The braces I have are regular braces, but each brace is clear on top and metal on the bottom and they are tiny. I believe they are called Datons or Daytons. When I went to get braces they told me I could pick out which style I wanted, and these were the smallest. So you may still have options, even if you can't get the invisalign.<P>If you are really wanting braces, go for it. The time will pass quickly and I am sooo glad I did it.Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:10:37 GMTSweetgirlhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic395380-5-1.aspxI seen the preview for the news and heard that, but didnt get a chance to catch the program..

Plus, the treatment takes a lot longer (or so I was told, anyway) I think mine were around 5500, my brothers were 4800 (plain metal)</P><P>I knew a guy in CEGEP who had the invisalign, and I never even noticed till he told me.

The orthodontist told us that they break easier (for a child I presume) and the casings are actually bigger than the metal ones so your lip sticks out more and you might have trouble saying some words.<P><STRONG>ETA:</STRONG> DUH....don't mind me...I thought you meant clear braces. :blush:Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:02:24 GMTanaksahttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic395380-5-1.aspxHey Crystal,<BR><BR>I had them in high school..... i don't have time right now to tell you all about them.. but i'll send you a FB message (i'm sure i have you on fb)Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:58:15 GMTsgilmourhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic395380-5-1.aspxDo you mind if I ask the price difference??Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:42:38 GMTcrystalfhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic395380-5-1.aspxI went for a consult last week for braces...they described the invisalign to me &amp; the care etc. etc. it was too much hassle, I chose the clear braces &amp; I am just waiting to hear back from my insurance company.<P><IMG src="http://forums.canadianbride.com/Uploads/Images/0313557c-e4f2-4a13-80fa-e29f.jpg">Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:52:18 GMTDonnaBellahttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic395380-5-1.aspxI went for a consult and they looked great but I ended up not doing it.

They are super expensive though so make sure you either have the cash or a great plan!</P><P>And I'd suggest looking on their website for the rated orthodontists.
