Ok - this is my second day of wearing the invisalign. My thoughts - I am not satisfied or happy at all. I should have just purchased the clear braces that I had when I was 19yrs. old. (I'm 34 yrs old)Prior to deciding to get these - my teeth - mostly my bottom teeth I thought needed to be straightend. I didn't think that my top teeth were bad and was overall satisfied with the the top teeth. I went to a regular denisit and told him my concern. After speaking with him - he mentioned that he suggest that I get on the top as well. i was informed of the "bumps" that were going to be placed on my teeth. But totally not aware of actually how they would work - all they said is you can not see them, there the same color as your teeth and they were "NO BIG DEAL". I am very upset. I actually have 5 bumps on my top and 2 on my bottom. And YES they are very visible and very uncomfortable. It is exactly like wearing braces except they cost 2xs the amount. I believe that this is why I am sooo upset. It's the bumps that makes these horrible not the actually invisaligns. If i just had the trays - well they are braces, but i could survive. But I feel that I was totally mislead. I know that to straighten teeth you have to go through some self consious times, but that is why I thought I would go this route. thinking it would be a little better. but with all of the bumps - it truthfully looks exactly like I have braces. I feel that I am going to have these bumps taking off my top teeth. And continue to treatment with the bottom teeth. I'm very nervous since I already feel that my top teeth were fine (I am satisisfied with them) - I don't want to go through all of this hassel and feeling uncomforatble for nothing. I truely believe that in marketing these that everyone - not just my denist needs to be informed of the "bumps" - everyone will be different - some poeple might not have any some people might only have a few - but when it comes to seven which I have and most are in the front. Do you think they could have mentioned that this is what it will look like and it would be less expensive - maybe you should consider braces!!!!!!! Come on!!!!
