Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 It has bee a while since I last visited the site. For the newer members I am 60+, have a severe overjet (14mm) and have started the prelimineries to bring my top teeth back prior to surgery. I am on an Invisalign program and so far so good. Top teeth have been pulled back 3mm and expanded to make some room. I am on #19 of 63 aligners so a long way to go yet. Why not conventional braces? - pride. Some time ago I read on this forum of a new (?) treatment that substantially reduced the risk of long term numbness. Does anyone remember this? I have been told that because of my age, the risks are higher for long term numbness so any prospect of reducing this are attractive. If there are any other oldies out there who have made it through I would appreciate learning of their experiences From Melbourne, Australia Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
