    Too true, had I not gone through regular braces before, I would be wondering if I had made the right choice for sure!

    Congratulations! Straightening your teeth helps so much with self confidence... Not only that but having a proper bite can mean the difference between keeping your own teeth into old age and dentures!

    Wisp disposable toothbrushes are fantastic for those unplanned snacks! The tooth pick end can be very helpful at removing the trays too.

    Kristen,
    I am on day 3 and as uncomfortable as I have been with the digging in, loose teeth, and even sinus troubles - I must say... These are SO SO SO much better than the normal braces I wore for 4 years when I was younger!!! The brackets constantly made my cheeks bleed. I cut my tongue on the wires trying to get food out of the while eating. Every two weeks I was in for tightening and spent a day in agony as a result. I broke brackets and wires and cement came loose on the banded teeth. Basically I spent 4 years being tortured and the end result was that my teeth were better but no where near where they should/could be. So now I'm back in braces and I really wish I had done invisaligm in the first place!
