It took a long time for me to convince my parents to get Invisalign Teen! Being only 14 years old they didnt trust me with the responsibility of keeping the trays in for at least 22 hours a day. But in the end, i got it and i've worn it for the prescribed amount everyday. it took 4 weeks after molds and X-rays to get to my doctor.

When you first put it on its a little uncomfortable, there's some pressure but it didnt hurt very much! The next day i noticed slight pain on a couple of my bottom teeth (which are very crowded)but on a scale of 1-10, it was maaybe a 2. After 2 days of the pain, it went away and i could barely feel the aligners for the next 2 weeks. Which is when i got my 7 attachments, and i have gotten used to those too!

Im almost done with my 2nd trays of 14 upper and 22 lower. and i love it! I can already see the difference! I definitely recommend it to anyone, even teenagers! feel free to ask any questions!

how long do you have to wear them?

My doctor said normal braces for me would take 18 months but Invisalign would take 12-15 months. My top teeth should be done in 7 months total and the bottom in 11. So im guessing the extra 1-5 months is for refinements just in case my teeth dont move as planned

if u have overcrowding, do you have to have teeth out?

My doctor said that if i were to get braces i would have some teeth pulled out or have to use an expander. But with Invisalign, it acts like an expander. and if its really needed i think they usually file in between some teeth, but they havent in my case yet.

Is it true your teeth become loose?

Do you have overcrowded teeth? I have fangs in the top teeth and crooked bottom teeth, would invisalign be appropriate for me? Im 14 too :)

Althea97, I wanted to let you know that you can post your question about if you are a candidate for Invisalign in our Q&A section, be sure to include pictures of your teeth so the dentists can see them. You will of course need to be evaluated in person by a dentist to know for sure, but at least that can give you an idea. :)
