I've recently done this, got Invisalign one though. Once done, I have to have 2 veneers on the front also, smashed them when I was a kid on a bike, so they've been capped untill now. Someone in a club also took a bit of my bottom tooth out too, which will be rebuilt back up.
Cost a bomb, but be worth it as I dont like my teeth. Laser eye surgery is next on the list.

Anybody got an experience of a London based clinic? I'm looking at using the London Smile Clinic. Got an initial consultation next week. Thanks.

Wouldn't it be done on the NHS if it's affecting someone's mental health, for example, anxious to go out because of it, to smile, eat in public, always thinking their self in a bad light, sure I heard something about that.
I had them when I was about 13, glad I did now.

There is a criteria list on the NHS site somewhere that says when you'd be eligible to have it done on the NHS. Even when you get accepted the waiting list is usually a couple of years.

My sisters about 3-4 months into her invisalign treatment. Hows yours going?
I asked about veneers for my front two following treatment but he strongly advised against it. I guess if yours are damaged though you haven't got much choice.
