My dentist was very knowledgable and informative. He took time to go through the whole procedure of Invisalign. He told me about the attachments and IPR. He answered all my questions and was very approachable. Other dentists I went to was not informative at all. They didn't explain anything.

Bummer to hear your teeth were hurting so badly from your last tray. I'm guessing its because they were freed up to move quite a bit more from the IPR, which of course is a good thing...too bad it can't happen without any discomfort at all though!

I just got my first tray yesterday morning. I was almost in tears trying to take it out to have my meals. I have very soft short nails. Thank you, whoever mentioned wearing gloves. I will try that and hope it will help. My dentist applied a lot of attachments and it makes it so difficult to get the trays off. I think I will be losing a lot of weight while in treatment -- my daytime snacking, and my evening wine don't seem to fit in with the program.

Hi!  You said you'd be done with treatment by the end of last year.  Did things work out as you'd hoped?  :)

Im on tray 13 of 20 and I really notice a difference in my smile. It's more straighter! IPR is when the dentist shaves the sides of your teeth to make more room for the other teeth. The good thing about it is: it's painless, but there was some bleeding in my gums. What I didn't like about it was the sound of the tool that they used (it sounded like a drill) and how water just splattered all over my face -__-
7 trays left!! WOO can't wait. I'm going to get my next IPR done in 2 weeks.

I put my tray number 3 on at night on Wednesday and it felt like tray 1 all over again. It hurt so much! It took a day or 2 for me to get used to the trays in my mouth again. I don't see any improvements yet but I'm so excited !
