of my teeth and bottom teeth that need it.

thanks

Answers:
There is no real pain from wearing Invisalign. I've seen hundreds of patients with fantastic results. In the hands of a skilled provider, they can make a huge difference in how your teeth are aligned. You should end up with a great new smile!

Food is not a problem and you will be given instructions on keeping them clean. $4500 seems like a reasonable fee and you would probably pay more for regular braces.

The decision is ultimately up to you and your dental professional, but as a person who has worked with many patients over a period of three years, I see nothing but satisfied people.

I wouldn't because if something were to break you would be back to square one -4500. Also if they are clear like I think your saing food gets stuck on them really easily. Lastly, if you choose to get them get ready for pain and at least 5 trips to the store for asprin.

OMG, its the best thing in the world! I get a new set every 2 weeks, got into the orthodontist so he can check my teeth every month and just gives me 2 more pairs. Its only for 50 weeks! The first day or so u feel some pressure but thats it. Ppl tell me braces kil! Braces, if u have sensitive teeth, like me, can cause permanent marks on ur teeth, invisalign doesnt. Braces u cant eat what ever u want, invisalign u just pop on and off. Braces hurt to get tightened, not invisalign. Everyone with braces always say the wires scratch them and they bleed, not invisalign. Invisalign u cant see, noone knows i have them till i tell them. Someoen told me they were invisable to others but i didnt believ it until i got it. Braces look ugly these dont. My guy told me that braces could take at least 2 yrs. Invisalign 50 weeks,and not lookign ugly! Also I have TMJ with means i guess i grind my teeth and my jaw snaps when i open mouth, and invisalign helps that problem, braces dont. If not for invisalign i would need a night gaurd which costs $500, and if i get braces my teeth shift so i would need at least 2 or 3 and invisalign is only a grand more (i think it was 5,000 as opposed to $4000 with barces). Wow, i should like make a commercial for them or something!
