Anyone tried Invisalign braces? How much did yours cost?

Was quoted >$8000 by a specialist so dunno if it's worth it. Your comments will be appreciated.

Is it possible to pay by a few instalments to the dentist or must make a 1 time payment before commence braces treatment?

50% upfront then instalments by number of alignments needed.

I did teeth whitening before. Not those by dentists.


A few shades whiter but gave me sensitive teeth. Ooh... Pain wor. I don't have sensitive teeth previously, never knew how it was like. Saw those toothpaste for sensitive teeth commercials, was always wondering got so pian meh? So drama...

The lady who did my whitening did tell me, the process might bring forth sensitive teeth. It really happened! For a few weeks I did have sensitive teeth and finally knew how it felt to have lightning strikes in my mouth. The lucky thing is it didn't last. Heng ar....

Imami, whitening not done by dentist ?? what is that then ?

They can't be dentists! It's one of those groupon promo. Done in only aesthetic. They also do lipo sculpture or something, slimming etc.

I think it was some kind of visual trick :? after staring at the blue light for a good 10mins, when I removed the tray and rinsed mouth my teeth looked whiter.... but today, under sunlight, room light, my teeth look same old same old... :sad:

oh isit ? no wonder the manufacturers use BLUE led light...
maybe it takes time, try longer and see how it goes....

I think the whitening strips work better... just once a week... stick on 5mins... not so troublesome

I very vain I use 3 of them...

For the starter, I use this heavy-duty one:-
Crest 3D White Whitestrips Intensive Professional Effects 7 treatments $58

After about 5x my teeth achieved my desirable whiteness, I switch to:-
Crest 5 Minute Touch-Ups with Stain Shield $37
I use the entire box of 14x

Now I just use this once a week or whenever I have too much red wine:-
Crest Gentle Routine Dental Whitening $37.

Once every 2-3 months, I will use the heavy duty one for a more thorough whitening ...

(It's Complicated! :imanangel: )

Before using Crest, I tried 2 other brands I bought from CVS, but not much result.... Crest works best.

Hope you will like it too :celebrate:

PS. No shipping charges :please:

yes, the sensation went off but the teeth still white. But very hard to maintain - the staff did mention I need to stay away from dark colored stuff in order to prolong the effect. How can I live without coffee :sad:
:idea: unless I am pregnant again! When I was pregnant with my first baby, I was totally off coffee. Not becos of health reasons but ironically I couldn't stand the smell of coffee!

When I first use this brand, they only have 2 products; now it got so many different type :faint:

But I guess the effectiveness depends on how long and how often you use...

And, I wonder why is it not selling in SG? Not approved by HSA? Even FDA has approved it many years ago already...
