Well, as it's been explained to me - unless it's someone that is like a celebrity or has some job where they'er appearance is very important - they are usually crazies. She said she figures it's because they are so incredibly self-concious about their looks but she's not sure exactly why. In every business you get crazy customers. In ortodontics, it's for example ones that go from doctor to doctor until they hear an answer they want to hear - that teeth don't need to be pulled or all the doctors except one say that the person needs surgery on jaw. So WHY exactly they are nuts we can't say, but there is definitely a correlation between crazies and wanting invisible braces.

Can't drink anything hot with invisalign in either, because it can melt/warp the plastic
general rule is anything but water is not allowed with invisalign inI like turtles.Comment

Fun fact: Tea is way worse than coffee when it comes to staining your teeth.. Especially black teas
I guess that's why people in the UK have a reputation for having bad teethI like turtles.Comment

The whitening process which incorporates UV is exponentially more effective than just the trays by themselvesComment

I've been using the sensi repair toothpaste to prepare for it for the last 3 weeks. My teeth are sensitive to cold which does seem to have gotten better using the toothpaste, so I hope it's not going to be too bad.
I don't think my dentist has the UV light or they would have offered it. That would be so much faster!Comment

My wife had them. They weren't really noticeable. I think it beats wearing braces a year or two over having fucked up teethComment

Do they go back to their normal sensitivity after a few days though? I assume you've had this done.
I have to go to dentist next wed. Maybe they can put something on my teeth to take away the sensitivity. Wishful thinking.Comment

I'd highly recommend Invisalign, I've used it a few years back and it worked perfectly, plus it's nice to be able to take them off to eat and brush your teeth. The nice thing is that my dentist also gave me some bleach to put into the trays to whiten also.
The only thing that they don't tell you about invisalign is that they use cement to create little notches on some of your teeth to give the trays more leverage to help move the teeth, it matches your tooth color, so it's not so bad though. I'd do it all over again if I had to.Comment

Flouride treatments and sensodyne before and after is what the Doc recommends. Theres really nothing you can do to numb the tooth when the dentin tubules are exposed.Comment

I am actually thinking about getting implants for some of my missing teeth in the back of my crazy head. LOL Lost them years ago due to a stupid brawl and since no one can see them I let them go. But others are starting to chip around them, plus I want a "Hollywood smle"...
So I go to a dentist here in NYC last week and the price for this kind of work (caps, implants, etc etc): $32,000. Surgeries, down time, etc: 18-24 months to look People magazine-ready.

Why not send your records to a few different dentists (or the treatment plan they gave you) and see what it will cost in other places.
May be worth the trip to Philly to go to Temple where the students are. They probably have the same thing in NYC.
SCREW a LONG treatment plan. I want my shit done that day!Comment

Yeah I agree. There are one-day options out there but that's pretty extreme. Philly is not far, plus we have good dentistry schools here in NYC (Columbia, NYU). But the real savings could be going to Thailand or some such place and getting the same shit doen for $10,000 or less. Of course, if shit goes wrong you're in a foreign country, and we are talking surgery here....My Affiliate Programs:

I briefly considered the implants...but the cost was too insane. I was gettin' quotes of $1200 per tooth. We had the money at the time - but I just couldn't justify it. Plus the procedure of putting 32 screws into my jaw made me somewhat squeemish.
I've never regretted the dentures.Comment

How do you eat steak with braces on? I hate that.Comment
-
No the thing melting I was referring to plastic retainers. They look identical to invisalign trays. Google invisalign tray and you will see what I was talking about.
The braces were not fragile at all. They tell you not to eat certain things but as long as you're careful you can eat anything you want.. Except maybe stuff like candy apples etc
Steak was also no problem at all ^I like turtles.Comment

I remember I was considering "inspire ice" braces, anybody have an opinion on those?Comment
