You will eventually get used to it, I didn't have as much of a problem adjusting to my Invisalign at first because I had a huge expander for my upper arch for 5 months before I got my Invisalign going so it was just nice not to have to deal with that thing anymore. You'll get the hang of it though. ...

When did your ortho tell you to switch? You should really just stick to that plan. However, I had an instance once where my tray was cracked and was told if it cracked any more I could move on to the next tray before it had been the full two weeks. But lilypad is right, for all the money it's costin...

I recently had this problem with two of the attachments on my upper tray. I noticed it as soon as I put the tray in (and happened to be at the ortho at the time) and we scheduled an appt for a week later to see if the tray eventually moved to fit the attachments.

Through my insurance I can set aside up to $3000 of my pre-tax income per year into a Flexible Spending Account and I can use that money for almost anything medical related. So basically every year I can get $300...

I would recommend going to every provider covered by your insurance that does Invisalign. Everyone on my insurance did free consultations so I took a couple months and saw them all, and after that it was soooo easy to tell which the best one was, even though it wasn't the cheapest. :o

I use the RetainerBrite tablets in the sonic cleaner for 10 minutes every morning. The sonic cleaner sounded cool when I got it but I don't think it has that much of an effect really since I have to do a few seconds of brushing under water to completely clean off the white stuff when it's done soaki...

My whole treatment is $7650 and I'm in St. Louis, MO and have the #1 provider in a region several states big. That price includes 41 uppers and 25 lowers, 2...
