San Jose Invisalign Doctors and Reviews

“Moderate Crowding; 23 Trays; Good...”

I'm 37 and had moderate crowding on my lower arch (about 5-6mm). As a result, I have damage to one lower tooth because of the way it strikes the upper tooth. I spoke to 3 orthodontists (I recommend you go to an ortho not a regular dentist!). One said Invisalign was poor choice and he recommended braces. The other two said my case was borderline for what more

“Underbite is Gone. Well Worth the...”

I had a severe underbite that most people could not see my upper front teeth when I smiled. After 1 year of invisalign treatment, the underbite is now gone and the rotated tooth on top is about 70% corrected. Lower front teeth crowding is totally fixed (very perfect). I have gone through 25 upper and lower trays at this point and have 5 more upper trays and 1 more lower tray to go. Also,... more

“Invisalign Was Great”

I had some bite issues and a tooth that was crooked -- I think I quit wearing my post-braces teen retainer in college.4 months of invisialign worked wonders--I love how my teeth look and function now and I never would have done it if it weren't invisible! more

“Aligners Prevent Proper Bite”

So far I am very undecided with this whole process. It is very uncomfortable and I am wondering if I should have gone with traditional braces.I just got my first set of aligners today. So far they are incredibly uncomfortable. I can't bite down properly because of how the aligners fit. It is so frustrating. I am wondering if this is normal and if it will get better as i progress with the aligners? more

“Can the Unwanted Attachments Be...”

Pros - nearly invisible, supposelycons - if attachments are required in some cases. The invisalign experience will become very visible, and that defeats the purpose of having an invisible bracing.My dentist has never in details discussed or informed me about the requirement of attachments during my 19-week treatment, is it not a proper practice? Now the attachments are set on my teeth (8 at... more

“Some Things About Invisalign You May...”

I have 5mm of crowding in my lower arch. My treatment is for 16 trays upper, 24 lower. I'm on my 4th set right now. If you're consulting with your ortho, ask them if you will require attachments(buttons). They make it much harder to insert/remove the trays. Also, they will prevent you from evenly bleaching your teeth since they cover part of your teeth. I have 5 attachments on each arch,... more

“Getting Straighter”

I am about half way through my year and a half invisalign treatment. My teeth are getting much straighter. When I began the treatment, I had a few negative side effects. The first tray was pretty tight so I was clenching my teeth. This in combo with a bit of TMJ caused my jaw to lock shut. Took a few months to completely heal but now it's fine. Also, I had an horrible lisp for about a... more

“Still in the Process of my Braces...”

I have been wearing invisalign for 7 months already and I am on my 15th tray. My first day wearing invisalign was horrible because it was so painful. I got used to the tray within a day or two. The only con about invisalign is that you have to be very discipline. I try to wear my invisalign 20 hours a day but there are times when I get lazy and forget to put the aligners on right after I... more
