I have always wanted to fix my teeth. My 2 front teeth are too large and my other teeth aren't straight. I originally wanted to get veneers but heard about Invisalign and decided to go with that instead. My orthodontist is amazing and explained what would happen with my treatment. I need 17 aligners in total and will be getting my two front teeth shaved down to make them smaller.

Hi, and welcome to RealSelf!  I know I've seen someone else at Smile Solutions.  I'm gonna go check.

Yes!  I found her :).  brosegr is at Smile Solutions too, though she's far ahead of you in her treatment.  Are you also going to be using AcceleDent?  It seems everyone in Australia is going for that nowadays. :)  And we have a lot of other Aussies as well. Crooky24 and Sunluvva are the newest.

I hope you have time to look around and get to know others in the community!  And I look forward to following your progress :).  If you ever need any help with anything here, I'm the one to ask. :D

Hello! Thank you for the welcome message! I was looking at all these reviews before I decided to go ahead with it.The progress of everyone on here is amazing :) Yes I am using AcceleDent, it was $1400 or somthing from the orthodontist but I found one on ebay for $500 and just got the new mouth piece for $150 from them. Im only on day 2 so I wont know how good it isfor a while yet!

Oh!!!  I'm not laughing.  Just a little.  I actually tore one of my aligners trying to get it out after I'd gotten my attachments in, so I thought that was what you meant :).

Day 1 tray 1.. ohh the pain!

Alright so iv gotten though my first full day of invisalign! It has been really painful, all my teeth hurt and feel very tight, my mouth is slightly swollen and my lips and tounge are getting sore. BUT it will all be worth it. I have been taking pain killes however, they haven't been helping too much. I have found sucking on ice is really good and takes away a good amount of pain.

They are pretty hard to get out.. took about 10 minutes and a few tears the first time but I managed to get them out eventually!

Day 2 tray 1 - so much better!

Im up to day 2 tray one and I have never been so happy to be out of pain! They are much easier to take out and dont hurt much at all when I do remove them and put them back in. Its just feeling a little tight and rubbing against my bottom lip and tounge making it uncomfortable not painful!!

My orthodontist said I could drink anything with them on as long as it's not too hot. I have been having my morning coffee with them in and just rinsing my mouth out after. He may have said that becusse I am using AcceleDent and only wear the trays for 7 days so it doesn't matter too much if they discolour. I take them out for lunch and dinner and clean the aligners as well as my teeth really well as I am naughty and have a few cigarettes with them in.

On the first day I was in so much pain and couldn't take them out because the pain was so bad. I decided to have soup with them in because hay thats liquid.... I didnt look at the flavor and it was curried soup and my teeth went fluro yellow!!!!! I put the aligners in retainer brite when I got home and it removed most of the colour thank god! Wont be doing that again....

I think that AcceleDent thing is helping you, because one day of pain is short!  That's brilliant :).
