Started my Invisalign journey 2 days ago. It's been a lifelong dream to have straight teeth and I finally gathered the courage to do it. So far so good. I was afraid I wouldn't tolerate the material in my mouth but it's doable. AccelaDent helps tremendously, I used it yesterday for the first time. My schedule is to change trays every 3 days. I have 24 to go through though my orthodontist wants to see me at tray 22 so we can evaluate and see if/how many refinement trays I might need. I'll try to post pictures and updates once a week. Good luck to all who are starting treatment!

Who is your orthodontist?

I would ask the same thing because changing trays every 3 days sounds like a fast track to doing more harm than good...

AccelaDent has been great, there's no pain or discomfort. I guess I'll just have to wait and see about the final results.

your smile does look better. I would like to know in details about the over all procedure. I look forward to see your pictures and get inspiration from them.

Happy to provide details. I was terrified to start this journey thinking there's no way I can live with a piece of plastic in my mouth 24/7. No when I take my trays off, I feel like I am doing something wrong

Week 2

So I made it through my Invisalign journey week 1! 8 more to go before I see my orthodontist and 19 more trays. I changed to my 3rd trays last night. Can say it's definitely the most aggressive so far. As soon as I put them on I could feel exactly which teeth are being pushed. I have to take Tylenol at night but it's just once a day so I figured it won't hurt me to do it for a few months. This week I'll change trays again Wed night and Sat night. It's fascinating to compare trays, I think I'm getting obsessed:) anyways, posting some pics, will write again in a week.
Congratulations on taking this step for yourself. Your smile looks nice already, so I'm sure after treatment it will be amazing. Please do share updates and photos so you can track your progress over time!
