Invisalign

[m0tbaillie]

I had twelve porcelain veneers done by a cosmetic dentist in LA, I had his board certification copied for my records. Navy dental did x-rays and inspection following the procedure. They looked for weak bonding and exposed dentin.

Did Tricare cover that, or would you mind PMing me approx. what you paid to get those done?

Most of my teeth are fake, so I can't get teeth whitening

All cosmetic stuff was out of pocket.

Navy dentists are actually very good. I believe their professional standards are very high.

When you say most your teeth are fake, what do you mean?

There are alot of options.

My girlfriend is a dentist in 'naptown......invisalign is her gravytrain...

I just perfected the art of never showing teeth. Ever.

I've been wearing Invisalign for almost four months now to take care of some minor adjustments. I've been very happy with the results. It's not that visible, but your speech will be affected a bit until you get used to talking with it. I always take it out before I brief or fly. I may leave it in for certain meetings. Some people may notice, but you'll have to get over it. The more you wear it, the quicker you'll be done with it.

I agree. I found a great Navy dentist who used me as his Invisalign "test case". I'm very happy with the results. It's well worth the effort.

Best Regards,
Waldo

I mean I have had almost every type of dental work done in my mouth known to man. I've got half a dozen root canals, a dozen or so fillings. Crowns, partials. You name it. I was always under the impression that if it wasn't enamel or "natural" tooth, it wouldn't dye/bleech.

OU, you never fail to provide some kind of pictoral analogy.

it just wouldn't be the same... you can never go wrong with a picture of a He-Man villain

Like Waldo, I found a Navy dentist that used me as his invisaline guinea pig. My teeth are straight, no one noticed I wore the retainer-type thing because I took it out while briefing, etc, and it is nice to eat and not get stuff stuck in your teeth. Overall, well worth the effort. Good luck with everything.

Oh c'mon, at LEAST pick a cool villain...well, sorta.

WTF do you brush your teeth with?? George Carlin's "Chopper sheen"??

"Wow Laslow! Timmy had only 7 extractions today at the dentist! It must have been that Chopper Sheen he's been using!"

Chopper Sheen: Now removes enamel, pulp, dentin AND gums!

 

[LazersGoPEWPEW]

So would it be cosmetic to have two teeth put in if I never had them in the first place? I'm talking up front teeth that make it hard to eat spaghetti and other things that require cutting.

Dude, Trap-Jaw is way cooler than just "Jaws"
