Started #8 last night.

WORTH IT$2,500
I can see a good difference in my smile, but number 8 is a bit painful. Day one is always a sore one. The pictures compare tray 1 and 8. Tray 1 is starting to yellow from being out... ew.

The movement is really obvious in the trays.  Is it equally obvious in your teeth?  Thanks for the update!!

Tray # 1 and 7 side by side.

Retainer #1 is on the right side and #7 on the left. You can see the v shape on the two front teeth are straightening out and the two teeth on the side are moving forward. I don't start #7 until next week.

Woooow!  It's super obvious in the trays!  So exciting :D
Curious as to how long went by between high school braces and teeth movement? I didn't have braces prior to invisalign, but a have a few HS friends that are now doing invisalign after they had braces then. It's been about 6 years in between then, which to me is a very short time for things to noticeably move around that much! But they're actually happier post invisalign treatment than regular brace treatment.
That is a really good question!  I want to know, too :D.
I got the braces off at 16 and I'm 25 now, but my teeth have been messed up for a few years now. I noticed it was getting worse by the year so I decided to take care of it before I would've needed a full invisalign set or wear braces again. Bottom teeth moved so little it isn't noticeable, but the top front teeth started to get crowded.

Hi!  It's a little hard to compare with the different angles on all the pics :).  Do you see any progress?  With regular invisalign it'd be very early, but since you have so few trays in all, I wouldn't be surprised if you're seeing something...
