Suggestions on the best way to take care of a missing tooth?

Question

need different suggestions on the many ways you can take care of a missing tooth. I know there are implants, flippers, invisalign, valplast partials, etc. Anybody have these or other things and how much did they cost? Do you like them? Do they look natural? Are they comfortable? Please only serious answers. Thanks

Hi, well I have invisalign. Like six years ago, I had a accident on a jet ski, where I lost my front tooth. I was in high school and needed to fix it. However my parents could not afford to pay for an implant for me, which ran at the time around 2,500.00 so they got me a partial plate that cost about 300.00. The partial was weird at first because I had to take it off at night, but I could wear it during the day, and i could even eat with it. Now I am 22, and I have a steady job and I am on the way to get my implant. However, they told me that if i wanted my implant it was going to take some healing process, and also It was going to be permanent. I dont have the straightest teeth, so they suggested I get braces before the implant so i could get a better result. So I got invisalign, I am on my second week now, and the first days i was sore, however, I hate it! I cant eat in public because I have to remove invisalign when eating! yeah They did not tell me that! The implant is costly but if i could go back in time i would and get it when i was younger and i had more bone i could care less for straigh teeth now. good luck and go to several dentist and ask away, the first consultation is always free so well inform yourself and see what suits you best.   :)
