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.

Finished
I am over the moon I have finally finished!
Start Date 04.06.14, End Date 01.03.15
43 weeks (10 months)
34 + 2 Trays
29 Weeks of Acceledent
I can safely say it has all been worth it in the end.
My dentist was fab! At my last visit he removed the attachments and also shaped some teeth and added some bonding on the chipped front tooth and another tooth that needed shaping.
I now have a fixed wire on both top and bottom and wear a clear retainer at night as well.
It is very tricky to floss with the brushes but I am sure I will get used to it.
I am sort of getting used to the fixed wire but don't think I will every 'forget they are there' which is what dentists say don't they!
I have another appointment in a few weeks as a follow up and think I would like 1 tooth (the canine) shaping a bit more to match the other side.
I am at the hygienist tomorrow, and then will start my whitening treatment on Wednesday which was included in my invisalign package.
This site has been amazing with support and tips, so thank you!

Week 40, Tray 32 - FIXED wire retainer
Well, I had my ortho visit last week, and have finished with the lowers. He did say I could be finished with the uppers, but I said I was not quite happy with one tooth, so gave me the 3 remaining trays to hopefully just push it in slightly.
Here is my issue, he fitted my fixed wire retainer on the lower, we didn't really talk about this it was just sort of decided so I went with it, however I am really not getting on with and don't think I will. I find food is getting stuck in it, I find it irritating, and when I take my retainer out (which fits over the fixed) I find I am touching it with my tongue all the time, and the thought of this FOREVER is killing me!
I have been told to wear the removable retainer all the time for 2 months, then every night.
I am really worried about getting the fixed on the upper as I am concerned it will effect my speech and will irritate me, after all my hard work with invisalign I want to fee free! I would wear the removable retainer every night and during the day at home when I can if it meant not having a fixed, I am going to talk to my ortho and ask for this thoughts, has anyone else been through this?
Thank you
