Hi there! I had to have a tooth pulled in order to make room for my teeth to move properly so I also had to have a fake tooth put in my trays. I was very worried with how it would look since the tooth that was pulled was my third tooth from the center. But it ended up looking very natural and now th...

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear about your painful situation. I'm on my 8th tray now and I'm sure you've heard this but it will get better. When I first got them I had anxiety about the fact that I was locked into something for 2 years. They were painful and gave me bad canker sores. Not to mention the ...

Okay so I just put in my third set of trays about 5 min ago and this is my first set of take home trays. Which means I don't have a ortho to ask about questions, fit, etc. so everything seems to fit fine except my second tooth in on the top right. The tray doesn't go all the way to the gum line like...

They have always bothered me. My original ortho, back when I had traditional braces, said they couldn't be fixed because my teeth are really rounded at the gun line so they will never close the gaps. Or if they did close the gaps by pushing the top of my teeth together then the bottom of my teeth wo...

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear your having trouble. This might seem silly to ask but when you say recession you mean your gums moving up and black triangles are the gaps in between the teeth due to recession right? Anywho I also have black triangles In between my four front teeth but I've always had th...

Thank you guys for your sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it! I don't have anymore pain except for a canker sore and it's become easier to maneuver my trays with my buttons.

It's day 2 on my second set of trays and I have a terrible canker sore!!! At first yesterday when I noticed the pain it almost seemed as if I bit my cheek slightly, which I could see happening since the aligners make me grind my teeth, but today it was a full blown canker sore. And not one but TWO r...

Today I went to have my buttons put on and received my next four sets of trays. I was really surprised to have 13 buttons put on. Does that seem like a lot? I also learned I will have 40 upper and lower trays. I thought by my second set of trays I would be use to the achy pain, but this time has bee...

Hi there!

I'm new to Invisalign and this site as well and I'm on day 2 with my first trays. It's funny because I totally relate with your feeling claustrophobic as i also feel the need to take them out not out of pain but just to have them off my teeth. I hope your experience continues to go well!

Hi everyone! I just got my invisalign 2 days ago. Im 23 now but I had braces for 4 years as a child but didn't wear my retainer after and my teeth have now shifted back to the start. The braces however never fixed my extreme overbite which on top of my crooked teeth cause me a lot of discomfort and ...
