I got my Invisalign a while back and it is pretty convienient. I wash them and my teeth at lunchtime and snap them back on. All of my friends have very interested and curious about it.

My friend currently has braces. She got them a week ago and it makes me so thankful that I don't have them.

Great review?

Glad you are still feeling happy with your choice to go with Invisalign. :) How fantastic that you are already seeing your teeth move into position!! Do you have buttons/attachments on your "vampire teeth"??

I just rinse them off with water and brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush after I brush my teeth; after every time I eat, basically. I use Retainer Brite once a week as well, since my orthodontist offers the tablets for free.

Yay - glad you started your review CupcakeCat!!

What do you wash your trays with? I'm always curious to hear, because it seems lots of people do it a little different.
