Bite turbos, power ridges, pontics!
heyitssabsFebruary 26, 2016
Finally got some pictures to post! I feel like I have all the features that Invisalign offers lol
So on tray 6 I have a power ridge on my front top tooth. You really can't tell its there. It's pretty much an indent at the top of the tray, close to my gum line. It doesn't cause any pressure or pain, my doctor said it helps with the overbite.
Bite turbos- I've had them since tray 1. I have 3 on top teeth: left anterior, right anterior and lateral incisor. They should also help with the overbite. I find them comfortable to bite down all the way with them, as pre Invisalign me would always have my teeth sorta hovering above each other since I was always aware of my overbite and didn't want my teeth to completely clench down i.e.: when I smile.
Pontics: I was super nervous about this, but my doctor put acrylic in it and i am totally satisfied. I am missing my two righ bicuspids, so it's a pretty big gap. My dentist puts in the acrylic each time I go in to pick up my new trays, the color is A2. It looks pretty natural to me.
Overall, so far so good. I'm currently on tray 8/ 30 top and tray 8/33 bottom.

Tray 6 starting to see some really some changes

So far so good, haven't had any complications with my invisalign, i never had to file any edges down or had to do any extra maintenance. My pontic stays in just fine and id say I'm a 7/10 pleased with the color. Its not a perfect match but most of the time i forget that its not so whatever! 99% of the people forget I have them or don't even know I have them, which is pretty cool i guess. I'm always surprised a little when people ask me like wait, what you have invisalign? I don't have any recent pictures, but heres a pic of my starting/ before invisalign. As you can see my smile is pretty narrow and that I'm missing my two biscupids on the top right. Ill try to get a present pic uploaded soon.

How many trays do you need?! I'm on my first and i'm kind of jealous you don't need to file anything. Mine are so sharp on my tongue!! Can't wait to see progress :)

I have 30 trays on top and 33 on bottom. I'm not sure why some are so sharp. The only time I have an issue with it, are the days when I switch to a new tray during the day. It'll seem like the back molar doesnt fit quite well yet and it will sorta irritate my cheek.

Hi ! I have a similar situation . I'm very curious because I have 7 crowns on top too . How your dentist is able to move certain teeth on top without affecting crowns ?
Also I need to do my lowers , how much movement have u had so far ?
Do you feel Invisalign hurts or is easy to manage ? How long did they give you to straighten your bottom teeth ?

The crowns was the reason for doing invisalign. My ortho said using invisalign should damage the crown in anyway and moving the teeth, would be moving the tooth as a whole: crown + tooth.
My lower teeth are slowly moving. Im starting to see some minor movement. The gave me 33 trays for the bottom.
Being a college student is the hardest part about managing invisalign. But that could just be my schedule and life style.
