Yes I definitely hoping weight loss is a side effect I get!
Also not having to go to orthodontist very often would suit you with work, I say go for it! Mine says that finance clears around 1st Jan so they will then order the invisalign trays which will take 2-3 wks, I'll be starting in January then! Not looking forward to the extractions in Feb or wearing them in Florida when I'll want to eat and snack all day but I'm sure it will be worth it! Xx |

I had the normal train track braces at the age of about 42. I wish I had done the Invisalign ones. I have them on for about 5 years and ended up with my gums receding quite bad and in the end lost a tooth and now have a false one!
A friend has had the Invisalign and in a very short time her teeth have really moved and look amazing. |

I had metal train tracks fitted in October. I’m glad they were fitted as they were so sore the first couple of days I’d have definitely taken them out if I could, which I know defeats the purpose. I’ve gone through total orthodontists who do Invisalign and the ceramic braces but I went for the metal ones as they were cheaper but mainly because I was told they’d move my teeth faster. I’ve paid £1750 for top and bottom. My biggest concern was that I had a tooth sticking forward on the bottom. Ten days after the first tightening and this tooth has moved back, so I’m really pleased with that. They’re still going to be on for a few more months so I can’t wait to see how they look at the end of it.

Sorry I missed this reply gornetgirl. In glad you're happy with your results and I'm glad lisping wasn't an issue for you, hope I'm as lucky!
Can I ask what you used to clean your aligned? I'm such a slow eater I'm not sure how I'll fit in 3 meals and minimum 3 times teeth brushing in 2 hours, was thinking i could get sterilising tablets and soak aligned in that whilst i brush teeth? Or did you scrub them clean with something? I'm obviously going to ask dentist but in your opinion, would i be ok wearing them just at night for the 2 weeks we are in Florida? I wouldn't expect any progress but would it do damage somehow? Don't fancy brushing my teeth in restaurants and no way could I do the 22 hours thing unless I take them out at table when meals arrive and run to bathroom after! |

I’d wear them. You will be used to dealing with it in at meals. Get yourself little container to put it in your bag. Katie often just has a drink of water before reinserting. Not ideal but I think better than not wearing it.

My orthodontist warned me of receding gums but I already had some from over brushing so I’ve been saving for gum grafts to correct them after all my treatment.

I already have receding gums, will invisalign make this worse? My mom suffers with bone gum erosion and has lost 3 teeth now, my nan had the same and lost all of hers. I've not been too concerned as my teeth quite healthy and feel strong but where gums has receded I can see the root on a couple of teeth and they are sensitive now. I will mention this to orthodontist.

Yeah the main issue I had at that time was that my work day was so busy that I couldn't even guarantee being able to get lunch on any given day, much less have time to brush my teeth and put back the Invisalign after!
Oooh though errr snacking might be hard with the Invisalign. Actually this was a minor reason for me putting off getting Invisalign/braces a couple of years ago (impending WDW trip where I wanted to snack as it was Food and Wine)... Unfortunately I never went back after...
