Invisalign is Awesome (Overlapping Front Teeth & Overcrowding)! But Not for Everyone...

I think you should get metal braces. They would work better for what you need. Plus, you wouldn't have to keep up with the retainers all of the time.

What? Does the retainer spontaneously combust after one year? I hope it's at least as entertaining as that if I have to blow 400 ever year.

I had 4 attachments/buttons and an overlapping front tooth. It was very difficult to get my trays off and I ripped the first 2. I got an Aligner Remover Tool, called an Outie. On Amazon, set of 3 is $5.00 plus shipping. It will give you peace of mind and it works great! You still work your trays loose a bit from the back teeth forward and then use this tool to pull them off. It takes me about 30 seconds max to get them off. You'll get the hang of it in no time. I read about it on someone's invisalign blog and thought I would give it a try. It really saved me!

I think you paid too much but unless you can get a refund it's no sense fretting now. Just focus on keeping them in for 21 hours a day so you can have a great smile worth more than 11,000.
