Does anyone have experience with Invisalign as an adult? Any places in Chicago they recommend? I have Cigna DPPO insurance.

Thank you!

Not in Chicago, but did Invisalign as an adult and no regrets! Just be prepared to be committed to proper wear and cleaning for the duration of your treatment, otherwise it’s pointless to spend the money. Good luck!!

I finished my treatment just over three years ago and have faithfully worn the retainer nightly.

I would test out whether you're willing to eat food only in small windows a few times a day. It's a big lifestyle change if you're someone who grazes, drinks coffee or tea throughout the day, wine at night, etc. The trays hurt to get out and it's a pain to brush each time you take them out so most people try to minimize the number of times they take them out. Also make sure your ortho tells you all the cons. Some people end up needing teeth shaved, having black triangles between teeth, need rubber bands or bite bumps, get cavities, etc. I tried it and quit - it wasn't for me and was worried about the undisclosed negatives. Had a couple of friends who did adult clear braces and recommended them over invisalign. May try that instead.

Definitely push and ask questions and make sure you understand the treatment plan. I made my ortho go through every risk listed on the consent form and explain it in plain English and asked him what my risk truly was.

Yeah I did it twice 🤦‍♀️ in Seattle because I was a bad patient, it’s worth it! Use the timer app and make sure you have it in most of the day.

Thank you!
