Picking up on the teeth-chat @stevo_com, I've done 15 weeks/sets of Invisilign, and now have another 6 weeks/sets to get the more wayward pegs into final position. Been dead straight-forward, relatively low intervention, and quite interesting seeing the tech. Being flown around a 3D render of your teeth, the 3D printing, and even the adhesive bits are all novel to me, so appears relatively good value in the grand scheme of things.
No idea how severe/structural things are for you, but ask around, get some recommendations, and it's worth going for an evaluation for suitability. Mine were crooked and quite mis-aligned, some really recessed, and I've been impressed how much they shifted in a relatively short space of time, plus the level of service through Invisilign - and as @inchpincher said they have payment plans. You do have to wear a retainer after the aligners are done, but the type/duration depends on how 'fluid' your teeth end up at the end of the re-alignment. No idea what mine will be, but I'm game for it all. I've been going somewhere in Catford, more than happy to pass on info if helpful.
best,
Chop, age 45.
