Stitches040 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hey All ... Just seeing who out here have had the Adult Braces? Either the Invisaline or the 6 Month Smile versions. I am finally debating getting them. I am just seeing if anyone has any opionons of the outcome? Do you like your smile now? Were they uncomfortable or pretty bareable? Are they worth money? They are typically more expensive, compared to wired/cememt braces. I am starting to take care of problems caused from long ago, and since I've started the process of fixing everything, I figured I'd get the works, and straighten them out too. ... So, please voice your stories and opinions ... Thanks In Advance, Shuan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkins6789 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I used invisilign for retainers while in boot camp. You take them out to eat, and clean them good you will be fine. I had the standard braces when I was 16. It just sucked to not be able to eat certain things Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have only had the normal braces when I was younger. It wasnt bad, your teeth will get sore from moving but other than that it wasnt a problem. I would say its worth it as your smile and teeth and normally one of the first things people see. If they bother you enough to think about having them corrected and you have the funds for it why wait? Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Hey Jim ... That sucks. I can do the Old School ones, but he said it would be about 1.5 years, but I can accomplish the same, with the 6 Month Smile ... only problem is the cost .. $$$ ... big money. Seeing I'm not getting any younger, it's time now to fix all of the damage I had done to my teeth in being a kid, and playing hockey ...

chrishoekusmc Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I actually got invisalign last week. It was a little uncomfortable for the first 2-3 days. My whole program will be a little over 9 months and it will cost about 5500 total. I'm active duty and uncle Sam wasn't buying so this route is the only option I could do. Anyway, let me know if you have any question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot better deal than I'm getting. I would jump on that. They really aren't too bad though. Main issues are that your teeth will feel huge and you may have a lisp when you say some words.
