Thank you all for the input! I've been very curious about Waterpik too. May need to look into it!

I definitely noticed a difference in teeth color. My sister was always sooo jealous of my white teeth, lol! Then a few weeks into Invisalign, she looked at me and said, "You need to change back to your good toothpaste." (I used the Crest White products.) But I hadn't changed! So I've just ...

Definitely use a straw! I've drank Hawaiian Punch before through a straw, and as long as I was careful, it didn't even touch my aligners.

I've heard you have a higher chance of cavities with Invisalign. Not that it's Invisalign's fault or anything. It's just how your teeth are! I knew this going in, so I planned to get super careful about my teeth. On a good day, I brush 3x/day. My doc said even just one time will suffice as long as I...

I got mine in TWO! They told me 4-6 weeks, but also told me I'd come in the DAY they were sending a package out, so I might get mine a little earlier. I waited and waited. Called at 2.5 weeks because I was about to die to get them! And they told me, "Oh yeah, they've been here since FRIDAY!&quo...

One of my favorite things about Invisalign is being able to really brush my teeth! I've wanted to invest in an electric toothbrush for awhile... what are your thoughts?

Do you like these toothbrushes? Do you own one? And do you have a recommendation for me?

1) Sentenced to approx. 24 months. Bought Acceledent ($795 at my doc), moved down to 1 year (June - March). 2) $6,280 3) Invisalign 4) Slight overcrowding in lower arch. One tooth needed a ~45-degree rotation. Major gaps in the upper arch. Space between two front teeth. Later, I'll have clear braces...

I hadn't thought about that! I do tend to follow directions well, especially when it's something I'm paying this much for! I may keep them out for an extra hour here and there, but I'm right on track. On Tray 19 of 41, and the doc is pleased!

I've had nothing! Not even irritation from the attachments. The only things I've experienced were the increased saliva when I first got them (that subsided after a few days), and a couple of raw spots on my gums, just from the tray being fit a little weirdly. But we were able to file it down a littl...

I have 15. I think I'd have as many as it took. I really got Invisalign for the fewer appointments I would have to go to, having a full-time job and all. But I'd definitely be more self-conscious if I had some on my two front teeth! I do have them on the neighboring teeth, but they're fairly small a...

I'm aware this is a little late, but I wanted to reply anyway. When I went to my doctor, he told me that two of my back most teeth had not extruded all the way. I'd never noticed, but there's literally only the tops sticking out. So, to correct this, he suggested I go ahead with Invisalign (FOR TWO ...
