Invisalign works pretty well, though. I'm pretty pleased it was "pushed" on me. I had some messed up teeth. 12 months of trays later and I my teeth are more or less in the right place now.

What bothers me is that it’s a commercial product that is pushed very hard and where dentists have a financial incentive in you getting the treatment they’re recommending.

It might work, but the conflict of interest is there and you’ll never know if there wasn’t a superior/cheaper/more suitable alternative.

Ditto Oral B toothbrushes. Or Pedigree Pal at vets.
