can you say more about the patients with osteoporosis? that sounds reassuring. i'm in my mid-40s and had some tricky bone problems (osteoblasts in feet, surgery, grew back) and osteoporosis of the pelvis. i thought acceledent would be one extreme or the other, either be wonderful or contraindicated.

however, the most effective tool is the one you'll actually use. :)

I am about to start Invisalign, and I asked my friend who also did it in her 40s. She described the initial pain like early child labor and forget tylenol, she used narcotic painkillers the first night. So anything less than that, I'll be happy.

46. never had orthodontia before. I had teeth shift + middle age onset of gum health terror.

Does anyone (patients and orthos) have any user experience and insight to compare the two versions? I'm very curious.
