Thinking about it-- anyone have any experiences with it to straighten their teeth? good results? |

I started in January 2004 and got my last tray by December '04. I am now wearing the last tray for a year followed by a year of wearing a retainer at night.
It only took 10 months to go from crooked to straight- great!!!
2 Caveats- 1. You can take them out. It is important you are disciplined and leave them in at all times other than meals. 2. They impact your speech. Get used to talking slower to annunciate. I am at the point where I take them out for newscasts but I wore them in all newscasts the first year.
I highly recommend them if you are disciplined. It was the only way to correct my teeth- being onair. Also, your Medical Spending Account may be used to cover some of the costs- check it out. You may actually get a tax break for invisilign- I did.
