Basically, you get invisible braces sent direct to you rather than an ortho for $1500. I probably could afford the ortho route but the ortho that comes to our town I do NOT like so I'd have to travel at least 45 miles to be seen which is hard when you're running a business.
I'm just wondering if any peas have experience with the program.

I've never heard of this but I'm curious. I have one bottom tooth shifting out of place and I keep biting my lip. I'm going to explore braces for function. My top teeth which are the only teeth really visible are very straight so I'm ok with doing the bottom only.

My top teeth which are the only teeth really visible are very straight so I'm ok with doing the bottom only. I'm having the same issue -- one bottom tooth, just right of center. I doubt anyone else notices but it bugs me. When I was pregnant, I developed a small gap between my two front top teeth...apparently all kinds of things can shift around then! I'd like to get that closed up. |

I'd like to get that closed up. I have bit an actual hole in my lip several times. I once bit it so hard I damaged a tiny gland or something and developed a mucocele that needed to be removed by an oral surgeon and needed a couple sutures. I wonder if dental stuff like this is ever covered my medical insurance? |

I've ordered an assessment kit so I'll keep you updated if you like. I don't know if I'll qualify or not. I have a weird tooth on the bottom that I have suddenly started biting myself a lot. I keep wondering if it hasn't shifted.
Reviews seem to be mixed. Apparently their customer service isn't so great, but they say that it DOES work.

So this sounds like something I could talk my husband into.

invisible braces usually require some brackets on your teeth. it may sort of work, but $1500 is a lot to spend on something like that (that may not work at all.

DH had Invisalign, but through his dentist, not an ortho. They did install little bump like brackets on his teeth that the braces hooked onto. He had visits every three weeks where he would move to the next size braces.
