Braces/Invisalign... Worth it for me?!


Question: Braces/Invisalign!.!.!. Worth it for me!?
I had braces for 5 years and my teeth were perfect when they came off (about 2 years ago i got them off)!.!.!.
My teeth still look perfect, but I can feel where they're not entirely straight any more!. I still wear my retainer all the time!.!. and the fact i can feel where they've moved drives me INSANE!. would it be worth getting braces or invisalign for a couple months to get them back to where they feel; smooth!? Does anyone have any idea of the cost!?
Even the dentist said my teeth turned out really good, but they just dont feel straight to be and it constantly bothers me!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
what you should do is go back to your ortho
you can get CLEAR retainers made!.!.!.!.!.!.!.theyll have to take a new mould of your top and bottom rows but theyll make new ones for you and then they can create tiny pressure points on the retainers which will push your teeth back into place!.
this is what happened to me when i partially broke my permanent retainer on my bottom row!.!.!.and it didnt take long at all for the retainers to work their magic!!
if i was in your situation, i would definetly head back to my ortho and ask about just getting retainers cause theres no way id wanna go thru braces all over again!.!.!.!.!.
the retainers would also be cheaper than invislaign, so if they can do the same job!.!.!.and since youve already had braces its not like youre teeth are terrible, its just making a few tweaks!.!.!.then i think the retainers should work for you!
good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

i know how you feel! i have the exact same problem!. honestly, getting braces or invisalign will cost too much money and isn't worth it!. Try wearing your retainer all day and all night (i know it's disgusting) !.!.!.i only wear mine at night and my teeth move back to their bad spots during the day- it drives me absolutely insane! but i'm too chicken to wear my retainer all day, i just can't stand it!.!.!.!.but if you have the guts, hey! go for it! haha!.!.!.i'm just saying that getting braces of invisalign again will be too much money to even bother with it!. If you're like rich or something and the money isn't a problem, then that could work too!. =]

Hope this helps! I can't wait to see what other answers you get because I have this same problem myself =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would first try to get a clear retainer, mine was only $120 and it keeps my teeth straight!. I wouldn't go and get braces again, it's true that a few years later they'll shift again!. But I've noticed that the clear retainer is just like invisalign and keeps your teeth in place!. I would just go back to the ortho!. tell them you'd like a clear retainer!. It takes about 15 minutes or less to make!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had the exact same problem as you and had braces before!. I was going to get invisalign, and had set up an appointment for them!. I found out the cost was around $5,000, but sometimes they have a bunch of promotional discounts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wish I had gotten braces early on!.!.as soon as I have insurance, I have to go get braces!. kind of sucks!.

If you'r teeth are strait, if your dentist says they're fine, they're fine!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

But if they look straight, and people don't notice!.!.!.!.why waste your money!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
