Some more IPR was done too on almost all my upper teeth (.3mm on the front teeth and .5 on the ones before the canines). ....I had quite of it done last visit and I wasn't all that happy about it at first... Hi Algabo, was wondering in total how much IPR did you have. My dentist was planning just u...

Today I had an appointment at the docs... I've been with aligner 5 some 6 or 7 days, and he just gave me aligner 6 and 7 and made me put 6 in?!?!? Well, I sure was happy, and I dont think something bad will happen, but feels weird to cheat. Anyway, things look pretty good, and I will post pics later...

ok, so today is my 8th day with my 4th set of aligners, and pain is gone since 4 days ago. Now I am just looking and comparing my current aligner and my past one with the 5th... not much difference though, but I guess it all adds up a little bit. Pics soon.

Ok, so 4th aligner is in, this is my 2/3th day with it and there is one tooth which is killing me! it hurts so bad, but only when I take the aligner off. Teeths are looking great by the way, I decided not to post pics until #5 or 6 so you guys can see a bigger change.

Hello everyone, so its been about a month and a couple of days since I got my first set of aligners. I am on aligner #3 now, I got it in on the 1st of January, I put it on before bedtime and they didn't feel that tight, next morning they were as good as if it where my 13th day with them. Teeth are l...

Meryaten, thank you very much for the link, I found it very helpful!

So I guess I have nothing to worry about having IPR done. Yey!

I forgot to ask, what is eveyone's opinion on IPR, I had quite of it done last visit and I wasn't all that happy about it at first, but I guess it's not that noticeable at the end, but I wanted to now if it has any negativity on the long run, or if it can cause any problems?

Thanks!

Actually, I too prefer the look of my teeth when the aligners are in as it's smoother, and you can't see my IPR or the attachments. Just have the occasional "spitting over someone when I'm talking" problem which doesn't go down too well whilst being chatted up in bars hee hee :oops: Hey I...

I agree with you diehard, I prefer the look of my teeth with the invisalign in, they make my teeth look bigger! When I go out I ussualy dring rum and coke with the aligners in, so far I've seen no staining or decoloration, but I do make sure I give my teeth and the aligners a good cleaning once I ge...

Ok, I just wanted to let everyone know that my second set of trays now feel more confortable and I feel almost no pressure at all, even when reinserting them after eating and brushing.

Looking forward for my next set of trays... still 12 days to go

please trust this advice put them in 1/2 hour or so before bed and sleep through the worst of it, it would drive me nuts wearing them for hours and then having to make the decision if its worth the pain to eat something or not :roll: diehard, even though the 2nd set went in yesterday, even today wh...

Ok, so today I went in for my second set of aligners (was given the third as I'm going on vacation and won't be here when the third's are due). I got glued 2 attachments which fell the first time I took out my first set of aligners. Some more IPR was done too on almost all my upper teeth (.3mm on th...

Diehard, today is my third day, and everyting is back to normal. After I eat and I put my aligners back in, they dont feel tight at all. Time to remove them was aprox 1 min for the upper and 12 min for the lower, now it is about 6 seconds for the upper and 20 seconds for the lower.

Thanks Devushka, actually I thought that given the position of my teeth my invisaligns were going to be more visible, but thats not the case, they are really invisible. Ok, so today is my second day with the trays, and when I woke up I felt them less tight than yesterday, now its not all that bad, I...

Ok, so its now 8:30 at night and I got my invisaligns at 11:00 am. One thing I can tell you... I am so desperate!! I want to rip them off! they hurt, they are uncomfortable, but they really are invisible! Ok, so I know I'm a little frustrated as I should be the first day, I wasnt expecting this much...
