I go through phases of wanting my crowded teeth sorting.
Had a consultation a while back and was told I was likely to need Invisalign for up to 2 years, costing £3K and needing fortnightly trips to dentist.
I ruled that out due to possible relocation, cost and the fact that my own dentist ( who referred me to that orthodontist) is not convinced about Invisalign- she thinks it can move teeth too quickly and long term they move back.
So- back to the drawing board.
I am wary of having visible braces- I am mid 50s, and although I know people have braces at any age, wearing them for 2 years seems a long haul. (My mum had hers at 75 BTW!)
-Has anyone had braces at the back of their teeth?
-Do they work?
-How often do they need adjusting ( this would give me ore options over who does them)
-What about tradtitional braces on front but clear - are they £££ too?
