Have you guys looked into "Invisalign" ?
Not everyone can be aligned with this and I don't know what is in the
plastic (but it's not metal).
I would like to have my teeth straightened but this costs the same as
regular braces and my budget trumps my vanity.
Just something to look into...
Blessings,
Lea Ann

Hi Mike--
My concern is the type of metals used in these appliances as I worry
about
the chance of heavy metals getting into our kids' systems. (though I doubt
most of us parents with children having this hardware in their mouths have
much of a choice.) I haven't done much research into this, but I should,
as
my son will be getting braces in a year or so. (He has headgear and
brackets at present.) I to find out what kind of metal is used, and if it
is known to give off vapors, I would like the chance to choose an
alternative, like I did with his fillings. They look at my like I've lost
my mind, but I face that with X-ray and fluoride issues. Of course,
anything not customary and ordinary insurance companies don't like to pay
for.
My contribution--
Theresa

Subject: CS>Orthodontia question...
Hi folks,
I have the greatest of respect for you all and treasure you as a most
valuable resource. I beg your indulgence for a personal question that
is not particularly CS related:
My 15 year old daughter needs braces. At least, she has a gap between
her front teeth that needs closing. Of course we don't know what else
the orthodontist will imagine needs doing until we go in there.
<roll eyes>
May I pick your brains for anything you'd care to share with me about
this subject? Things to avoid and seek out? Hazards? Risks? Costs?
Resources and information?
Please educate me!
Thank you,
Mike D.
