Hey all, havent been on this for a while. Well i'm into week 7 now and starting to see good progress. Only managing about 17hrs a day tho, still a no go at work unfortunatley. The speech doesnt bother me but with alot of public speaking i still get the odd tongue twisting moments with it in lol. I'v...

Hey green eyes, glad its going well. Im fascinated about this wax, what is it called? dentist never mentioned it before but heard people chat about it. Does it go on the palate part of the aligner? I'll hav to check out boots, my speech is still hilarious after 3 weeks lol.

Hey all, has anyone else had a bit of bother keeping the bit behind your front teeth up towards your palate? My dentist said the higher it sits the better, but for some reason mine sits pretty low. If i press it up it stays high but then slips a bit. Its not low enough that you can see it, but not f...

[quote="luckylou"]Hi guys I wondered what your thoughts were on the expander brace? I have this in alone, for the next ten weeks apparently, then move onto the Inman aligner for eight or so weeks. It is really bulky in the palate area and sits right behind my front teeth. Speech is pretty ...

Im just admiring your pics Jules. Looks really well!! Cant believe that was in 12 weeks, when some have fixed braces for years. Great job!! did the speech improve over the 12 weeks? Seems to be only slight concern at the minute because of job (teaching lol) as might have to take i.a out more than I ...

Hey Janie, you noticing any progress even this early? Seems to be a bit of a mixed bag, reading a few people saying that they seeing movement after few days and others months. Suppose we all different lol.

Hey all, stumbled across this when looking for reviews on IA. Glad I did!! Eventually decided to get them so il be picking your brains for assistance. Bit of a mixed start, got 3 teeth at front need moved quite a bit with alot of crowding and one tooth bit rotated. Expected a bit of filing and then ...
