dental braces - Page 2

I was talking to my girlfriend about this recently.

Invisilines were popular in my high school. I argue that traditional braces look "better" because they are obvious. When someone would wear invisalign they were just noticeable enough to where I knew something about their face of "off" but I couldn't place my finger off it. Better to be seen with braces and have those around you know you will have a great smile eventually and to be seen with invisilines and have people think something is just a bit odd about your look.

my friend is doing the Red, White & Blue System. i'm not sure but i think its comparable to Invisalign, but its only to correct your front teeth is what i'm thinking from this article. she says its only been $500 for the system, but i'm not sure if its per tray or thats what it was with insurance.

either way, i think i'm going to look into them a little more. i had braces but i stopped wearing my retainers after 3 years and my upper eye teeth have sucken back a little bit. its not a huge deal bc my teeth look nicely white (i don't know how though bc i drink so much coffee) and straight in pictures but its the dental school hopeful in me that wants them perfect.

If you had 4 extractions (2 upper and 2 lower) plus braces for overbite and are unhappy with facial appearance and your braces have been off about a year and you don't wear your retainer in hopes the teeth will migrate back. Is there anyway to reverse this like opening the bite and pulling teeth forward? Looking for any alternatives.

i'm interested in the possibility of getting braces but i don't want to look like a metal mouth at my age.
