That could buy me a paint job, or an engine, or another motorcycle, or some other one-time deal.
$3K for invisalign crap for my teeth, basically clear plastic that you wear over your teeth to help move them. Along with all the other hassles of brushing and removing them and probably having to wear a retainer a few days a week for life. Parents gave me the choice to do braces or not when I was about 10. And of course I said no, what 10 yr old wouldn't? Now I'm payin' for it. Without insurance it's $4700. But considering I hadn't been to the dentist in maybe 12 years, I probably saved enough there to pay for this. My teeth are so crooked I can clench them shut and still drink through a straw... |

So you have some gaps in the grille, eh? Think of it like getting some body work done. If you ever want to win "Best In Show" you have to have all the parts. Nice detailing too.

Take care of your teeth!!! People do not think about teeth until there is a problem. A paint job can come anytime!

If you can afford it, it's an excellent investment. My dad's 87 and still has all of his teeth because he's always taken care of them.

I just dumped in $3k on a pair of root canals and crowns.
I checked on invisalign after that - $5k. Where did you find $3k??? Chain clinic? Mine sure ain't so bad. |

I'd go for it. If it makes you feel better about yourself it's well worth it. Small cosmetic changes can make a big difference (thought about breast implants?)

It's a good investment.
As you advance in any professional career, your look becomes even more important. When you are 40 with bad teeth, people will be more inclined to dismiss you based on appearance. This is so true with high end Europeans. Seriously. Joke all you want about English dental work, but at the high end professionals are all about the look. |

You could ride your crotchrocket by yourself and still appear you had a chick on the back. Think of all the gas youd save.
Brilliant idea if I do say do myself. |
