I have just started Invisalign treatmemt. I am on my second set of trays and will be going in to see the dentist for a check-up and to recieve my third and fourth sets.
Things have been going well so far. My second set of aligners did feel extremely tight when I first put them in but it didn't take long for the pressure to ease. I have 11 buttons and will need 20 trays in total. I have noticed a very slight difference alreadh - my front teeth have been pushed back slightly.
So far, so good!

I didn't mention this in my initial post, but I have had IPL on two teeth. Like everyone said, it sounds scary but doesn't hurt. I was a bit nervous because one of the teeth that needed thinning was quite sensitive due to a huge filling. It was fine though and actually feels better now.
It's Wednesday today and I go to the dentist on Friday for my next two sets of trays. I am curious if the third set will be tighter than the first two when I put it on.

I am now on tray number 6 and things are going well. My teeth have definitely shifted and I'm noticing that my trays are getting easier to clean because they have fewer weird angles and are more symmetrical.
I do go see my dentist every month for a check-up and to get the next two sets of trays. I do appreciate that he wants me in so regularly because, as I've read on here, that's not always the case. He is willing to listen and answer questions and has been very helpful.
My one complaint is that the dental receptionists are unclear on what I should be paying. Every time I go in I get a different story. It's very annoying and I am definitely keeping track of what I'm paying. I'm not going to pay any more than what I was quoted without good reason.

Wow, from what most people say the part you just went through (the first couple of weeks) is the worst. It sounds like you did pretty well with it, so hopefully the rest of your treatment will be just as smooth.
Did you know ahead of time that you would be getting the 11 buttons?
What a great attitude!! I bet you will have a fantastic result and am looking forward to hearing about each step along the way. :)
Wow, lucky! I think you are right though that its probably not something that can be done for many people - fortunate for you for being one that it could be done for!
