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.

The process is going well. I am on tray 14 of 23 upper and 26 lower. I see results but there is still a lot of movement to be done.
A bit dissapointed about IPR gap that was made before treatment that is still there.
Meeting my ortho on thursday to discuss this.
The worst part and side effect I experienced so far is my lips. They are extremely dry, have had a lot of difficulties. Tray 14 has been the worst so far. I soak them in water and listerine and brush the trays before putting them in first time.
Still my lips are irritated, dry and cracked on the sides. I have tried everything but it doesn't get any better. Almost looks like a rash but I guess it is because I need to stretch my mouth when I remove/insert the trays.

7/5
I am on tray 11 out of 23 upper and 26 lower.
I started seeing a slight change rather early in the process, probably on tray 5. Still not so much discomfort, the worst is 2-3 days of a new tray.
The worst part so far are my dry and cracked lips, I wear chapstick 24/7.
I have 6 buttons on my lower, so far so good the only downside is that its more difficult to get the trays off.
I can see a change so far (even friends and family point it out) and I am very happy with my choice. Will be posting pictures later in the process :)

24/12. I changed to my second trays yesterday...
24/12.
I changed to my second trays yesterday. My first set of trays were pretty loose after one week. And they looked absolutely disgusting, I felt it was very hard to keep them clean. I have to agree with some reviews on the fact that toothpaste makes it even worse. I just bought Cortega dental tabs and I hope these will help me keep the trays clean.
I am already used to the trays and I hardly think they show but some people have been asking me if I have something in my mouth. At first I was very self conscious but now I just feel great about getting my teeth straight, don't feel that it is something to be ashamed of.
My second tray was tight as the first one. I can't help feeling a bit worried since I hardly feel any pain and I'm wondering if this is normal? My orthodontist told me that Invisalign is less painful than regular braces but this feels a bit odd.
The soreness appears when I take out my trays to eat but it goes away. I hope something is happening with my teeth!
