My son, who is currently in high school, has orthodontic treatment with Invisalign.
Seeing the change in my son, I thought about getting braces again, but I gave up because of the high disadvantages: the risk of gum disease increases after 40s, braces can cause fatal injuries to teeth and bones, and the strong force applied makes it easier for teeth to fall out in the future.
I was not concerned about the disadvantages of orthodontics for health reasons, but for aesthetic reasons ⁇
I gave up on orthodontics and switched to stain treatment 🤣.

I highly recommend Dr. Steven Tottori who specializes in orthodontics.

I actually started out wanting to correct my teeth with Invisalign, but ended up with backside braces.
The custom-made backside orthodontic appliance called Incognito （ Incognito ） that I had is only available in Oahu from Dr. Steven Tottori.
Invisalign was not ideal for my case, so I decided to go with discreet backside braces.
Of course, Dr. Steven Tottori also offers Invisalign.

When I was looking for an orthodontist, I chose several from the list of orthodontists on Honolulu Magazine's Best Dentist and made appointments with a total of four doctors for consultations and compared their treatment plans.
The Best Dentist list in Honolulu Magazine seems to change every year, but Dr. Steven Tottori has been on the list for over 10 years （ ？ ）.
Most of the other teachers I quoted against were only ranked in the year I looked for them, and were off the list the year before or the year after.

Counseling with different doctors helps me understand what is wrong with my dentition, which doctors seem reliable, and how well they work with me.
Counseling is free, but some doctors charge for x-rays （ However, if you sign a contract afterwards, there was a discount ） from the orthodontic fee.
I also paid for x-rays for two of the four doctors because they charged for x-rays, but I wanted to be satisfied with the correction, so I have no regrets and I am glad that I was able to choose well until I was satisfied with the results.

I also think the location of the doctor's office is important, since you need to visit regularly.

Mr. T
Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is important to get advice from your family dentist first. I understand that even if you want to have Invisalign, you may need to choose a better method. I am looking forward to seeing your beautiful teeth when you start the treatment next month.

Thanks for your comment. I learned a lot about the disadvantages. If it is meant to be aesthetic, it is meaningless if it chips or falls out ！ ！ I would like to have a thorough consultation and seriously consider it until I am satisfied.

Thank you for your comment Dr. Steven Tottori, I will look into this as soon as possible. I would like to consider multiple counseling sessions to understand the best method for me and about compatibility. I thought it would be a good idea, but I would like to do some thorough preliminary research and consider treatment options.
