10/3/12 - Just got tray 1 of 16 for both upper and lower today. So far the process has been easy; I had my moulds taken earlier in the year and finally bit the bullet and proceeded with Invisalign after watching my teeth slowly get worse over the last few years. My doc said to wait a week to get my buttons put on, so I snapped the trays in and went on my merry little way this morning. They are not as uncomfortable as I had imagined. They are very snug, and I have also not had any issue removing them yet. I expect this to change once my buttons are placed. They are only slightly uncomfortable, I am not experiencing any pain, and there are no edges that rub or anything. I will update with all my tray changes, so stay tuned. I will get pics up soon, too.

Cheers,
A

This provider takes my insurance for my routine dental work. Elder Dr. Eckman has a bedside manner which I could see might be an acquired taste for some to tolerate, however I am not too put off by it. But I am not praising it, either. Their office manager, (I think that's what he is) Steven, however makes up for it and is quite the gentleman. Their techs and front desk staff is great, too.

10/15/12 - Hi again. It has been 12 days and I just wanted to update my review. Last Wednesday I went in and had the buttons, or attachments, added to my teeth. I have probably more than average, with 12 total. Two of my teeth even have two on them! The process to have the buttons added was painless, and took about 20 minutes in and out. They are probably the worst part about getting invisalign, though, especially if you have as many as I do. With my invisalign trays removed to eat, they have caused painful ulcers on my lips and tongue that are just now starting to callous over enough to make eating bearable. It also makes getting the trays in and out very difficult, and I had even caused a small crack in my upper tray during removal. Due to the crack, I was given the go ahead to move on to trays number two after 10-12 days since beginning, so last night I popped in the new set with a couple of ibuprofen and slept well. It has not as been painful as the first trays were. I have also updated my review with pictures.
