“Tray 3 and Very Comfortable”
Spent: $3,000 in Shoreham by Sea, England
I'm on my 3rd tray and so far so good. . I must admit i am starting to worry that it’s not actually working the whole tray changing is literally pain free :-). I have a gap between my top front teeth and my overbite needs some work, in total I’m set for 17 trays, 9 lower and 17 upper, which should take me up to December.
I think the only con is the attachments, my dentist didn't even mention them in my consultations and then on the day of my first Invisalign tray he said he needed to do some filing and add the attachments. I tell you my face did drop, I shouted out “What filing!!" luckily it wasn’t as bad as I thought thank goodness! I left the dentist about 40 minutes later with 3 attachments on my upper teeth and 2 on my lower. To this day no one has even noticed them :-).
So to sum up I am finding the whole experience quite pleasant so far... fingers crossed it continues…..

I am now on set 6 and things are moving along nicely but slowly, i went to see my dentist the other day to get my next few sets, he seems to think it's all looking good so i am happy, i have 4 more to go my lower teeth and so my dentist has informed me that its now time to choose the after treatment, the choices: a metal wire type thing which is bonded to the back of my teeth or a night retainer which i am aware is forever. Hard choice so any suggestions would be very helpful.
Tray 6 is the tightest set i have had yet, a little pain but it's not unpleasent, overall i am really happy with how this is going, i haven't found wearing the brace a hassle quite the opposite to be honest, my mouth kind of misses them when i take them out to eat.
