Hi Haven't posted on this site for a while now but i am just 3 days away from being de-braced and just wondered if there were any others out there who have shared my mixed Invisalign/fixed brace experience? I was sentenced to 40 uppers and 17 lower aligners with Invisalign with 3 prominent buttons o...

So thought i would just update on my happenings, just had an appointment this morning and it looks like this is the end of the road for Invisalign for me :( My lateral incisor just will not move and the attachment on that tooth hasn't fitted into any of my refinement aligners bar the first one. So i...

I think its good us 'experienced' Invisalign users can all comment on how treatment is going as most of the posts on here are from new users. I too am getting a little discouraged as i went to the dentist this week to pick up the final batch of my refinement aligners and when i moved into the 5U set...

Hi I looked at your Clincheck and our cases do seem to be v similar in the movement required, do you know yet how many extra aligners you will need? and approx how long they take to come? the same as in the beginning? i think i will see these aligners out until my next appointment in Jan with the de...

Hi Thanks for posting some help. Unfortunately I don't have my Clincheck to check the position this tooth should be in. It seems to me that because the tooth only sits 3/4 of the way down the aligner that it doesnt matter if it doesn't quite line up in a way cos there is more space for it to tilt at...

Hi Just wondered if anyone could give me any advice on my treatment. I have been undergoing treatment since Nov last year and have 40 sets for my upper teeth. The crowding is just on the right side of my upper arch and involves the front tooth, the canine and the one in between (apologies for not kn...
