Anyone Who’s Gone Through Invisalign?

By Orthodontics Editor, on June 11th, 2009

I went to the orthodontist to talk about straightening my teeth. I am not in my teens so I didn’t really want braces. He said that Invisalign would work great for me. He said that it’d take about a year to completely straighten both top and bottom(at first I was only planning on doing the top teeth, but while they’re at it, they can take care of the bottom as well.) And the cost is about $3000.
For those who’ve had Invisalign or are going through it, how is it? Painful? Are those trays a real pain in the butt to manage? Can people notice you’ve got them in? Can you drink water with them in?(I’m constantly drinking water throughout the day)

Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
