A girl at work has just had these fitted. Apparently she doesn't have to wear them for as long as one would the traditional "train-tracks" but a retainer is required once they are removed to prevent the teeth moving again.
I believe they cost a fair amount but you would not know she was wearing them just by looking.

invisilign is a fairly new technology, i have a friend who is having it done, and i know a far bit because of my job, basically the idea is to have ortho work done without anyone knowing/ less invasive (spelling) it works by having retainers put in to your mouth on your upper and lower teeth you should wear them for 23hours of the day, they are changed every 2 weeks with a very slight movement to gently push your your teeth into place, with every new retainer it can be slightly uncomfortable for a few days whilst your mouth gets use to them,
you have to see your dentist and they may have to remove teeth because of over crowding. they may not
you should be able to get them for 3k, they all get sent to the same place in america its just your dentist who bumps up the price.
hope that helps you may already know through research but this may give you an idea.

Well oddly enough, Peterpeter is the co-inventor and owner of the Inman aligner, which as I understand it, is more effective than the Invisalign. It is very good, and he has a huge portfolio of experience with photo cases. Contact him and ask him about it.m them, would be looking to spend £3000 at most. Has anyone here had it done?
It can depend on many factors as to which is best - check with your dentist or better still an orthodontist ( who specializes in straightening teeth )
Inman aligners are good for mild crowding cases but anything more severe or involving rotations of teeth may be better with fixed braces or invisalign.

Actually, I don't think that's true. Invisalign has a more limited range of use than Inman, but I think Peterpeter is the expert here, so my advice is to email him.Inman aligners are good for mild crowding cases but anything more severe or involving rotations of teeth may be better with fixed braces or invisalign.

Invisalign is starting to be used for more technical cases but it involves adding "bits" on to teeth and it can then take as long as a fixed appliance.
The Inman aligner is good for aligning mildly crowded teeth but it can't move teeth in the way a fixed brace can.They each have their uses...get advice on them all - pros and cons.

Went to the orthodontist in Oxford on Tuesday to sort out my bottom set of teeth, they are trying to upsell me to do both upper & lower.
Invislign price was £4k spread over 2 years of treatments or £3700 cash up front
The problem as I see it (for me anyway) is weaing them a minimum of 22 hours a day for 18-24 mnonths then a retainer for another 9 months - huge commitment
They reckon they have treated 100 cases and have had excellent results from those that do stick to the regime.

Inman would be faster and probably cheaper. Email peterpeter for advice.Invislign price was £4k spread over 2 years of treatments or £3700 cash up front

If you can put up with the appearance, why not go for a conventional fixed brace with metal brackets - they are not too noticeable on lower teeth and might be a bit quicker.
You could go for a permanent retainer which is bonded to the back of your teeth after the brace comes off. That's top dollar for Invisalign...

IA is far quicker and cheaper in the anterior region only. Its more of a cosmetic treatment who don't like their crooked front teeth.
Invisalign can (almost) treat the whole mouth, but takes longer and is more expensive.
Hi Peterpeter. How effective do you think Inman aligners really are? I'm thinking about doing the course as I think IF it's effective it would be another good product to slot in just under the Invisalign. Do you do them or do you know anyone who uses them regularly? Feel free to PM me.
