3 years! His teeth are still fucked up. Notice how some are recessed back on his upper row? He could have gotten real braces and been done in 2 years for about the same cost.

I think invisalign should pay him to shut the fuck up.
Invisalign are clear, not white. And fees are totally dependent on how long they anticipate you'll need them. I know someone who paid $4300.
My God, he really took those out and showed us his spit??

Regular braces cost about $5,000 plus or minus a few hundred. They would have fixed his problems faster and probably at less cost.
less known fact: you can grind teeth without anesthesia if you are carful, ie to avoid bite occlusion (though polishing should be done (obviously no need of anesthesia))
well known fact: dental glue, paint, and ceramics cost too much
there are no nerves top side. or is it downside ? i'm getting grays
i had a dentist i was paying cash intentionally gouge my teeth with a sharp pick tool - and i'd only talked pleasant talk to. marks still visible. said it was "cleaning"
to those of you that don't know that's a great way to cause carries (decay) by giving bacteria a hard to clean, unpolished, path to quickly drill a small hole toward the root (pulp)
i think it was racial, i think she was trying to do damage she could later "fix"
i then had a hindu refuse to replace a filling demanding i do a $2,000 root canal
but tooth is still good, the root still has blood and has sensation years later
i think he was lying doctor who never took the hypocratic oath
-----------------------------
i later find out that this guy does free work for fx. co. employees on a "contract"
he got a VA grant to start a practice though not a citizen (oh how many medical students would be angry to hear f'ing foreigners got a practice under the table !!! )
he and others who got free VA equipment are supposed to help the poor
THEY DO NOT.
and the S.S. dept claims no one does and it's $50 (for any who can count that high: that's the street price for cleaning. it's retail price)
-----------------------------
thanks again bulova. i'm still suing
so i go in this place tearing in pain after weeks (they had scheduled cleaning to do), at time had not studied why i was in so much pain.
------------------------
puts in filling that fell out. but doesn't clean at all. it fell back out in 3 days for obvious reasons: glue even dental glue doesn't hold on uncleaned surfaces !!!
------------------------
the assistants runing the MANDATORY yearly x-ray (though i said i'd just had one they said ok we'll get it: when i got there they said they didn't know what i was talking about and i must)
the assistants were recent graduates of gov loan dental school: annandale and they spoke pretty good english and were obviously in love. or were they really graduates?
----------------------
so next day i there's a strange soar exactly opposite of the x-ray target. flaking skin
i look at pictures of radiation burns, the milirads, and i think: damn it that's why i have that weird burn in my mouth exactly laser pointer opposite of the direction of the xray. took days to heal. ouch.
i call the dentist to warn them they might want to calibrate their x-ray it might be having problems
but the secretary, who knows everything about x-ray tubes and such, immediately told me there couldn't have been a problem
on a similar note: fx. hires only foreigners and DC people at x-ray screenining station at the courthouse. exactly who will do anything they are told however facist the command
you heard on teh news about usa development of airport scanners ?
well CHECK ALI BABA baby
they are all from china
they run so hot coolers are needed
and the dosage? one might say it could be "a cover up"
there's a conspiracy theory for you
if it's hot enough it needs coolign: it could well poison you. that's a scientific fact
