Subject: Re: Invisalign advertising to teens Author: Garizona [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:11:20 07/05/04 Mon In reply to: Ray 's message, "Invisalign advertising to teens" on 16:33:45 07/05/04 Mon When I was considering Invisalign a few weeks ago, I got them to send me their 10-minute promotional/informational video. The narrator talks people who avoid smiling because they don't like how their teeth look, then says something like, "And metal braces are just another reason to hide your smile." Seemed like kind of a slap in the face to people who choose to (or have to) get conventional braces, and I found myself being offended on behalf of all the people on this site who've posted pics of themselves with terrific metallic smiles. I suppose their marketing people have a job to to, and part of that job is to emphasize the advantage of their product over others, but geez!. Maybe the ADA ought to smack them around a little bit, especially when they start to target teens, who are especially vulnerable when it comes to appearance and peer pressure.
