You mentioned Invisalign; I finished 18 months with them earlier this year. I was 38 when I started.

I played with the braces fitted (for anyone who doesn't know: they're removable plastic things), and found at the time that the inconsistent feeling of playing without them had a negative effect. It wasn't feasible to play as much as I wanted to without them because you need to wear them for 20+ hours every day, and you have to remove them to eat.

Did they hold me back in any way? Can't say they did - I made an effort to improve my playing at the time, and succeeded. I believe straighter teeth, especially my lower front teeth, helps.

I should add: It did take a couple of weeks to get accustomed to playing with the braces fitted. It *is* a different feeling.
