I haven't had good success with it so far, my buttons have fallen off twice and been replaced and I changed to my second tray and a week later it split in front......feeling very discouraged....I would rather have good old fashioned braces for all the problems I've had in a month it's not worth it....

Well here I am on my third tray now that my second tray has split in front and I almost made it a week and it is starting to split in the same place as the second tray did.....right in front of my crooked eye tooth...could it be it is trying to move and it keeps splitting,....I don't know.......I am so frustrated with the whole process and it is only a month and a half and every week I have a problem....just don't know what to do anymore....I would rather have braces than go through this every week....first week pegs fall over....get then redone....second week pegs fall over...get them redone....third week... second tray splits on front eye tooth....fourth week tray starts to split on front eye tooth again....stay tuned for the fifth week when I stomp on them and throw them in the garbage....I am so frustrated...if anyone has any suggestions to make this work better...please let me know...

Well on to week number five and my Dentist has finally agreed that braces would be a better option after pegs fell off twice and my second and third trays splitting....it's time to try an alternative option...I hope this works for me. Good Luck to all you people that have chosen Invisalign. I hope you have successful results in the end.

I'm just not convinced this will work.........seems like a Mickey Mouse project to me. I would have rather had braces than had to deal with the buttons falling off and the liner spliting........not what I expected from the program for the money I paid.... invisaline is a lazy way to fix teeth other than good old fashioned braces that produce accurate results in the end.
Are you having your Invisalign done by a dentist or an orthodontist?
Since it sounds like you are pretty early into treatment if you are seeing an orthodontist maybe they would consider switching you to traditional braces(??).
I'm glad you let us know you are making the switch. It sounds like a good plan that you & your orthodontist agreed upon. I hope braces go well for you & I would love for you to post a review about them and keep us updated on how you are doing once you get them. :)
