how much is the cost? can you see a bilge around your lip when you close your mouth while wearing it? does it really work? does it hurt?

hm... I don't have braces, nor will I use invisalign (it's probably too expensive), but I hear that if you leave it on too long, it makes your teeth yellow. Now, I'm not positive on that, so I'll ask my mom about it (She's a dentist)
As for the lip thing, i doubt it, since its just a thing piece of 'whatever that is' sticking onto your teeth, so I guess it's unoticiable o_o;; |

i had the metal braces then got invisalign for my retainers... it sucked.. invisialign breaks so easily and its like 300 bucks to replace them.. i should have just gotten the regular retainers...
 they dont show around your lips when you're wearing them.. in fact no one can tell that you're wearing them.. its a little annoying though cuz you have to take them out everytime you eat.. |

Ugh, I'd just rather get braces.
I think they're more expensive than braces, as well. |

invisilign costs about 5000 bucks i think, and well i ve hear dppl say that it doesn't really work and ur teeth sort of go back in 10 yrs.. the major reason i get invisilign is cuz i might not get my teeth pulle dout.

i dont wanna use it, but i thought if i had to get braces i guess that's better
but let a professional on teeth decide on that  i saw the commercials, it seems like it really works well. but that's COMMERCIALS, who ever believe commercials? |

Ew.
Invisalign does NOT work. Some girl in my Geometry class has had hers for like 3 years; her teeth are still crooked. Plus, the invisalign isn't completely clear. It always looks like she's got something in or on her teeth... like spit or something. Plus it's bulky and ugly. |

yeah...i mean braces aren't so bad, at least there's a lot of ppl getting them around this time, and it won't really matter...in my opinion there's no point in paying more for something that might not even help

Let's face it, everyone.
Getting your teeth fixed is going to suck, no matter how you do it. You ARE going to get stains on your teeth, no matter what. Just look at it this way. You have a lovely, straight, american smile and lovely bleaching to look forward to. |

They're about 500 dollars more than regular braces. I don't really like them, because they stain your teeth easily.

alot of people says it doesnt work.
 . maybe i should just go with braces like everyone else. i kinda find the idea of having little squares pieces of metal attached to your teeth, cool. i just wanted to see if i had more options.

Anyways, I wanted invisalign but they aren't insured or something. Some people actually look cuter with braces then without. |
