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!

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 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.

My bottom teeth don't look a huge amount different to me. In fact, one of my bottom teeth wasn't "tracking" (moving, I guess) properly so I had to leave both trays seven and eight in for an extra week. Because of the difficulty in moving by bottom teeth, I now have to keep the rest of my trays in for three weeks instead of the previous two. Annoying but as the dentist said, there's no point rushing through the process and being unhappy at the end.
I will be very excited to get tray 10 on - half way!

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!
