How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Finally done
Took about 9 months more than I hoped. But pretty happy with the results.
4 month anniversary
So Ive had invisalign for 4 months and 1 day now. Teeth definitely feel rounder, but still jacked up. Overall the process has been easy. I havent felt any pain even on the first day, since tray 7. Im not sure if its due to the acceledent, or just because my teeth were already moving a lot the past 3 years (in a bad way) so this is all normal. Speaking of acceledent, changing trays out every week compared to two makes a huge difference psychologically. Knowing every wednesday night, I pop in a new number makes it so much easier to accept this long drawn out process; it almost feels like a payday. I never get to hung up on a tray, because its gone and on to the next before I know it. I cant even imaging still being on tray 8. Plus the funkiness that becomes the tray after 5 or so days. Definitely worth the extra $30 a month.
So next week I go in and get my next set of trays (18-?). Excited as according to my clincheck that ugly snaggletooth gets enough space and finally starts moving in at tray 20.
I have one question, I would assume I should of had some form of IPR done by now? I know the ortho has run a piece of what looks like sandpaper between some teeth a few times. Is that IPR? I expected some sort of drill from reading other reviews?

Lots of attachments
Went in today to get attachments put on. Went in pretty stoked about Invisalign so far and left feeling like I might as well have been on traditional braces from a purely cosmetic view. All my front top and bottom teeth got buttons, so there's really no hiding my aligners now, as those little plastic boxes are front and center whenever I open my mouth.
After all was said and done, some positive stuff is I received my acceledent and trays 3-10, which I'll be changing out every 7 days. Also got a link to the gif files of my projected movement. Looks like around tray 15, which is around the mid of January, if all goes well, is when my teeth may start looking normalish once again ;so excited about that. Will upload new box mouth pics later.
