My teeth are crowded on the top and bottom, due to my front tooth sticking forward there's a slight chip. I had my first invisalign consultation 4years ago but couldn't afford it. Now out of uni and working I had a consultation in October 2011 and eventually had impressions taken in march 2012 (it took so long because I needed fillings before the impressions were taken). I'm a teacher and don't want visible braces in my mid 20s. The cost for invisalign is actually cheaper than other brace types.

I would think you would need new impressions then as well, but am not 100% sure. Make sure to bring the erupting wisdom tooth to the attention of your dentist. I'll be curious what the decision is!!

That is great they thought you were ok to start treatment. Glad to hear your first day with them is going ok. :)
Please let us know how you continue to do with them, and especially what you think once you get the buttons put on!
With regards to my invisalign can definitely feel a bit of movement and a bit of aching but no pain yet
I'm now 5 days into my second retainer. The first...
This brace is much easier to talk in than the first though at first I greatly struggled with removing it to begin! My ortho gave me one of those blue stick pully offy things to help but after a day I didn't need it.
I got quite worried towards the last couple of days of aligned 1 that my brace was too loose however from reading other reviews that's normal and means I'm ready to change. With this brace it felt tight straight away but again no pain. Now after 5 days I'm getting quite an ache at my molars and incisors. Is that normal after a few days?xx

Good to hear an update from you! I'm glad you seem to be getting use to your trays pretty quickly. As for the ache in your molars & incisors that developed a few days after switching trays - sounds totally normal to me. As with anything, if it just doesn't seem right to you or seems excessive I'd definitely call the dentist to have them check, but keep in mind all of the movement isn't done at once. Your teeth will be slowly shifting the entire time, so the aching will probably be most noticeable right after your new trays, but wouldn't seem too odd to have later as well.
Have you had your onlay done yet?
So glad to hear you're not experiencing the same soreness! I suppose the trays could be playing into you not grinding your teeth, or perhaps the little bit of movement that has happened has helped?? It will be interesting to see if it changes again as your teeth continue to shift.
Invisalign and a wedding?! Very exciting times!! :)
Here is a review by another community member in the same boat. He has some great videos that might be of help while you are getting used to your Invisalign.

I'm guessing you are waiting on the delivery of your trays right now. Do you know when you will get them?
