I had a braces for 2ish years in my early teens, then was fitted with a retainer, and...wasn't very responsible about wearing it. Now, my teeth aren't nearly as straight as I'd like them to be. In fact, they're pretty crooked on the bottom. Invisalign sounds like the perfect solution...{except the cost...it IS pricey}. This was a very interesting post because I have a similar story.

I have a teen who is almost 16 and we're just to the point now where we can go the braces route. I was curious about the Invisalign because I feel bad we weren't able to get them earlier and I truly didn't want her self-conscious in her Senior pictures if she had to wear braces. Definitely going to check this out and see what we can do to get her started! I really appreciate this post!

And invisalign CAN be used on younger kids as long as all their adult teeth have come out, and of course that varies kid per kid. So it's definitely something to consider.

We were thinking of letting our son get Invisalign when he needs braces next year (he'll be 11)... did they talk about kids that young, or was it mainly geared towards teens?

I just recently began (like last week) mentioning braces for myself to my husband. I saw a commercial for Invisalign and was wondering about it. Thanks for this post and I wish they could have given you some kind of discount for your readers or something like that. !! This comes at a PERFECT time for me.

I needed them really, really bad. I could probably use the Invisalign now to fix my Ihatetheretainter problems, but meh, I can live with it. I had regular braces as an adult, and I’m so glad I did.

I've never had braces, but have some tooth issues I wish I didn't have :(....I've looked into invisalign and would love to have it, but it's just a budget issue now. :( Oh well, I've come this far in life smiling, I suppose I can make the rest of the way, lol.
