I’m wondering if I’m a candidate for Invisalign. My coworkers and I are planning this “New Year, New You” contest, and we’re all chipping $100 bucks into a pot. The person who has the most dramatic transformation over the year keeps it all. There at least 15 of us doing it so far, so the windfall could be huge. Granted, the money isn’t the only reason I’m entering. I really want to focus on self-improvement this year anyway. I’ve been carrying around 50 extra pounds since my son was born… ummm…. That was five years ago now. I’ve already got my fitness boot camp pre-paid (eek!), so that’s good to go. And, I’m looking for other ways to improve how I look and feel. I don’t want surgery of any kind. The only other thing I can think of is to get my teeth worked on. I had braces done when I was a teen, and since then, my teeth have drifted a bit. I’m also a mega coffee drinker, so maybe teeth whitening too? Anyway, will the Invisalign work on me within a year, or would I have to resort to more… uh… drastic measures?
Thanks!

Dear Meghan,
That sounds incredibly exciting! Invisalign is a great choice for adults because it allows you to correct your smile quickly, and without all those wires and metal brackets you probably wore the first time around. It works well for most people, and because you’ve already had braces once, you’re probably a perfect candidate for this.
