Invisalign: Worth it

Invisalign satisfaction: Very good
I'm at day 3 and I can't tell you how many people have said "oh you wasted your money that isn't going to work". I was really starting to second guess myself! I only have 12 upper and 7 lower so they weren't too bad but enough to make me smile with my mouth closed. My dentist didn't warn me about these buttons. I have 3- max. left lateral incisor, max. right lateral incisor, and max right canine. I imagine they would be a lot easier to remove without them. On the up-side they're one heck of a diet aid! I haven't been able to sit around snacking while I stress about my husband over seas. Does anyone have any ideas how to round the edges or something? Thanks!

Don't fret! You are going to LOVE your invisalign results!! My husband is a dentist who does several cases a month and our patients are extremely happy with the results and have very few complaints of discomfort during treatment. The main complaint is the one you are having... sometimes the edges of the trays are a bit sharp. Simply take some ultra-fine sandpaper or the finest side of a nail file and gently smooth the edge. Also... I have a tip from my personal experience (I'm on my 17th tray.) If you change to a new tray set just after dinner and don't take them out until the next morning you will move into the comfort phase right away. (otherwise it will take 2-3 days for a new tray set to feel comfortable) Think about it this way... If you change to a new tray set in the morning and then take them out several times within the first 12 hours your teeth tend to move right back into their old position, thus shifting back & forth several times that first day causing soreness. Hope this helps! I love my invisalign!!
