Aug 15, 2012 - Today I am OFFICIALLY Invisalign FREE!!!! I am 1,000,000,000,000,000% satisfied with my treatment. I have added pictures to show the final product. As I mentioned in a FEW videos I have opted to go with the permanent bonding instead of retainers (also pictured)...

I just got my invisalign in 4 hours ago. I'm excited and curious so I looked up videos and saw yours. Your teeth look amazing-- congrats! When I took my trays out to eat lunch today I felt like I would be pulling out all my teeth with them. These things are tight!! 18months to go...whoa.

Wow congrats... I am sure your invisalign treatment will go well for you. Also, thanks for watching the videos too! If I can help you with anything, just let me know!
Amazing... you have convinced me to get invisalign for myself!!

Very good to hear that you can see a dramatic difference to the size of your gap.
I just put my 3rd set of aligners in and my ortho just put on attachments. Did you have to have attachments?
Btw...you have a fantastic smile :)

I have 6-7 attachments attachments scattered on my top and bottom teeth. How is your treatment going?
Also thanks for the compliment!!

Thank you for all the videos and commentary! I watched a few videos before getting my first tray, and you've made me feel much more prepared.

The gap is closing much faster than expected. I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

Mar 16, 2012 - On my 7th set out of 17 and for the first time I can honestly say that I am noticing a difference with my front gap... and im not even at the halfway point. lol I have upgraded my "Was it worth it?" from 'Undecided' to 'Worth It"... because I now believe this process overall is indeed worth it. Hopefully my decision remains positive throughout the 2nd half of my progression. I am definitely looking forward to my future progression in the 2nd half of my treatment.

Woohoo for almost being at the halfway point!!! Also glad to hear your transition to this new set was easier - keep up the good wear!! :)
Yeah, I can understand why you would be hesitant to do the bonded retainers, but they really are a great way to go. Is he considering putting a tiny one on your upper teeth since you started with a diastema? They aren't super common, but not a bad idea to make sure those front teeth don't split again.

Yes Megan, he is considering the the bonded retainer for my upper teeth. Ive had some time to process it and now I actually am ok with it and kinda look forward to it.
Naas - you are COMPLETELY done?!!! Woohoo!!! Congrats!! Your teeth look amazing! :)
I would have thought you would have had full retainers for a little bit, so if you think about it, I'd love it if you would update us in a few months & let us know if things have stayed in place just fine, or if you have seen any shifting.
Enjoy your tray free-ness!
Oh no, I would have thought you would have liked the bonded retainers. Are they just a pain to eat with & to try to floss around, or what?
I am really not happy with it at all. But I will try my hardest to make it to the 3 month mark before I ask my orthodontist to remove it and just go with the clear retainers.
Yeah, I can see how flossing could be a pain. The people who make the Sonicare toothbrush recently came out with a flosser thing that is suppose to work really well. I haven't tried it, but maybe ask your ortho if using that is a possibility instead of fighting with the floss?
