Has anyone on here tried #Invisalign as an adult?

At my recent #dentist visit they showed me where I'm having some substantial wearing and suggested this as a way to correct.

Wondering if it's up to snuff or if adult #Orthodontic might be more in order

@pixelpusher220 i’m using it now- I’m old. It was something I wanted to do. I tend to grind my teeth. This has given me space between my teeth and helped with that.

@damkina yeah that's my impetus as well. new fangled 3d scan of my teeth pointed out edges of my bottom 2 front teeth are wearing against my upper fronts.

The whole, drink nothing but water with them in is another sticking point...lol

may talk to an orthodontic as I'm not sure it's my teeth as much as my jaw seems to be more forward. In which case I worry the invisalign might just mask it for a while.

Thx!

@pixelpusher220 I take mine out every time I drink dark liquids. It’s fine. Watch for rough edges on the appliance. It will tear your mouth up when you first start, unless you can convince them to give you orthodontic wax.
