AMO Lubricating and Rewetting Drops Our Rating:

Here’s another necessity for contact lens users. Anyone with contact lenses will experience dry eyes eventually, and if youre at all like me, somewhat frequently. These rewetting drops from Advanced Medical Optics are an absolute dream for those dry itchy eyes. It’s like getting a new set of eyeballs. Just a couple drops, and it’s a whole new world. Don’t worry about taking out your contact lenses either – these are completely safe for all soft contact lenses. That’s the beauty of it, and the reason it earns five stars from us.

Opti-Free Express Contact Lens Solution Our Rating:

This is for all you contact lens wearers. This time we tested out some contact lens solution from Alcon. This is their Opti-Free Express formula, which is no-rub. This is especially great for those like me who don’t like to waste time rubbing your contacts clean in the morning. Just make sure you have them in the solution for at least 6 hours, and before putting them in your eyes again, just rinse them off. No hassling with rubbing the contact lenses and tearing them. You know what I’m talking about. This solution usually cleans your contacts just fine and leaves your eyes feeling fresh and sanitary, but there are still better cleaning systems available. However, for the price and ease of use, this one is sold!

Gillette Fusion Razor Our Rating:

You’ve seen the commercials. You might still be wondering, is this the best shave a man can get? We think so. Compared to the old generic brand 2-bladed razor, this thing is a dream. Sure, you may be thinking to yourself right now, isn’t 5 blades more than enough? While that may or may not be true, it does the job perfectly.

It gives you a nice, close shave, and with no effort at the same time. With the flexible comfort guard, it follows the curves on your face, and cuts precisely. Also, even after months of use, the blades are still sharp, and I am still without a scratch from the blades. It also features a single blade on the reverse side for precision trimming, which is handy for tough cuts or for shaping your facial hair. So if you’re sick and tired of your old razor cutting you up and leaving you scruffy, pick one of these up.

Invisalign Braces Our Rating:

Invisalign braces are amazing, to put it short. Some might be skeptical, because they vary from traditional braces, but after using them, there is no reason to ever use anything else. This is coming from me, who after only 42 weeks, went from a terrible smile to a wonderful smile.

Before

After

Look at the change! And if you are curious, I am actually wearing the braces in both of these pictures. They are also hardly noticeable. They fit in your mouth comfortably, and are hardly visible, as the name suggests. The system works by first going to a certified dentist or orthodontist to start the program. They take a model of your teeth and send it to Invisalign, who then sends back a 3-D model of your teeth, and an animated projection of how your teeth will move and will finish. Then, after confirming that it looks good, they make many trays for your teeth. The system works by using new trays every 2 weeks, and each new tray is sightly more tweaked than the last to move your teeth gradually into the final position.

What really makes these great is the fact that you can take them out. They are just hard plastic trays that attach to your teeth via small buttons placed on your teeth, made out of the substance of a filling (these are taken off after the service is complete). This makes everything a ton easier. You never have to watch about eating anything because before you eat, you take them out. This makes them easy to clean too. This is also nice, because you brush your teeth normally, so you don’t have any funny looking stains after wearing them.

Another wonderful aspect of these braces, aside from the looks, the ease of cleaning, and no hassles with eating is that they work fast, and I mean FAST. You can see from the pictures that my teeth needed a ton of work. Regular braces would have taken years to fix that, but these took less than 10 months! They correct underbites, overbites, spaced teeth, crowded teeth, the whole deal really.

Now is the big question. I’m sure you are expecting that these things cost a fortune. Well this is the best part of all – they cost the same as normal braces. In some cases, they can even cost less. After comparing the two, there is absolutely no reason not to use these. They work faster, are easier to maintain, easy to eat, hardly noticeable, and are affordable. Try these out if you are considering braces, you will be glad you did – I sure am.
