How about some updates from wearers-how is it going?

Discussions about treatment with invisible braces that use clear aligners, such as Invisalign, OrthoClear, the Red White and Blue system, etc.

23u
11l

Currently 11/23 u & 11/11

My treatment is going very well. I am excited about my new smile! Invisalign's tagline is "Learn how to smile again" and I completely agree.
Its amazing to see my teeth transform right before my eyes every other week.

I love smiling now. :D

A very considerate thread, I thought! Things are going very well so far, thanks for asking! :D

I put in tray 2 last night of 25 U and 11 L.

It's a bit uncomfortable as you would expect in the first day or two after changing trays, but nothing unbearable. Being able to feel the immediate difference, and see it a shortly later makes it all worthwhile.

I have 9 attachments and really they're nothing to worry about. My only qualm is they do make removing the aligners a bit more difficult, but as the days into the trays move on, it does get easier.

Anyone reading this considering getting braces/invisalign - do it! It's so worth it and the weeks fly by.

Originally 18 U, 27 L

Now ??? U, 27L

Upper trays just stopped working...I suspect because my ortho did extra IPR (!) and they no longer fit. (I know he did extra IPR). Then I chipped a tooth on some bread. then the sharp edge cut through the tray a little, which caused it to crack (tray 18 -). Which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because my regular dentist bonded the chip and now I have some new trays being made. I don't know how many yet. Oof I hope it's not more than 6 and it ends up even with the bottom ones.

Bottom teeth are moving exactly as they should, I'm thrilled. Am worried about the top ones, but trying not to. I don't even care if they need to put attachments on both of my front teeth if it'll get these things to move where they need to be!
