I went to Dr. McFarlane on a recommendation from a colleague and honestly could not be happier with how my treatment went. His Team is wonderful, Shelley is efficient and professional, Paula is a wonderful hygienist and Invisalign planner. She and Shelley walked me through the entire Invisalign process.. All information was sent to Dr. McFarlane and a comprehensive report was returned (this was part of the consultation). I had another consultation at another place and was thoroughly disappointed it was a hour of them talking, no pictures, no history, no imaging taken, nothing,
I just had my last visit with Dr. McFarlane and the Invisalign's were absolutely BRILLIANT.. I get compliments on my teeth all the time now, I have no issues with eating anything at all, my bite is perfect.
Advantage to Invisalign's you can use your retainers to bleach your teeth.
The only negative I would have to say about Invisalign treatment is it is a commitment, you have to wear your retainers, you have remove your retainers when you want to eat, you have to clean your retainers, its not for everyone, however I think the end result in comparison to friends who had braces is much better.
