I am going onto week 3. First two weeks were really tolerable and I felt confident. Two days ago I got the ridges put in.... Oh boy. When my trays are on, I don't even notice the bumps and they don't hurt at all. Without the rides.. NOT so good. They hurt and are painful to eat with. But I am sucking it up and I am determined to do this. It will be 1.5 years and then they will come off.
The staff at my orthodontist's office is wonderful and they are a great support and motivator.
Going Strong! I will have 14 trays on the bottom...

Taking advil/tylenol and Putting in a new tray before I go to bed minimizes the discomfort of a new tray.

My orthodontist has taken time to sit and explain everything to me and has made sure I know when to expect pain and discomfort and what to expect cost wise and how the end result will be. Someone who takes the time to explain everything, is up front and is very supportive and listens is a very important part of this process.

Hi I live in Fairless Hills and I'm thinking about getting Invisalign. Who and where is your orthodontist?
I'm looking for one in my area.
I'm hoping TrcyDonnelly will reply to you so you know who they used, but if not you can click on the Find a Doctor tab near the top of the page and look for a provider in your area. You will be able to see their profile, read reviews written about them, and see the questions they have provided in the Q&A section. Hopefully that will give you a sense for if they are someone you would like to consider seeing for treatment.
Hope that is helpful! :)
