Anyone done Invisalign recently? How was your experience and was it worth it? How long did you have then for?

My son just finished uo his Invisalign. He wore them for a year and has a retainer that he wears at night. Easier than braces and he has great results.

Did it at PwC. Their medical plan covered it in full. Great experience. Would definitely do it all over again.

I’m doing it right now. As previously mentioned it does give you a slight lisp, so I take them out for phone calls and presentations. I just started my 4th week and my dentist said even with the amount I’m taking them out for work I’m on track. It will take me 18 weeks total.

I can’t remember the cost. We use my husband’s benefit plan and there is a one time orthodontia benefit that I think was $1500.

How much did it cost? Were you able to apply it to your HSA to help cover costs?

I did it during work and it was good. I wasn’t as religious as you optimally need to be (20+ hours a day) but results were still solid

Because of that, took longer than anticipated. Year vs 6 months

I did it and it works really well but does give you a slightly awkward lisp though so maybe not optimal for work

Thanks for the input everyone!

I’m on my 12th week, and the process has been fantastic. Some mild expected awkwardness and a little pain, but just last night a friend commented on how great my teeth look! I know I have 6 more trays already made to go, switch them out weekly, and wear them slightly less than the 22 recommended hours, but overall highly recommend the process. Insurance wise- my firm’s insurance is just ok, but I paid the rest via HSA.

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out.

My husband and I want to start a family so in preparation for pregnancy I tried lowered my Vyvanse dose from 40 mg to 30 mg to see if I could get by on lower dose. I feel like I’m not even taking medicine at all. When you lowered a dose did you get used to this feeling or should I know right away that this isn’t going to work? I feel withdrawal like my brain is slow and I can’t keep a thought in my mind long enough to finish the thought. I’m on day 4 and it sucks!
