Chicago Invisalign Doctors and Reviews

“Four Days into Invisalign - OUCH! -...”

Haven't been able to eat too well. I have a cross bite so I have bit the heck out of the inside of my cheek. Bottom center teeth hurt so bad when I eat. Went to my doctor of osteopathy the day after getting my Invisalign and he said he didn't like braces because they put too much pressure on the skull and throw off your whole system. The SILVER LINING is that I need to lose weight so I am... more

“Not Worth It - Homer Glen, IL”

Went to Booth dental in Homer Glen Illinois- Maybe he was to busy to finish my treatment properly or didnt care. Did not get the end results that I was told or expected. Still have a bent tooth that was not straightened and unexpectedly he told me we were finished. Couldnt believe it. Still bothers me. more

“Just Started Invisalign Journey -...”

I've been wanting to get a space between my front teeth fixed for many years. Just as a temporary fix i had some bonding done to close up the space but always felt it made my front two teeth too large. That "temporary" fix was 8 years ago! I consulted with 3 dentists and finally i decided to get a permanent fix by trying Invisalign. I just received my first set of tray yesterday.... more

“Invisalign Journey - Chicago, IL”

So, yesterday was my first day on Invisalign. Dentist popped it in, and tadah! I felt the pressure right away. Whoa! Quite a bit more than I expected. Also, putting the thing in and taking it out is a bit of a challenge. When putting them in, I have to be very careful not to get the lining of my mouth in between the teeth and the invisalign tray. I really hurts if that happens. I've taken... more

“So Far So Good - Chicago, IL”

Hello, I am on my 6/12 aligner right now. In first 5-6 days it was somewhere uncomfortable to wear the aligner until I used to it. You will lisp and your lips will be dry all the time, but later everything will be fine. Don't get discouraged. Teeth are moving fine. So far I am very satisfied. Will post final impression on completion of treatment. more

“Works Wonders! - Chicago, IL”

Let me just say this is by far the best dental office I've EVER been too! the people there are extremely nice and friendly,they work with you on payments and it's a very clean environment. if your in Chicago and thinking about getting Invisaligns, I highly recommend Chicago smile design... the reason I got Invisaligns was b/c I had over crowed teeth. I'm on my 14th tray and... more

“Joe's invisalign - Chicago, IL”

I'm on aligner 22/35 top 22/30 bottom. So far my teeth look 100 percent better, but the top aligner has a dip in the middle. However, my protruding teeth are gone, and my bottom row is almost completely straight. Another concern is what my bite will end up like, my jaw has been tired lately. I'm on aligner 28/35 upper - 28/30 lower and the dip in the middle of the aligner... more

“Switching from Metal Braces to...”

Hello folks! I have a question about Invisalign. I'm currently wearing metal braces and I was told I'm qualified for Invisalign in a couple of weeks. After the Invisalign evaluation, how long does it take to get my first set of Invisalign? Also, would I need to be wearing metal braces in the meantime? more

“All Good Until the Attachments Went...”

When I got my first set of trays (pre-attachments), I was thrilled. I thought, this is it? There's nothing to this! And was very happy and relieved. Everything about the process was better/easier than expected. Then a couple of weeks later I went in to get my next three sets of trays and have the attachments (8 total) put in. This changed everything. I had no idea that the... more

“A Long Process...”

I like that no one can really tell whether i am wearing them or not but the problem is, i get a very bad lisp so it can be very embarrassing at times. When i first put them on its very uncomfortable at first and must take some time getting used to. I am very unhappy that i have had them for almost four years and will probably have another year or two before i can completely stop the process.... more

“1st Tray with Invisalign”

This is my 3rd day wearing the invisalign and everything is going smoothly. I did feel a little pressure initially; more on the bottom tray verses the upper. I have more crowding on the bottom. Invisalign prescribed 17 Upper trays and 18 Lower trays. Not bad, that will give me about 9 months until I see my perfect smile. No one at work as noticed them. I smile and talk normally. The only minor... more

“I Highly Recommend This for Adults”

I've recently completed the invisalign treatment, so I'm wearing the retainers now.My dentist recommended the aligners to prevent gingivitis and to improve the health of my gums (I had "pockets"). The desired results were achieved - my teeth are straighter and it took approximately 17 months.I do recall experiencing pain at the begining of treatment, but afte more

“If You Want to Save a Few Thousand...”

I honestly never thought I would have any teeth-straightening procedures in my life. Never needed braces as a child, and I've always had relatively straight teeth (just a very slight alignment issue, almost unnoticeable) and people very often complimented my smile. I was unwittingly talked into this procedure by my regular Dentist (not specifically an Orthodontist) who tried to sell me on the... more

“Invisalign Was my First Choice”

I am in the middle of my invisalign treatment, so I have still yet to see major results, however so far I couldn't be more pleased with invisalign. It doesn't hurt, no one can tell I am wearing braces unless I tell them, I can take them out whenever I want.   Your dentist will tell you if you're a good candidate or not. It's a little bit of a pain to have to go in once a... more
