That does sound super harsh! GOD I LOVE INVISALIGN!!!!! I HATED it the first couple of weeks to 1 months but now I'm on no 19 out of L21 U20 and I'm almost finished with my treatment! I LOVE the result and I LOVE the fact that NOONE has noticed through all this time exept 1 person at my work cause s...

I feel the same way as most of you guys! In the beginning I wore them as much as possible now I'm a lot more relaxed about it and only wear them for 19-20 hours average and I don't do extra days at all. I became more layed back about it after an ortho visit. I was in the waiting room and the patient...

Hi Nanny If I were you I would definetely file them down RIGHT NOW!!! I remember how much my first 3 sets hurt my tongue!!!! I filed those down and it helped alot. It was terrible having to go to work and not being able to talk at all because my tongue was hurting so bad. I guess my tounge's just us...

hi Pearlie Nope I don't have pictures at all! I couldn't even get my self to look at my clin check and didn't want any pictures mailed to me. Didn't like what I saw one bit! BUt I see a huge change in my teeth so that's great! I know how you feel about summer; Sucks!!!!! But it'll soon be over for g...

pearlie!!! Trust me I know how you feel dealing with a similar situation!!! I felt just like you! Thank god I'm on nr 11 (21 L, 20 U) now and I feel so much better about my teeth alredy. Now that I see so much process it's not so bad anymore though I'm still super annoyed by this whole invisalign th...

I guess it's not extremely bad but I definetely don't like them one bit!!! I'm so thankful to invisalign for making my teeth so much prettier! BUT WHAT AN ANNOYING pain this is!!! Not that it hurts that much at all, it's just so annoying with all the in and out! Plus kissing is so much better withou...

Hi Pearlie I would be scared to go with invisalign if I were you to be honest! If I were you I would get lingual braces. That way no one can tell anyway, and it's probably safer for you! Especially if he's already talking about you needing fixed braces after invisalign. Invisalign is great and I lov...

Hahaha That's funny! Thanks Guys!!!
Couldn't get my selv to it though. I have an appointment on thursday I'll ask there if I should just use no 4 another week.

Today when I went to the bathroom to take my invisalign out to eat, I accidentally dropped it in the toilet. I felt pretty disgusted with the idea of putting it back into my mouth!!! I had used this aligner(no 3) for 8 days, and I figured I might as well just put in the next one(no 4) in stead. Sinc...

Skylark, I'm 23 and got invisalign 3 weeks ago. I had the same problem as you and did NOT wish to walk around with metal or even ceramic braces all over my teeth, being selfconsious!!! So I decided on invisalign and was SOOOOO scared about the whole visibility issue! When I finally got the 1st align...

I'm on no 2 out of 20 U/ 21 L

ohhh my God Cleveman that's terrible!!! Let us know what happens! That dentist should not even be alloved to do ortho stuff screwing people's bite up like that is pretty bad! I hope it all works out great for you in the end! Please do tell what ended up happening! I do think your idea is very fair! ...

Good for you!! Congratulations! Did you post any pictures?

Yes it sucks! Sorry! I tried though but she started taking it personal so my female intuition told me to not rub anymore in the subject. I still think its rude of your ortho to not take the time to answer your questions!

hello I just recieved my firstsets yesterday too! I have to say I'm kinda jalous I don't feel hardly anything on the teeth at all. But my tounge is torn up! I hope it's still gonna work anyway. So I'm sorry to say I don't have an advice for you, but I think you are lucky that you feel it working, I'...
