Has anyone used it? What do you think?
I had braces for yrs, wore the head gear, retainers and all that. Now at 23 my teeth are shifting again and I have to see an orthodontist-I refuse to get braces , and I've heard about this. Any other options?
Thanks! :D

Our daughter had a large gap between her two front teeth and a large overbite. She really did not want the metal braces so at age 17 she got the invisalign. The orthodontist said that she would probably have to wear them for 18 months - 24 months. She loved them and her teeth were straight within 12 months. She now wears a retainer when she sleeps. You could barely tell she was wearing the invisalign. She is thrilled with her teeth.

Unfortunately invisalign was a little more expensive than the regular braces. They ran about $4000 which was about $800 more than the metal ones. We had to set it up on a payment plan.
