Tray 6
Just popped tray 6 in this morning, it's a bit snug but definitely not painful thanks to Acceldent. I cannot say enough about how amazing Acceledent is. It has changed my experience with Invisalign dramatically. I don't have any pain (including migraines) like my first 4 week without it and only have minor discomfort for about 12-24 hours. I assume all is going well with the actual movement with my teeth but I won't really know until my next appointment in three weeks.

For the last 2-3 years I have been fairly...
For the last 2-3 years I have been fairly self-conscience of my smile. I previously had braces when I was 15 years old for close to two years and absolutely hated them. I also did not want to get them in the first place... mostly because I was a brat, but also because I had terrible acne and eye glasses and did not want to add braces to my already awkward look. Oh well, so braces happened and when I finally took them off two years I was so relieved and expected to never see my orthodontist again.
Never last about a month into wearing my retainer because my teeth began to shift A LOT. I was forced to go back to the orthodontist and was told I would need permanent retainers if my teeth kept shifting. The thought of having more metal in my mouth frightened me so I never returned again. Well, my teeth continued shifting, I began wearing my retainer less, and that basically leads us to where I am today. My teeth are now more crooked than they were before braces, especially my bottom teeth, so I finally decided (10 years later) it was finally time to fix them again but now as a "responsible" adult (who has to pay for them this time around).
After paying all my holiday bills off, I decided to go in for a consultation in early March with a new orthodontist, Dr. Stephen Grussmark. He told me I was eligible for Invisalign (thank god or else these teeth would be crooked forever) and that it would be about 15 months of treatment, which I thought wasn't too bad so I decided to go ahead with it right there and than. My treatment cost was originally $4,500 and my dental insurance covered $1,000.
Four weeks later I came into pick up my first tray of Invisalign and all went well until my orthodontist told me my treatment plan would now be 20 months (42 trays). I was not happy and started to regret my decision, but it was too late (especially since I already put my down payment). I was ready to go home and sulk when my ortho said "you haven't asked me the number one question asked by all my patients..... How can I speed this up." He started talking to me about Acceledent and how it could cut my time in half... the only problem was... it would be $1,450 more, which I had to pay upfront. I had never heard of it so he told me to do my research on it and come back in two weeks.
After about 4 hours into having my first tray in (dealing with the pain and discomfort), I really started thinking about Acceledent. I did my research over the next two weeks (most of which I did on here!) and was so impressed by all the positive reviews, especially since I could not find anyone whose time with braces was not reduced significantly. I decided $1,400 for 10 months of less pain and mouth gear was the right price for me.
I started using my Acceledent two weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I put tray three into my mouth on Friday and only had half a day of pain and discomfort... compared to the 3-4 days of pain and discomfort I felt on my first and second tray without Acceledent. The vibrations are very light and the 20 minutes goes by pretty quickly so I really don't mind the extra step everyday. I have trays 3-8 right now and will be changing them every week so I will let you all know how my progress is going. I will not how well it's working until the end of June when I see my ortho again, but I am pretty confident, especially since I've already noticed the reduction of pain from changing trays.
I'll tray to upload pictures later today.
