Yeah they are expensive but what isn't, as Becca always says.   

I never skimp on travel or on self improvement, so the price is ok. 

As for being to cute,  girl yeah i'm way to cute for metal ones, not to mention way to old.   LOL.

Thank you Ahsieym79

My broken down knees from that 64 minute run this morning can prove as testimony that I am indeed 46 years old.   LOL. 

Thanks for the compliment.

I can only send (((((HUGS))))).  I'm also a  frequent eater these days so I can imagine that this will be a big adjustment.

Lee I didnt have invaslign but I did have braces.  Since I figured that 30 was too old to be having a mouth full of metal I went with porclain braces.  I was very pleased with how they looked and you could barely see them in pictures.  As far as I understand it if you want your teeth to stay in place you will have to wear a retainer each night forever.  I will admit after 5 years I dont wear my retainer EVERY night but I did for the first 4 years.  So far so good.  I was having problems with jaw pain and the braces did the trick!  Don't be scared you'll do just great!

Thanks for the advice April.

I am nerveous but i'm tired of having a headache and jaw ache and neck ache which leads to shoulder pain every single day.   

I  grind my teeth constantly and I can't make myself stop doing it,  my teeth are really damaged in the back from all the grinding and they have started to shift and that is why I now need freaking braces.

I thought about getting the porcelin ones but decided invisalign would be best for me,  I just don't know i'm so nerveous now that the time is almost here.

Lee,
 As I got older they started to shift.They are worth the pain and money, I got mine last March and have retainers for the upper and still and working on the bottoms. It is a job with always brushing and flossing. Just got them zoomed. Gaps are closed and my grill is tight.

Hi Virtly

My teeth have shifted and I am getting spaces on the side.   But the biggest thing is the grinding is causing me to much pain every day I am in pain and the grinding has cracked a couple teeth also.  

So the ortho is thinking the braces will help me to stop the grinding while correcting the misaligned teeth at the same time.

I hope so.

I am also a grinder and the braces helped a lot. I grind under stress when I'm asleep.
