Invisalign

To do or not to do Invisalign to fix my bite. My teeth were never fixed by braces round 1, so the doctor could put them back on. I refused. Invisalign sounds good- 18 months- $1,000 more than braces- no 100% guarantee like braces, but the doctor would be willing. With my new insurance it would be about $2,300 out of my own pocket. Is it worth it? Hmmmmmm... I am susceptible to the Jay Leno jaw according to my former orthodontist, which would be the reason for fixing it. Surely that's not attractive... been thinking about this for a few months...

Mike: If you are going to do it, set aside/use your medical spending account money so it reduces your taxes. But that may mean waiting until next year during open enrollment when you set aside enough money in the spending account. That's a lot of shoes you are giving up . . .

Doctor or dentist? There is a clear distinction. :-P (Though I suppose dentists can be called "doctor" because they have a doctorate-level degree.)

My son in law looks so good after a year with Invisalign that I have been tempted.

I had Invisalign's during the last two years. LOVE THEM!! One of my sons also had them and the other didn't. I wish we'd done them for both. I also have three employees that had them. They liked them too (although one had to get wire braces afterward). So, by my own knowledge, I'd recommend them.
Good luck!
Mike

All had been said. Guess, you really need to save some to have them.
