How to get invisalign
It made me
Blah
 "Sorry, I'm going with standard appliance, unfortunately."
How I did it: I would have liked to have done Invisalign, but I need a slight overbit correction that just can't be done any other way but standard appliances. My sister has invisalign and she loves them. They seem to do really really well with simple adjustments. There are movements, however, that they just cannot accomodate.
Lessons & tips: See a lot of Orthodontists before making your decision. Financially, visually, and health wise each place has thier own opinion. Resources: Just see as many orthos/dentists as you can. |

I got my cavities filled, so it’s just a matter of getting started now. All the money seems overwhelming.
Invisalign Rocks!

I used Invisalign from August 2007 through October 2007 (2.5 months total). My goal was to close a few small gaps in the front of my teeth before my wedding. I wanted a “perfect” photo ready smile for my special day. I used 5 trays total. The costs were: a $500 deposit, and then a balance of $2800 dollars, I think. Altogether, my initial analysis and trays cost a little more than $3000 dollars. It was TOTALLY worth it! Very little pain (just a little pain pinch from closing the gaps that lasts for a second) once you graduate “up” to a new tray every 2 weeks. When I was finished my dentist (who is board certified and a professor at Columbia University’s School of Dentistry) made me a retainer for $75 dollars to keep my perfect teeth straight. I did have to get 2 teeth bonded (very slightly) to close 2 very small side gaps that were not adjusted by Invisalign. If you have the opportunity to do this, and have minor corrections to make, this is DEFINITELY for you! I love to smile…and my husband is amazed at how pretty my “new” teeth are!

I just talked to an ortho and got rates on wire, porcelain, and invisalign. Truthfully, I can’t see myself cutting up all foods and not eating all the sticky crunchy chewy things I love. Is it would be irresponsible to spend all that extra money. I don’t even know if I can really afford it.
