Invisalign Reviews: What the customers think
There are many reviews and testimonials on Invisalign, which are mostly positive, a mixture of different cases but with a satisfying outcome for clients either way.
As mentioned repeatedly, Invisalign are a great alternative to metal braces, as they are clear, can be removed and do the exact job of straightening teeth.
Though there have been a few negative reviews for Invisalign, they are nothing that can be compared to the positives, for examples reviews for the treatment on realself have a 78%, 4 star rating for Invisalign our of 1174 reviews.
But we have a look at the pros and cons of Invisalign reviews from customers around the net talking about their experience.
Pros of Invisalign
- Discreet appearance:
Wishwishwish.net blog: “Until I tell people, they usually don’t notice my aligners at all. People might notice that something is slightly off, as wearing bits of plastic around your teeth isn’t exactly natural, but the more you get used to them, the easier it is to hide them.”
- Removable:
Comment on Yelp by Alex B: “My least favorite thing about braces is seeing people get their braces off after a year or so and then find out that the braces prevented them from brushing or flossing their teeth properly so now they have a bunch of cavities. It happens way to often. With invisalign you can just remove it to clean your teeth. Awesome.”
- Great for gaps and crooked teeth:
Comments on bracesinfo.com “I have had spaces in my lowers all my life and didn’t want to get braces, so I found an Invisalign premium provider who has handled cases like mine by the hundreds. The process was very easy and I’m glad it over. It is a bit painful when teeth move, but it was worth it. I’m wearing my retainer now every night to hold my teeth in place as my orthodontist was very clear that if I didn’t the spaces could open back up again.”
Bracesinfo.com “Amazing treatment and the result well I can’t stop smiling. I have hated my teeth all my life now I love them. I was one of those typical people who dint smile because my teeth we misaligned and crooked”
Cons of Invisalign
- Pain:
Kate on realself.com says: “I just got my first tray put on today and it hurts like hell. I’ve had them on now for around 5 hours and I feel the pain is just getting worse…” But later updated her primary comment by saying, “So I’m a week in and the pain is pretty much gone. I can still feel pressure and bulky ness but it’s much better. Also my speech is not 2 bad.
- Cost:
Foreveramber.com “The expense. Oh my holy hell, the expense. This obviously differs from person to person, but most dentists seem to quote a starting price of around £1,500. Yeah.”
Realself.com “How good an investment Invisalign is depends very much on your teeth and how much you need done and how quickly you want it done :)”
Conclusion
In conclusion, for everyone, his or her situation will be different. No one has the same teeth structure, shape or colour so the end result will completely depend on your Invisalign process and how well you look after your aligners and follow Invisalign rules. With regards to the negative reviews on people experiencing pain from Invisalign, this is generally down to getting used to them and feeling the shift in teeth rather than constant pain.
In addition, the cost of Invisalign though can be seen quite high for some people, mostly people see the worth in it when their treatment is complete. There is also insurance schemes that can pay a certain amount of the costs, or you can pay for Invisalign in instalments and try and have a look out for deals and offers!
