Re: Invisalign all the way through

[Guest guest]

My orthodontist told me that the invisalign system was for very minor

teeth movement and she would never recommend it.

It's very costly and you can't get good movement fast if need be.

This has to be done with braces.

Sorry

impossible - especially if you're having surgery... get confirmation

from your ortho and surgeon

From what I know, you can't have invisilign with surgery - has to be

the real thing . Plus, from what I know, even without surgery,

invisilign's possibilities are limited, treatment time is longer, and

cost is higher.

I actually like my braces .

My dentist (who I don't use any longer) said I was the perfect

candididate for invisiline. I was a little skeptical since he wasn't

an ortho. I went to my ortho for a consult and told him about it.

He said no, I needed surgery to correct my bite and that would only

be possible with braces. I don't know a lot about invisiline except

what it looks like and that my dentist (former) has finance plans for

it. I would definately get an orthodontists opinion on the matter.

I'm not aware of any. Most who have inquired have been told that they

are not appropriate candidates for Invisalign...

But I am ready to be corrected! Technology's always improving.

In any case, the surgeon will need something, I would think, to wire

in a splint, wire or band you post op. Arch bars can be used (talk to

one of the Bob's who's just mentioned those) or regular brackets and

wires.

Sounds like you might be worried about what folks will think when

they see you. If that's the case, don't be. Most people (unless

you're a model or actress or such) really don't care, unless they

have questions about things of their own they wanna fix...

Best,
