Meggles, Any chance you can let me know which format your dentist used to email a copy of the Clincheck? My dentist has promised me still copies of the screen but doesn't seem to know how to email the whole thing. Thanks .... its so exciting isn't it?!!! :D It was sent as an .avi - a video file.

New update!!

I got my attachments put on today, and my 3rd aligner.

Invisalign, here I come!

Hi Guys, I figured I would start a thread tracking my journey using Invisalign. I was going to put it in the "braces stories" section, but they seemed to all be stories about traditional metal braces. I started my Invisalign journey nearly 2 years ago now - going to see the orthodontist fo...

Hahahahaha! Invisalignee's post made me actually laugh out loud.

I'm due to go for my first Invisalign consult tomorrow, and I hadn't even considered the sexual aspect yet, although I know my fiance won't care.


Aren't there youngens on the boards though? :yikes:
