Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

Week 6:
I went in today to get my 4th - 6th set of trays... My dentist examined my gums and asked how everything was going. He reminded me to wear them as close to 22 hours as possible. I then was handed my new set of trays and placed then in and I was on my way (I set another 6 week appointment/check up, he only gives me 3 trays at a time).
I do know that only 10 sets of aligners have been made, which makes me feel confident that my desired results will be reached. I will be getting another mold done of my teeth prior to the next phase to ensure the best results.
I went to a get my cleaning 3 weeks ago and at that time he reattached one of my attachements that had fallen off and proceeded with a cleaning, and also rounded out my attachments. My teeth overall feel great! My front teeth show improvement already. The main problem is that one of my top teeth was pushed inward and it really bothered me. I've compared my old trays with the new ones and noticed the slight movement of that particular tooth which makes me happy:) I have a mild case and expect a great outcome.
I realize that some people have had negative experiences with invisalign, but that goes for every procedure that's ever been done... ever! Getting cavities is really all I am concerened about since I've only had superficial ones. I do have sealant on my teeth which has helped my avoid getting cavities up until now... I try to rinse them out frequently and always rinse, floss and brush... even if I haven't eaten... it keeps me feeling fresh :)
I am going to invest in a bleaching session after.. I think that's the way to go... as a matter of fact my cousin is also using invisalign and her dentist threw in the bleaching for free!
Sweet deal!

So I am on my second week now... I've had a few beers while my aligners were in, I've removed them while snacking and drinking at a party for a couple of hours and I've placed them in mouth wash while taking a shower and have put them in for an hour or so after eating a small snack until I found it convenient to floss/brush... I'm still alive everyone.. no big deal!... afterall they are only in for 2 weeks. I found that mouth wash and plenty of water has kept mine in great condition...get this..the mouth wash was blue and noooo they didn't stain them... still no pain but a button fell off during dinner yesterday, my dentist in on vacation so as soon as he comes back I'll go in and get it replaced...

I wouldn't say I had a bad case but there were a couple of teeth (upper) that were pushed in pretty bad and made me self conscious about smiling to my fullest. So I opted to get my wisdom teeth pulled (which was recommended for invisalign) and started my treatment yesterday 7/18/12. I was worried at first because I had read horror stories about the pain and overall experience, but fortunately I feel GREAT! It feels like I have my bleaching trays in... but I can tell that the molds are making me bite down with less of an overbite. The buttons are more uncomfortable when I take the liners out to eat, since they force me to bite down properly. Other than that, no big deal.. remove when I eat, brush, floss, rise and replace... I even drank my coffee this morning (a bit faster than my usual sipping).
I don't feel these liners pushing my two weird teeth out so perhaps with the next trays?
I'll keep you posted! Really I will...
