Metal Mouth Message Board

I've been reading a blog where people are saying they got cavities while wearing invisalign, is this something people here have experienced? I imagine people would only post if they do get cavities, which makes it look like everyone has them, so it would be good to hear if people have worn invisalig...

I read invisalign is faster!!

Does invisalign work well on bottom teeth? It seems like it would be difficult to keep the brace on the bottom. Also, is retention the same afterwards whether you've had fixed braces or invisalign - do they move the teeth in the same way? I'm really struggling as to whether to go for invisalign or f...

Hello, I'm 34 I'm going to be in braces about 2 years as well!
