Has anyone used invisalign instead of braces? Pros and Cons?
Answer:
i am wearing them as we speak, i am on my third tray so far, i chose invisalign over metal braces because obviously they are not as obvious and secondly because its a shorter time period of having to wear them ( i have to wear mine for approximately a 13-14 months) most people who wear braces i believe it takes about two years.
Pros-
not obvious that you are wearing them
shorter time period
ur mouth doesnt get sore from the trays (only slightly in the beginning)
you can floss
Cons-
having to remove them before you eat and brushing your teeth before putting them back on
you cant snack as much ( you can if you want but you think about it twice because of the hassle of putting them on and taking them off)
i need to know also
My husband used invisalign and they were fabulous. He took them out to eat. They were not obvious to people who did not know he was wearing them. And they straightened up his teeth very quickly. He had terribly crooked teeth and I think it took just over a year to straighten them out. He now wears them 2 nights a week as a retainer. I'd vote YES!
I couldn't wear them but desperately wanted to because I was embarrassed about braces. You can't tell if someones wears them which is good.
They make you have a lisp but that gets sorted quite quickly (a matter of days) but thats about it
They only work in terms of straightening teeth. If you need your jaw moved forwards or backwards you have to get braces.
