I recently saw advertised a web-site for teeth straighteners - my daughter who is 14 years old has to have braces but I was wondering if anyone has
used this teeth straightening system. The site address is www.invisalign.com
I don't know if there are any Dentist here in the DR that is doing this ?

I would much prefer her to have this system if it works.

My sons best friends dad is a good dentist here in Puerto Plata, very much visited by people from abroad as well.
They live across the street. I will pop by and ask him tomorrow about your
posting, hopefully he would know.
I?ll keep you posted about his reply.

Although I don't have any firsthand experience, it is my understanding that this process is mainly for adults. The cost in the US is about the same, if not more than braces. One drawback for kids may be the tendency is to take them out when they are not comfortable, which will make the process less effective.

Hi, I went over to the dentist and asked about this method.
I also showed him the website.
This is something that to his knowledge is not practiced in DR.
He also, after reading got very interested in the method though and will contact the owners of the website for more information.
He also said it is something, by just reading the information on the website, he don?t think is for children. He added he would need more information from them to be sure.
