I've always wanted to get braces but my parents couldn't afford them. Now that I'm older, married and with two beautiful kids i didnt want the metal braces. I decided to go with clear correct. I had phase 0 for two weeks and today I got phase 1a. The doctor decided to shave a little of my bottom side tooth to create room for my teeth to move. I will see them in 6 weeks from today and he will do the same the the other side of my teeth, and put 5 engagers. Phase 0 was uncomfortable just to have as I wasn't used to having anything in my mouth. I did get some sores but everything went away within the first week. Now phase 1a is much tighter and defenetly is sore from where he created space between teeth. I will do my best to update every 3 weeks and post pics. I'm so excited.

Hi! I just started my process recently too I'm halfway through 1B. It's nice to see reviews of other newbies too :) good luck! I found that the soreness only lasted 3-4 days at most and your teeth quickly adjust

Hi! How awesome! This Friday will be 1 week with 1a my teeth have adjusted also. I noticed that they are not tight anymore I can take them off with my tongue. I don't know if this is normal though! Two more weeks and I'll post another pic with 1b. Good luck to you too!

I've read reviews from others saying that the tray can get pretty lose. For me, since I have 2 teeth that stick out, my tray tends to hang on just fine and I need to use the outie tool to remove my tray every time. But yea after a few days it just feels like a retainer.

Do you know how long your treatment will take until you have the results you want?

All the best! I'm on tray 4. The real deal is when they add attachments.

So yesterday I got 5 buttons and trays 1C and 1D. I haven't noticed much difference besides flossing easier. These are a lot harder to take off, almost feels like I'm taking my own teeth out.
