WORTH IT$2,700

Hi everyone....well I just got my impressions done on Sept/16/09. I'm so excited I can hardly wait. I think my treatment will be for 12 months, I have a slight overbite and a small gap so I'm so ready for them to come so I can get the treatment started. I'll update on a regular so you guys can see how I'm doing. I submitted a picture of before.

I'm sorry I meant to put in there that this is the price I had to pay after my insurance company paid half. Got to love Insurance.

Tray 1 of 10

Okay so on Oct 8 I got my Invisaligns and I must say that they are not that bad at all. I have 10 upper/ 10 lower so I'm consider Invisalign express.

There is a little pain, but nothing major I can't handle. I'll post pictures this afternoon.

I was really suprised to see that no one could actually tell they were in.

Okay for all of you who have them how and what do you use to keep them clean?

Here's a Doctor Q&A thread about how to clean your aligners. Hope this helps!

How do I clean my Invisalign?

From your picture I wouldn't think you needed any work done to your teeth! I know I'm more self concious because mine are no where near perfect but if I had your smile,I would be more than happy! It looks like we started about the same time on the treatment but you will finish much faster than I will. Yes...I'm jealous! ;-). For cleaning the trays I soak them once a day in denture cleaner. I bought the generic brand at Wal-Mart to save a little money plus I can't imagine there is a big difference between that and the name brand. I also brush them gently after each time I am done brushing my teeth. When I read how people say their trays get stained, I don't see how that's possible. They are only in for two weeks and if you follow the instructions and clean them properly they shoud never get stains. Anyway, good luck with your treatment. I'm sure you will have a more then perfect smile when you are done!

Thank you I really appreciate that. You know a lot of people say that but my teeth really bothered me and over time that small gap of mine was getting a little bigger and I've always hated the over bite I have so over time that will be gone.... Oh no don't be jealous I'm sure yours will just as you want them..you'll end up with a perfect smile to. For cleaning I also use the denture cleaner and it works great...I guess some people don't take care of them like they should...just nasty..lol But I want mine to stay crystal clear,because I have to wear them 3 weeks at a time. Well lets stay in touch and I hope all goes well for you.

If you want to keep your Invisaligns clean, brush them dail just like you teeth. Also, there is a cleaner on the Invisalign website that you should consider buyin. It works!! Best of luck to you on your Invisalign journey.....11 more trays and I will be done with mine. BTW, I'm from Shelby, NC. I now live in Minnesota.
