Sorry I haven't updated for so long. I've been done with my aligners since last fall and now only wear them at night as a retainer. Very happy with the results. I would highly recommend using red, white and blue.

Sounds real good. I had my apptmt. today for my last upper aligner. I originally was scheduled for two uppers only but he added a third for some fine tuning. Bottom teeth are nice and straight after their third aligner. Six weeks and I'm done. I've had a great experience. Thanks for your updates.

Wow, that is no good but it sounds like everything will work out for you. Yah, these things are great. My previous ortho. that made me the spring aligner (which did not work at all) said I would see no improvement with clear aligners. I think he was probably just a little irritated that I was leavin...

Yep, my ortho. slimmed my teeth without batting an eye. Definitely seemed to know what he was doing. Can't see the gaps anymore since my teeth have moved. Got my second set of aligners on Monday and these babies are much tighter than the first set! A little pain but I like it--tells me they're worki...

Just curious on how you cleaned your aligners???

Nope, I'm slated to wear all three sets for six weeks as far as I know. The bumps feel like concrete when you rub your teeth over them. They are somewhat noticeable when I smile but hey, what the heck. They are easy to accept though because I can't really take them off so I just go with it!

Day 6 and I sometimes forget I even have the aligners in anymore. They did adhere "bumps" to two of my teeth on the upper arch. Not sure what these are actually for. Maybe someone can fill me in. The trays have really loosened up already and I'm experiencing no pain at all. I can already s...

Just got my new aligners today. I must say I am very pleased. My speech is just slightly compromised (if at all) but I would feel comfortable talking in front of anyone already. I think part of this is the fact that I had a spring aligner last year which made speaking difficult. The red, white and b...

Thanks for the progress report. I'm getting my first set of aligners on April 12th. I'm hoping I can get used to them quickly as far as my speech goes.

Greetings, I've enjoyed your insight into RWB as I am going to be going through the same treatment and would really appreciate it if you could keep me updated as to your progress either through the public forum or just by PM'ing me. My impressions are done and I am awaiting the trays. I had braces a...
