I would go with the 2 comprehensive if I were you. There is very little long term research to back up the 6 month ortho thing. At least with the comprehensive you know that you will get all your teeth in the right place for a lifetime not just the front ones put in the right place and the back ones ...

I would not go to a general dentist for any ortho stuff. (learned the hard way) Just go to the orthodontist, these guys go through at least 2 more years of school after dental school. What happens if the invisalign doesn't go the way the general dentist planned out? THEN you will get referred to an ...

Slickster, Where are you located? Who is your orthodontist? I would like to talk to him. I would be interested in this type of treatment except that I think it might leave you in a situation where you wish you had gone "whole hog" and done the comprehensive treatment....

I am interested in figuring out which kind of office most folks on this board choose to go to. Is your ortho the only ortho in the office? Do they have more than one ortho? Do they have more than one location? Or is it a chain type with a brand name like "Your State Orthodontics" that runs...

I think the title says it all. I am in Georgia and I was wondering what orthodontists are doing everyone's treatment?? I am not in braces at the moment so no one is treating me...

How much were you charged for the first set of essix retainers?? I understand sometimes replacement ones are cheaper but how much was your first set?

I would ask specifically if he is an orthodontist. I can tell you that many general dentists present themselves as orthodontists with certificates and plaques on the wall but when ask directly they will say "no I am a general denist" or the really tricky ones will say "I do Orthodonti...

I am not sure this guy is an "ortho" as in orthodontist. I see that he does all sorts of dentistry and no where on his site does it say he completed a residency. Are you sure he is an orthodontist? Anyone else on this site have their ortho completed by a general dentist? What is the opinio...

What all did this cost you?? Did the ortho charge you for both the invisalign and the braces or what??

I was wondering how difficult everyone here thought it was to become an orthodontist? How smart and/or successful do they have to become one? Do you know what kind of education your orthodontist went through?

I am not looking to put anyone down and don't want names posted unless you are bragging on your ortho.... But my question is simple would you choose the same person again?? If so why? if NOT why not?
