Congrats on starting your journey! I hope you won't need the refinements, but once you get to that point, you will be quite used to the process so it isn't hard to decide to go forward with more trays. I look forward to following your journey as you move through the treatment! :)

I am collecting my trays tomorrow and reading this article is confirming what I am expecting... thank you for your honesty!! It is so difficult finding a decent review, one person either loves it and says it was the best thing they ever did without any details, and the others just moan about the pain and how terrible it was (their teeth are moving... it's going to hurt!!) I will continue to follow your journey as I start mine :) Take care!! Erika, Staffordshire xx

Tray 3

So tray 3 is in. Oweeee. Yes I can definately feel the tightness and the aching is similar to tray 1 but not that bad. Tray 2 was a walk in the park . Oh well, the tightness means it's working. Hopefully it will go away after a 2-3days. Will update again few days

First week of Tray 2

Sunshinesmile84
So I am on tray 2. I have to admit that I was a bit worried about changing trays after the pain I felt from the first tray. I am pleased to report that tray 2 was virtually pain free. I popped them in and I didnt feel the tightness I did from tray 1. So far tray two has been going well. I am getting the hang of putting them in and taking them out in a few seconds, and I now dont need to be infront of the mirror.

I have noticed slight changes but nothing too drastic. From reviewing my clin check I think the majority of the changes will start half way through the process. I dont mind, I know they are doing their job. Over the last 3 weeks, I must admit my teeth are becomming extremely white. I have limited my tea/coffee intake and I am brushing 3-4 times a day. It has made a significant difference!. For those of you who are worried about invisalign being visible, my experience has been great. No one at work has noticed (three weeks into the treatment) , and my husband often asks me if I 'have them in'. I am so happy I didnt go for the traditional braces look.

So far so good, enjoying the experience and getting use to them. Lets see how tray 3 goes ! Wil keep you posted !! x

Glad to hear that the second set provided some relief, compared to the first :).  There may be a couple here and there that are worse, but things should be better than that first aligner from now on :D.

Hi there I am on day three of my first tray! Also from the UK. I have found my teeth ache especially when I take out and even more when I put back in but hoping like it did with you, that this will improve. Also have whiter teeth and also a flat tummy due to no more snacking : (

Hi there, I wouldn't worry about the pain. Although the first few days I was in tears the pain went away. My second set was pain free. I change into my third set tomorrow night, hopefully it remains pain free. I'll let you know how it goes. Keep with it , it will get better
