I have switched to tray # 6 one week ago when I felt a slight pressure on the top front teeth. No major changes in the teeth alignment so far (however, comparing the 1st aligner with the 5th one, I could see an improvement on the top 2 front teeth - which seem to be rotated in the right direction). In 1 week I'll be on the half of the treatment - time flies really quickly :). Starting with Tray#9 I will have some IPR done to make room for the bottom teeth. Keep the fingers crossed! I'll come back with some new photos in the near future when I truly hope the changes will be much more visible.

Thanks so much for posting pictures for us!! How are you doing with your trays now that you have had a little more time to get used to them?

Thanks for this post. Im afraid, but your teeth look just fine to me. So I see that people change trays. Do you mind posting a pic with the tray on so that I can see how it looks? Im in the process of finding me a dentist for invislign treatments

Thanks for your nice words. I have posted a photo with the trays in, hope it will help you to figure out how the teeth will be looking once you will decide to go with Invisalign. So far (~5 weeks) no noticeable changes in my case. I am looking forward to the next set of aligners :)
I can see that the major problem is severe bottom crowding. Top, except for the tiniest degree of minor crossover of your central incisors, looks pretty good. I suspect you will be ready for an upper retainer much sooner than on the bottom.

Speaking of crowding, did you read about that little boy in India who had to have over 500 teeth removed? People are talking about genetics & mutations, but I suspect that he may have been conceived as one of dozens of fertilized eggs that his mother's ovaries released simultaneously--and he was the only one who wasn't a "blighted" ovum, yet instead of the others being expelled, much of their tissue was absorbed by his. Sometimes, a "teratoma" is found in a uterus or other organ--and the tumor contains hair, teeth & bone, from a twin or more embryos that didn't survive and were absorbed by the one that developed into a fetus who survived full term.

It certainly sounds like you put a lot of thought and consideration into this choice, so congratulations on getting started! Are you finding it hard to wear the trays for the full 22 hours, or has that been ok for you?

Thank you for the welcoming message :) This website really helped me in terms of pros and cons of wearing Invisalign - thus I have started my own Invisalign experience. As regarding your question, it's definitely not an easy job wearing the aligners for 22 hours - I am always in a hurry when eating, counting every minute I am not wearing the aligners. The positive thing is that I am more organized now with the meals, no more chips and Coke all day long (I am proud I've managed to stay away from these "distractions" in the last 3 weeks). So far, I have tracked every day's "progress", writing down how many hours I worn the trays- an average would be 22.5 hours/day :))

Whoa, you are even getting in an extra half hour - good job!! That is nice that it kind of forces you to stay away from excess snacks...I say as I chomp on my crackers and drink my cocoa...hmm, maybe I should get some trays. ;)

Looking forward to hearing how you are doing as you move forward with your treatment!
