I has 29 upper trays and 13 lower trays so I wore the lower tray 13 for an additional 16+ weeks until I was finished on top (1 week schedule) and now I'm still using the tray 13 and upper 29 as retainers and have been for 6 weeks now. both trays are still quite clean and fresh, I never let them get ...

I didnt like swimming with them in on holiday - esp in the salt water, the water gets in to the trays and satses yucky, usually you'd spit the salt water out but with the trays was impossible to do. Guess pool water isnt so horrid. At the waterpark I never wore them either though just incase as I kn...

that sounds fab, can you geth them in th UK tho? I found a perfect wee kit in M&S for travel / keeping in my handbag, it has a tube of past, toothbrush & tooth picks and floss sticks, its great and when I forget my aligner tub to take the trays out in, the lid fits & keeps them perfectly...

aww, thats good, glad the date went well. I've actually grown to love my trays more over the last week or so when somone said i have lovely sparkly white teeth....they never knew the shiny-ness was the trays lol

I'd wait and see how you feel about this person your going on a date with before disussing anything, if you tell him you've got braces he'll be more inclined to look for them otherwise he'll prob not notice at all. My boyfriend never even noticed i'd the trays in, even after kissing him - it was the...

You're paying a lot of money for this, i'd question yourself why you're leaving them out for so long , i presume you want nice teeth at the end? you're supposed to wear the trays for about 20+ hours for a reason, to allow the bones to settle round the movement of the teeth, what your doing might cau...

I didn't have the most supportive partner on the lead up to getting the aligners fitted he was very agains me having "train tracks". The night I came home from the ortho I went to the loo before dinner - said I was washing my hands, after the meal was over sat a while then went back to the...

I'd change your trays after your evening meal and brushing etc, that way they're in a few hours so you'll know if you need a pain killer to be able to get a sleep. If you wait till bedtime to change trays and there is pain it'll wake you in the night and thats not good getting up out of a cozy bed t...

i've wondered this too, i've 29 upper and 13 lower. I'm not going for invisalign refinments so i hope i dont get stuck in tracks when the bottom trays are finished until the top catches up..eek!!! I've just this min thought of this...i'll have to ask next time i see Mr Ortho.

I never wanted my bottom done as it was £500 more to do both but my ortho explained my bite might change so i've gone ahead with top and bottom. i'm closing a gap that never used to bother me at the bottom and i'm glad i'm glad i made the decision to do both now, the final clincheck movie looks gre...

Try this wait out for torture...... I went for first ortho exam on 15th August 2008, x rays, study moulds taken, then 26th September went for the invisalign moulds. 29th NOVEMBER!!! for the clin check and got my first set of trays on 10th January. I have 29 trays top and 13 bottom so just over a yea...

Hiya, i've just joined this forum and Ems I'm in a similar situation to you, I've been waiting on getting started since August and am finally going to view my clin check on saturday with the hope the aligners will be 2 weeks later. Reading the forums of patients in the USA where treatment times seem...
