Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Ok, everyone, I received my 8th set of trays today! I am happy to announce that I only will likely have 3 more sets left. He had planned for 6 more sets but the last three were to fill any potential gaps, my ortho does not think that I will have any!! Woohooooo! We also do not think that any refinement will be needed.
My process with Invisalign has been amazing so far. My teeth have moved very quickly. They have helped with my confidence. Previously, I really wouldn't get compliments on my smile but since beginning Invisalign, I have! They tell me how I have a great smile.
That compliment makes Invisalign worth it!
I will admit that I have not been wearing them as much as I should be. I have been wearing them probably closer to 18-19 hours a day. It has not seemed to make a difference.
So far, so good and not much longer to go!

UPDATE 04/05/2010 Tray #3
Ok, I received my third set of trays today AND they put 4 buttons on my teeth. After reading reviews, I was VERY concerned about how noticeable and painful this would be. In my opinion, they are barely noticeable!!! I am not experiencing pain or pressure from them either. I did ask the girl who works as my Ortho if it's weird I'm not experiencing pain and she said that I don't have much crowding and every case is different. I have noticed today that my front teeth feel "loose". The Ortho said that I had nothing to worry about because my teeth are moving and not completely set yet.
If I have one negative during this third set is that the buttons are rough on the inside of your lip. The less time that you have them out, the better.
Also, I have been breaking some rules! I have been drinking beer or other clear liquids with my Invisalign in during a night out. I do brush my teeth in the bathroom every few hours and swish my mouth with water while drinking periodically. There is no build up or discoloration on the aligners. I have been careful to not drink juice or anything with color additives. I don't want to have them out for long periods and I'd rather break a rule that's not hurting anything....at least, that I can tell....

UPDATE 03/16/2011
I just started my newest set of aligners and I find that I am in the most pain when they are first put back in after eating/drinking. This is only for the first day or two. I really do recommend putting in the aligners at night before you go to bed. This gives your teeth time to adjust while you are sleeping. Pop some ibuprofen about 30 minutes before putting them in and you will be good to go!
