- 4 Nov 2011
I'm 52 years old and began my invisalign treatment in May '11. I'm on tray 17 and I'm very happy with my progress so far. I tend to clench my teeth at the front, which actually has been helpful in moving along at about 10-11 days a tray. My orthodontist checked at my last visit, saying I'm not having any splaying of my back molars, so all is well. I began at the second tray with my 5 attachments, so I've had the "snap-on" experience from the start. Mostly hate it when I occasionally catch my lip while taking them in or out. Otherwize, it's been fine. The pressure and tenderness go away within a couple of days per tray. I see it as a pretty inoucuous way to overcome my lifelong desire for straight teeth! Another 15 trays to go and I'm set for the rest of my life! I'll load some pictures soon.

I have had a great experience with my Orthodontist from the very first visit. I am happy to recommend him to anyone interested in this kind of straightening treatment!

Dr Estimation: 9 trays/ 5 months I thought the price was great I have had braces as a kid...
Well, I had my first set of trays places today and to my surprise I have absolutely no pain...
After months of preparation.. I'll get my first trays on may 30! Really excited and anxious...
How great that you have had such good results so far! I have to ask out of curiosity, did your dentist advise you to move to new trays after 10-11 days or did you decide that yourself?
Can't wait to see pictures! :)
I'm glad to hear he gave you the ok to move ahead sooner though, if you know you are ready. I've heard of some people doing it on their own and then as treatment moves on they don't end up getting the results they wanted and are very disappointed, so well done on checking with your doctor!
I'm guessing your orthodontist office would be happy to share your pictures with you. :)
