Just got Invisalign!

WORTH IT$4,500
I'm 30 years old and I just got Invisalign. I didn't have a perfect smile, and I thought, who cares? Just do it. I was scared for the longest time (still am), but you can't say you did it, until you do it. My treatment will be about 12 months. So I'll be 31 with a great smile. That was my motivation.
Pros - It's only 1 year out of your life. So what? It should go by fast... I think back about everything that happened this past year, and if I had Invisalign, it wouldn't have been all that bad. A year goes by faster than you think.
Cons - well, it's still in your mouth all day. 22 hours per day. I'm talking slightly funny but hoping it goes away soon.

Even more pics! With Tray 1 in Mouth

I've got, idk, maybe 11-12 attachments along my side teeth (none on my frontals thankfully!). Attached are pics of my jaw, open and closed mouth, to see how my overbite changes =)

It will go by fast, though not as fast as it would if you were 40 ;). Are you going to post pictures so we can follow your progress? Also, remember that sometimes the treatment takes less time than expected, but often it takes a little longer, as you are given refinement trays. How many aligners have you got, anyway? I never got over the speech difficulties, but they were very, very slight after a while. Most people could not notice. I look forward to following your progress!
Sweet! I see lots of crowding. I can't tell--is your lower arch bigger than your upper arch, or was that just the camera angle? I'm guessing you'll start feeling the movement in your two upper incisors and the four lower first. Have you got (or will you get) attachments? I don't see too much rotation needed--mostly spacing. I'm very curious! I'm trying to learn something but dental stuff is so hard! Anyway, great pics! You might want a full-on side view both open-mouth and closed, for your own records, so you can track your bite and the movement of those two front teeth. :)
I look forward to it! :D
I see you figured out how to change the title! Makes a lot more sense now ;)
