Well,it's been about three months now and I don't actually see any visible results...the gap on my lower teeth hasn't closed up and my top teeth is still sitting right on top of my bottom teeth.
You're lucky you only have one attachment on top and four on the bottom. The bottom attachments, I agree, are not ordinarily visible since the bottom lip covers at least half of the attachments when speaking and smiling (at least for me, anyway). The top teeth are the teeth that completely show when speaking and especially when smiling, and so attachments on the top teeth are usually noticeable. I'm going to get five on my top teeth pretty soon --- I'm dreading it!
What do you mean you can kiss with braces and not with Invisalign? Wouldn't it be more the other way around, since Invisalign is made of smooth plastic that covers the grainy-like attachments, whereas regular braces are exposed with no covering at all? Regular braces appear to be sharp, abrasive, and conducive to things getting stuck in between all that metal --- wouldn't that NOT be ideal for kissing?
