First of all, don't say I wasn't wearing it right.
That's what the receptionist kept saying but I have worn the aligners every day, only taking them out when I'm eating.
I have taken good care of my aligners and performed the exercises that my dentist has instructed me to do.
My case: lower jaw has overcrowding and a bit of an over bite but was promised that they will be fixed.
After a year long treatment, both my upper and lower jaw did seem more "aligned".
But the teeth next to my incisors on my lower jaw is still visibly twisted.
Also, during the treatment, my teeth were being pulled outwards and during this process, I could see the roots of my teeth through my gums... It definitely didn't feel safe, and it hurt a lot.
In the end, I'm still upset that my crooked teeth has not been fully fixed.
I went through a lot of pain and patience but it is still not done.
This was a year ago and I'm still regretting the money I had spent on something so stupid.
My Doctor: Dr. Afrakteh
My rating:
Good man. Terrible Invisalign.

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...
Your treatment cost $8,000? Wow, I can definitely understand why you are upset. Do you mind me asking if your doctor is a general dentist or an orthodontist? Also, were you shown your Clincheck before starting treatment?
