“Just Started Invisalign - Atlanta, GA”
This is my first day (first tray) and I am excited. It feels strange, I had braces in my late teens and twenties and it feels somewhat the same. I feel the pressure and I talk with a mild lisp. The jury is still out about how I feel in terms of being able to take these aligners. I like being able to take them out to eat and brush my teeth but it may be a bit of a hassle at work, Especially... more
“Experience Varies - Atlanta, GA”
Here is a basic overview in regard to the details of my treatment. At the end, I have listed my personal likes/dislikes & other items. I had a bottom tooth that was distinctly out of place & I did not love my smile. When looking at photos of myself, I was always drawn to the way my teeth looked. I had braces as a child but did not wear my retainer as prescribed. My son is currently... more
“Buttons, Pegs, Whatever - Atlanta, GA”
The buttons were not discussed in detail, so I wasnt aware I would be wearing them for the duration! They are pretty invisible with the trays on...during lunch meetings, etc., I dont have the trays on, of course, and I look like I have food stuck to my teeth! I have 6 right now and I'm not happy with this part of the process! My teeth are moving am the results if pretty phenomenal.... more
“Still Waiting - Lithonia, GA”
I wouldn't recommend! I had regular braces in my late 20's because I did not wear my retainer for years my teeth shifted. At age 50 I decided to try the invisalign. I would not recommend them to anyone. First, I should have went back to my first orth but I decided to try National Orthdonics who treats you like you're on an assembly line, it took 6 weeks for them to come in,... more
“My Experience with Invisalign -...”
Rec'd my first set yesterday and already I'm sick of taking them out everytime I eat or even snack. I can say that it has made me eat less because of all you go through to take them out, brush and put them back in. The cost wasn't bad at all, my insurance paid 50% of the cost so I ending up paying $2100. As time goes on I hope I will get use to all this, but I wish I would have... more
“Just Started... - Atlanta, GA”
Just started my first set of aligners. There was some pressure the very first day but manageable after. I have a slight lisp which is realy annoying but hopefully it will go away. I read somewhere online that singing really helps so now I can officially annoy everyone in the house -:) We'll see how it goes and post the progress once in a while. p.s. Not rating this yet since... more
“Worth It...have Smile You Like for...”

“Pretty Easy but Diligence is Key”
I started using Invisalign in 2005. Teeth weren't terrible, but the gap between my top two had always bothered me. I had to wear the top retainer for 5 months and the bottom for 9 months. Other than the hassle of having to remove them to eat and having my speech affected slightly, it was definitely something I would do over again. I wore the retainers every night for 1 year after I completed... more
“Get Braces!! Not Worth It, Will ...”
My experience was terrible! My ortho was terrible! He did not tell me any of the negatives up front. I had braces as kid, over years had "mildly overlapping" of upper front teeth and some crowding on lower due to not wearing retainer and small mouth. Thought invisalign would be discreet and since in sales and in front of a lot of customers this was important... more
