How much does it cost???

Yes, my stepdaughter used it.
It costs a lot more than braces, and even though it advertises that it doesn't take as long, it CAN take as long. There's no guarantee.

If your case is SUITABLE for Invisalign, it works wonderfully well - as long as you do your part and wear them (almost) 24/7. Any dentist doing Invisalign has to be certified to use them and should be capable of making the diagnosis of whether or not to use them. If Invisalign was suggested to you, then it should work for your case.
I would not say that Invisalign is better or worse than braces, because it depends on the case. There is no set answer. After a few minutes of wearing them, your speech will sound just fine. They are very thin and pretty much exactly the same shape as your teeth. They do tend to increase the amount of saliva in your mouth at first, but you soon get used to that and the salivary flow seems to slow back to normal after a while, also.
In my rural South Jersey general practice, I charge $3,000 for most Invisalign cases, which is less than traditional braces in most cases. I have heard that some charge more for Invisalign than they do for braces, though. The thing is, I an not a specialist and I choose to do only "easy" cases that will not require extra devices to be used in conjunction with Invisalign. This can add to the fee significantly.

Yes, it does work, but it's not for everyone. Your dentist will tell you if you qualify. It can cost a couple of thousands of dollars. He takes impressions of your teeth and designs mouth guards. Every guard is different, they will make subtle changes in your teeth, so no 2 guards are the same. He will tell you which one is next. It takes longer than braces, but yes it does work for fixing small irregularities in the alignment of teeth.

You've got the WORST taste in music and would have the WORST taste in entertainment if you liked talentless reality shows! Listen to good music like ICP!

It can't be used on everyone. Only your orthodontist can tell you if it's right for you. My ortho told me that it would substantially more than the traditional braces that I had.

It absolutely does. I know two people who have tried it and their teeth are straight and beautiful.

I am pretty sure that it might work. But I am not 100% completely sure b/c there are paid advertisements that are not true.
