This is day 1 & Week 1 of my invisiline treatment. Im very excited. My orthodontic is very excited. He wants to prove that I'll be 100% satisfied with the final look. I can't wait. There are a few orthodontics that will make you feel like there is no hope for you with the invisiline but that's because they aren't they familiar with them and haven't had much experience with them. Find a ortho that specializes in them. I did.

It is not usual to feel pain for over a week from a tray. It does happen, though, and I think the size of your diastema may be the culprit. I'm guessing that the severity of the pain will not be as bad as this first tray in the future. Generally, our community members find the first few days of each tray more painful, and the amount of pain tends to decrease as your teeth get looser throughout the treatment.
I forgot to ask--how long will your treatment be, and how many trays have you got?
Oh, and, unfortunately, once you get your attachments, the pain tends to be worse for a while. Some people take an OTC pain medication if the discomfort gets unbearable.

They only gave me two week. I go back for my attachments and then they'll give me more. I was told a total of 18 months. I caw imagine going thru this pain for that long. We'll see how it goes at the teeth gets closer. Right now my two front teeth are in the worse. I afraid to get the attachments if it's going to be any more worse than what it is.

Have you tried taking some over-the-counter pain medication? I hate hearing that you're in that much pain and for so long :(. Perhaps your orthodontist can give you advice on what you can take?

The first week I was popping pills like crazy. This week I was just going to try to deal with it as long as I could and wait til bed time to take any meds. I don't want to take to much. I heard gargling with warm salt water works also so I'll take something and gargle before bed

Wow, this is so great that you are doing this for yourself! I, too, have gaps. You inspire me that it can be done. :-)

Yes! You can do it. The first week was the hardest. The second week there was only pain the first day. Thursday I go into week 3. We'll see how that goes. I guess just getting your teeth to start shifting initially is where most of the pain begins. Once they start shifting the pain isn't so bad. Good luck with your invisalign.

I'm excited I just started on Mar 10th and I start my second tray on Mon Mar 24th. I'm having major saliva all the time, the bubbles in the trays. My teeth are sore eating softer foods now.

How long is the interval between change of the new tray.. My orthodontic said it will change every two weeks..

Attachments added. They hurt only the first day. They gave me whitening to do at home every other day. I'm still not seeing any results yet. Just happy the pain doesn't last all week like it did the first week

Are they really only charging you $2200 for treatment????!!!! I was quoted at $6700 for invisalign!
March 22, 2014
Actually no. I need to change that. My insurance covered most of it. I only had to pay $1300 out of my pocket.
March 22, 2014
@Fuschia--let me know the amount and I'll update it for you in your review :)
@Jannstar--don't worry, the prices vary tremendously. I paid $7k for a much easier case than yours. :)

@TwoPlusOne $1500 out of pocket with insurance. Without insurance I believe it wouldn't been around $4000
March 22, 2014
We use the full price for the treatment cost so I changed it for you. It's good if you clarify how much you cover and how much insurance covers in your review/comments, though, like you have :).

You go with the pink glitter lipstick!
And yeah, if you saw results at 3 trays, I'd be flabbergasted! Most people it's between 8 and 10 trays. How many trays will you have in all? Did I miss that in your review?

In the beginning I was told 36 weeks but then later they said it will definitely be longer. About 18 months
