NWR-Has anyone used Invisalign--the clear braces?

Just wondering...I had braces for 3 & 1/2 years (after having 22 yes 22 *four permament* teeth pulled between the ages of 6 and 12 & oral surgery to help one tooth come down after the baby one was pulled--my teeth and roots were too big for my mouth) and three of my wisdon teeth started coming in about 3 years ago. IOf course after all I have had done to my teeth, I am a dentist phobe and didn't want to get them taken out. They didn't (and still don't) hurt at all, but they have shifted my bottom teeth. Now I feel like they are beginning to shift my top teeth because the bottom ones are hitting them. I am freaking out and so mad at myself that I let it get this far. Anyway, I am gong to have the wisdon teeth pulled in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone knows of a good orthodontist that uses those new clear braces Invisalign (you know, the Tom Cruise ones?? ). I have found some names but would really like a referral. I don't want to go to my adolescent orthodondist, he geives me night mares till this day!!! Any help is appreciated! I figured even if I still have to wear them through and after my wedding in July, I can actually remove them FOR my wedding an pictures and stuff. Sorry this is so long...I am really getting worried about this!!
P.S.--I hope no one has this horrible picture of how my teeth look--my smile is still nice and straight fo rthe most part and looks good in pics. but I don't want it to get worse.
Thanks foryour replies in advance! I posted on the NWR board also...

I had a GREAT orthodontist quite a few years back, and I had the clear braces, now if I could only remember his name, also b/c I need some ortho work too. I'll get the infor for you. . . give me a little bit of time.
Oh, wait I should say he was in downtown BKLYN, by the water. That may be too far for you, let me know if you still want the info.

I looked into it but it was so expensive. Instead, I opted to get a retainer. I am supposed to wear it all the time but I usually just wear it to bed. It has already worked wonders!
