Waspen - I also think it's important to consider whether your teeth are tracking along with the trays. If the tooth that is protruding is exactly where the aligner says it should be, then just give it time... the final aligner should look like the 'finished product' - in between now and then, as lon...

those teeth look perfect to me!

Thank you guys so much - I feel better now! and as you said, it gets less noticeable each day.

The problem is - with the way the trays fit my back teeth, it forces my bite to stay 'open' - my front teeth cannot touch at all - is this normal?

I have just received my first set of trays today. I am unsure about the fit.

Ok, well, I found out the answer myself so I'll post it here for anyone wondering. Yes, it is possible to move (don't know if it works for every country, but it does UK to US). Before I leave, I will need to find an ortho in the US willing to take me as a patient. There are then forms provided by In...

My issue is that although I want to get started ASAP, I am planning a move from the UK to the US at the end of this year. Will it be possible to start the treatment here in the UK? Do you get all of your a...
