hi nicesmile! Thanks for the warm welcome! The plunge hasn't been too bad yet. I have no teeth pain...but am expecting some with tray 2. If i could get out of this like I am right now (no pain) i would be extremely happy! I had a pokey edge that was pushing up the gum on my rear molar...it caused w...

Klo, If everything goes EXACTLY as planned, yes, that is my 'freedom' date. I have 23 trays top and bottom. I am to wear each tray for 2 weeks. In 7-8 months, if its not looking like i'll finish on time, I'm going to opt to finish the process out with Damon's for a month or two. So far, I just have...

I'll make you a deal, Klo...you don't 'drop off of the forum', and neither will I!

Can't wait to get where you are...I had a huge panic attack last night :( Always questioning whether or not I'm doing the right thing...I hope my dentist's recommendation was genuine and not just padding the pockets of his orthodontist friend! (...this would be the anxiety potion of the program). Ch...

ok...so got tray 1 & 2 of my Invisalign today. Got 5 attachments on top and 6 on the bottom. I had to have 2 of the bottom attachments put on 3 times...they wouldn't stay on! That was an experience...the hygienist used a pair of pliers to pull the attachment template tray off each time. A huge ...

Hi all! My Invisalign impressions were taken 9/6/11. I'm getting my first tray on 9/26/11. I have no idea how many trays or duration of my treatment, yet...more on Monday. However, here are my before pics: IMAG0138-1.jpg IMAG0135-1.jpg I will photo-journal my progress in the forum 'Our Braces Storie...

As promised, before pics: IMAG0138-1.jpg IMAG0135-1.jpg My impressions were taken on 9/6/11 and I'll receive my first aligner on 9/26/11 (yeah...that was quick!). I do not yet know how many aligners, attachments, or treatment duration...I will follow-up on that info on Monday. I've already purchase...

whoop, whoop! Yay, Klo!!!!

Klo, Don't let one *&%$#@? ruin your good time here. Just put that person on the 'foe' list. Very easy to do. Almost all of us are here for support and encouragement! I think we all learn from each others experiences and that's what makes the website and the entire process a success! Be strong,...

Lots of great progress in a short time...way to go Klo!

I really appreciate everyone's honesty and experiences with regards to 'being braced'. No one really scared me away from braces....I originally intended to get the Invisalign back in November 2010. It was my orthodontist that made me think twice. I just think my orthodontist prefers Damon's because ...
