Hey hang in there - it will get better. I have certainly posted my fair share of posts ...am i going to pull a tooth out?? it is ever gonna get easy ???etc...but honestly it goes by so quick. I had mine for 3 plus years ans still cant believe Im done. Really, As far as taking them out try gripping t...

I know how you feel - I had more attachments during my 4 months of refinement than during my whole 3 years of treatment...my suggestion would be to stick it out until the end - you'll be so happy you did - and who knows maybe your ortho cuts you refinement treatment short like mine did, hang it ther...

Lilypad - Yes it is great to done however I still get the urge to brush my teeth 4+ times a day :lol: My retainers are essix (I believe so anyways) they are just like the aligners minus the invisalign stamp and number. My dentist said they should last me quite awhile since I am not a grinder. They a...

Thanks everyone for your kind comments - its still hard for me to believe that those are pics of my teeth

Got my retainers today and they fit like a glove!

I bounced between 2 and 3 weeks during the course of my treatment - it really depended on how my aligners fit and my densist was typically one to make the call although he always told me that if they stil felt too tight after 2 weeks wear them longer. As you go on you'll get to know when your ready ...

I paid $5200.00 - 52 upper and 12 lower plus 2 refinements (only made it half wat through 1 ) and retainers for upper and lower. Worth every penny.

Today I have offically ended my 3+ years on invisalign treatment!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I endured my last set of mold and the speedbumps are gone. I really am thrilled with the results - my teeth are better than I could have imagined. Thank you to everyone that has put in their 2 cents or lent ...

Im with you Lilypad - I officaly finished today and I cant stop smiling at myself ( yeah Im a dork - I know :lol: ). When I look back I cant believe how much they changed. I'm gonna post pics soon. Back on topic - I had an extreme case and some people may argue that my teeth are prefect but im happy...

So I went back yesterday for ro...

So after 3+ years I have finally completed my 12 lower and 55 upper trays. :D I am definately pleased with the results but figure Ive been at it so long and paid big $$$ to get this done, why not try to tweak those last few things that I notice ( a space here, a tooth tipped a tinybit there ect..). ...
