WORTH IT$3,000
I'm almost 40 years old, and I've always been very self conscious of my teeth and never show them when I smile. When my dentist told me that she wanted to help me I almost wanted to cry. She knew I didn't have a lot of money but I saved up enough in a year for a down payment. My insurance covered a portion of it and she is allowing me to make payments to her each month. I'm expecting to get them in soon. I cannot wait! I'm excited and nervous, mainly nervous cause I'm a wuss at pain, but I'm willing to do this. It's one of my dreams coming true!

Well it has been a month and a half now since I have had my molds done. Still no word on when I will get my invisaligns. I have called the Dr. office off and on in the past month and all I get is, "It should be any day now." Getting a little discouraged here! Grrrr! Still undecided!

FYI - I had my impressions done on April 16th. I'm not scheduled to receive my trays until June 19th. I hope yours come in soon. Trust me I'm ready to receive mine as well.

Hang in there Crystleen, once you receive your trays and start your treatment, the weeks start flying by.

I agree with Ocdave, It was torture for me to sit there for weeks waiting for these trays as I have wanted orthodontic work done since my front teeth first erupted. So It wasn't just the wait for the trays that I had to wait for it was the majority of my life waiting for braces that added on to the torture of waiting for the aligners,
It's true once you get your aligners "time flies by" It seems like yesterday it was April 17th and I was going for my first aligner, getting attachments, receiving IPR,
I hope you don't get too discouraged by the wait.
I'm sure we are all waiting for your aligners to arrive aswell, as we would love to see an update to your review in the future.
Best of luck, Jake.

Thanks for the responses, I was told 2- 4 weeks they would be ready, and to call if I had not heard from them in 4 weeks. I wish they would have given me a more realistic time frame. Seems like everyone else has waited longer.

Oh my gosh, that is so fantastic that your dentist was willing to work with you to make this happen. I am so excited to watch as your teeth start to change position & to see them line up into a smile you love!!
Looking forward to hearing more from you!
