    Default Braces?

    Hey everyone!
    I've been able to supplement my income with my new job
    I want a perfect smile, nose, and boobies, in that order.
    So......... I am going to need either braces or Invisalign. I'm leaning towards Invisalign because I'm thinking braces might not look too hot on a stripper?
    Have any of you worked while having braces on your teeth? What do you guys think about having braces while dancing?
    I think if I was younger looking and did the whole pony tails and school girl outfit often it would be fine. But, that really isn't my look, I don't look like a teenager anymore.
    I've always wanted to have actual braces because I am so embarrassed about my teeth, and I feel like having mouth full of metal tells people I'm at least doing something to fix it. With Invisalign you wouldn't really be able to tell. I know it sounds silly but I've been thinking about this for so long and with my job in the military I became even more self-conscious about it because I had to stand up and brief people every day and I always worried about it.

    Oddly, I got braces after I quit dancing full time but I got the clear braces. My orth told me he didn't recommend invisalign for me so instead I got clear. I wore them 3 years and you could barely see them.

    I had the "clear braces" also when I was in high school/freshman year or college. They are porcelain brackets, which match the color of your teeth. The problem is the "clear" or porcelain colored rubber bands that they put on the brackets end up discolored within a couple of days, making your teeth look dingy or yellowish from afar.

    I'd go invisalign IF your ortho recommends it. If your teeth are really crooked or there are major issues, you may have no choice but to get braces. AND if you must get them, I'd recommend the porcelain...

    I'd rather have yellowish looking teeth than a mouth full of metal as a grown woman, you know?

    There's a dancer at my club who has metal braces. It's not so bad, she does pretty well. I've never heard anyone talk about them, customer or dancer. She even has a few guys who come in just for her. She's a REALLY good stage dancer-IDK if that has anything to do with it, and is also very well put together.

    I'd try for clear or invasilign if you can, even so.

    Being in the dental field… I know Invisalign can do wonders. But it's not always recommended. A lot of ortho's look at your personality and commitment to wear them as directed. A lot of times, patients want them, but don;t wear them as often as necessary because of their life style.
    They CAN and DO have a very good effect on your teeth. But are expensive.

    Ive also had braces but when I was under 18 and as much as they changed my life and I recommend teeth makeovers to everyone... I dont know if I could to the braces thing over 20. Its a huge commitment and it majorly effects your confidence while you have them. I would go for invisalign if its a possibility. If not go for the clear braces. 2-3 years with junk on your teeth is a long time in any line of work as an adult.

    Any work U can do NOW, is best. Its better to get it down while your young/can afford it, rather than wait until your older and can't tolerate so much, and your teeth fall out…

    I'm getting Invisalign. Thanks everyone for your input. I just spent over a thousand this week on a root canal and having old fillings (they were grey thanks to cheap military dental work) replaced in white . I go in next week for my consult for Invisalign.

    I have Invisalign and love it!! No pain whatsoever, the only downside is every time you take them out to eat something you have to brush/floss before you put them back in. It does prevent me from snacking too much though.. They're almost completely invisible. I can see when I have them in, but others usually don't. I've only had one guy at work so far say something, he only noticed because he had braces too. Then he bought some dances

    I used to work as a dental assistant and was getting into orthodontics. It depends on what the problem you want to correct is. Invisalign wont be as effective if your teeth are rotated or crowded because there isnt enough force alot of the times. There are braces called linguals that go on the back of your teeth, they are more expensive and they might hurt your tongue, I guess people might get used to that. If you are a candidate for invisalign and will wear it all day then I would go with that. I have seen it work wonders on people and it actually works really fast too.

    I think its important to get your teeth straightened though, people dont realize it has an effect on the symmetry

    I agree that taking care of your teeth is super important. I want to have a rhinoplasty done as well but I think having my teeth fixed is much more urgent. There is a girl at my club who is very pretty and has a boob job and some other work but horrible teeth. It makes me wonder why she would spend so much on other stuff but not worry about her teeth. She looks great but when she smiles or talks she looks like a donkey because all her teeth angle out. Different people have different priorities is probably the answer to that.

    Although I want invisalign if I end up being told braces is a better option for me (I do have crowding) I will go with braces. I'm going to do whats best for me long term rather than what works for a part time thing (dancing).

    A girl I work with recently got braces. Since getting them she has seen a huge increase in income at work--customers LOVE it.

    definitely get anything to straighten things out now. bones get hard as we age, and so that makes them harder to move which requires you to wear them alot long.

    I work with a girl who has braces and it takes every ounce of my self control not to just fucking pounce on her because they're soooooo hot. (Even though without them she wouldn't be my type.)

    Some people have a srs fetish for braces. LOL
    That's all I have to say about it.
