I want to straighten my teeth without having to deal with the mess and annoyance of braces and retainers which I had as a kid. I am in my early twenties, and I just want not-too-ugly retainer that I can wear at night to straighten four of my front teeth. Can invisalign work for that?

  1. no you wont get the same result

    you will be doing it in vain if you dont use it 24/7

    best option -Braces

    caus they are quicker


  2. You are the orthodontists worse nightmare.  If you don't follow the directions you won't get results and you will be mad at the orthodontist.  

    The rule for invisalign is 20 hours per day.  Now I know I could sleep for 20 hours a day, but my boss would;t like that.

    Generally, you can wear the invisalign without people noticing them.  Patients that I have who follow the instructions get the results hoped for.  Those that don't are typically disappointed cause the teeth just don't move.

    By the way, Invisalign will cost 50% more than regular braces.

    Having said that, you may not need Invisalign.  You may be able to have the teeth nudged back into place with a night-time retainer.  The orthodontist will be able to guide you on that.
