Am waiting on my refinements and I had my retainer out for the whole day recently because of a family party and fell asleep without putting it back in. When I woke up the next day you could visibly see the regression in my teeth. One tooth was moving back towards its original position. I was surpris...

that's a very good point if you have attachments on your front teeth then you may as well get normal braces and save alot of money am waiting on my refinements and I've got a feeling that I'll have to have some attachments on the front teeth. Not looking forward to it. With my original plan they wer...

If am not going out about 20-21 hours


Of a weekend if I go out I might wear them for 16 hours

If there's no chance of getting any money back then I think the decision has been made for you £4000 ish? is a lot of money. I still go out and enjoy myself with mine. I just take them out when i go out. Up to six hours sometimes. The y haven't really hampered me at all. Not one person has noticed m...

I got my lower attachments put on, then had a break for eight weeks for my top. In between I paid my bill in full. came back eight weeks later, he put my top attachments on, and said see you in 20 weeks when your done :roll: Like printing money for the dentists! Am over the moon how there progressin...

got top and bottom trays in now on tray 5 there getting tighter and tighter now, can feel them gripping my teeth! Increased level of discomfort but still not really bad. Can see clear changes now though and feel more and more confident with every change of tray. Feeling very happy and am very please...

yea think I'll be able to compromise and use the disabled toilet to brush my teeth


its like a palace compared to the normal mens toilet

had them in for 5 days now I deffo feel more confident with them in than out. Dont mind them at all, the only problem is when people are saying lets go for lunch etc, and you cant because of the hassle. I don't even like using public toilets to have a wee in, let alone start using them to brush my t...

day 2 - and I have to say, am finding it very easy so far Think there's too many horror stories on the internet about invisalign. The research I did I was expecting hell am am pleasantly surprised There isn't any real pain, it's more of a discomfort, at worst. The hardest part for me is not being ab...

Just got back form the dentist got my invisalign fitted Only did the bottom today, my top trays don't start till tray 5 so am made up with that, also he didn't shave the sides of my teeth, which I was worried about, so am happy. It feels a bit weird, tingly I would say, but in a nice way! Maybe the ...

what do they say? am getting my invisalign tomorrow am nervous to death to be honest. Need to get a grip, just hope it all works fine. I have a slight overbite, but that doesn't really bother me. On my bottom teeth my middle tooth has grown upwards and backwards and its very annoying - hopefully thi...

what do you think people think when there talking to you? I've not always had bad teeth, they've slipped as ive got older and now look terrible. When I talk to people I can see them starring at my teeth and it proper does my head in Wonder if people mention it when your not there, what do you reckon?
