Well I'm starting this journey and I'm very excited! I've wanted to straighten my teeth for a while now and I now have the opportunity to do it. I debated between braces and Invisalign for a while but decided on Invisalign for a few reasons:
Looks - I'm in my 30s and have a career where I interact with various people throughout the day. I just didn't want to have to wear the silver braces. I have no problem when other people do it, to each his own. It just wasn't for me at this time in my life.
Time - I've been told by a few orthodontists that straightening my teeth is a simple case and that I shouldn't have the braces on for long. However, everyone that I know that has had "simple" cases, and "shouldn't have to wear their braces for long" have had to wear them for 2 years or longer. I've heard that the Invisalign time is close to what the dentist says up front.
Convenience - From what I understand, there are a list of things that folks can't eat when wearing braces. So to avoid all of that, I went with Invisalign.
So, right or wrong, these are the reason that I chose Invisalign. We will see if it will be worth it to have gotten them over braces!
