I really want to get Invisalign however I’m hesitant! I’ve got an overbite, it was corrected but then I didn’t wear my retainer, usual story, mum and dad furious blah blah, it’s back - but this time with a gap in my front teeth and the bottom ones all crooked! Never had an issue with wonky / overlapping teeth when I originally had them sorted so am pretty angry at teenage me. Anyway it completely knocks my confidence! I HATE my side profile / relaxed face and make a conscious effort to adjust my mouth to make it look as “nice” as possible. Would love to live without that nonsense!?

I’ve had the consultation and obviously Invisalign won’t solve my overbite 100% but by closing the gap and fixing the bottom teeth it would get rid of it to a standard I’m sure I’d be chuffed with. And the practice throw in a fixed retainer and whitening, win. Just wondering if anyone who has finished their treatment actually got similar results to their 3D scan or is it a lieeee!?

I have Invisalign, I had many issues with my teeth and jaw throughout my life and had poor work done on the NHS as a teenager. It has been a stop and start journey with many amendments along the way. I paid €4500 and have been plodding on for just over 3 years now. I have another 6 months or so to go.

The aligners stopped working on my bottom teeth so I have a fixed brace there now and it didn't work on a top back tooth which became twisted. Have brackets on there too. And elastics joining top and bottom together (thank god we wear masks a lot now).

However, the difference it had made had been fantastic, it changed my face shape for the better, I hated my teeth before and don't even give them a thought now.

It sounds like your work to be done is minimal in that time frame. If you can afford it I wouldn't hesitate.

Yup I’ve had it. Started it the week before lockdown. I’ve finished now - just on my retainer part. I went to my dentist and it was £3200.
I’m made up and sooo happy.
