Your dentist is lying!! Sorry to be so blunt, but my teeth were HORRID! The only good thing about them was that they were a gorgeous naturally white colour (which my dentist said people pay fortunes for, to have their teeth as white as mine!). I had overlapping teeth, some sticking out... it was just horrid. I was so self-conscious of them and never hardly smiled as I got paranoid people were looking at them.
I really thought veneers were the only answer as I never thought for a second anything else could be done. When my dentist first recommended invisalign, I refused instantly as I didn't believe for a second that a brace could sort them out. In fact, I was angry at my dentist for trying to even convince me to try them. It was only after seeing lots of before and after pics of his other clients who had had invisalign done that I started to think maybe they could help.
It is without doubt the best thing I've ever done. Yes, they were expensive, but for they have made me smile for a lifetime!
Honestly, the difference they have made is brilliant. I smile ALL the time. Two of my friends were so impressed with the results that they're now having invisalign too!
Whenever I show people my 'before' and 'after' pics, they can't believe the difference.
And best of all, they are my own natural teeth, and not bits of material stuck onto drilled down stumps!
