I did it and was pleased with it. I've always had a front tooth gap despite surgery and braces as a kid. Not wearing my retainer after braces didn't help.
My dentist had been telling me for years I needed to wear a mouth guard at night to protect against my night teeth grinding. At 43 years old she finally convinced me by showing me what I would look like as an old man with ground down teeth.
So I decided if I was going to wear a mouth guard for the rest of my life, I might as well go all the way and do Invisilign. For $5000 I had 14 upper and 7 lower aligners to get my teeth straight.
I did have to get a permanent front retainer after Invisilign behind my front 4 teeth. It was a few hundred dollars from an orthodontist and my mouth guard was adjusted to clear it.
