Invisalign: Stories

Some providers unfortunately play down the visible nature of attachments, which is why it is important to do independent research. More often than not, Invisalign isn't invisible (it would be difficult for plastic trays to move your teeth without a little help). However, sometimes the amount of attachments you end up needing are more than your provider initially thought (like in my case!), which makes disappointment possible. But it will be worth it in the end, and your teeth are already looking fantastic! How long do you have?

I'm only a week into my treatment and I have almost the same amount of attachments as you at the moment (I'm missing one on my second big tooth but will get that later, meaning I have attachments on all my visible front teeth. I'm looking forward to it actually, as it looks odd with one tooth missing an attachment). Honestly, despite it being visible, it is SO much better than metal braces and far less visible than them. I was very self conscious at first but I notice it more than other people do, and I'm sure that's the case with yours too.

I can definitely understand why you would be disappointed if you felt like you received something other than what you were told would be. From your pictures the front attachments look very similar to braces. They don't look bad, but I agree that yours are noticeable.  Do you mind me asking if you went to a general dentist or an orthodontist?
