$4,621
So after months or reading reviews, opinions, general research I have finally ok'd my clin check and will be recieving my first trays next Wednesday!
The process so far has been honestly perfect. I had to reach out to a new dentist for this treatment and the practice has been so friendly informative and made the process comforting.
He has explained virtually everything I have read in terms of pros, cons, pains etc.
As previously mentioend I have reseasrched a lot into this treatment, as I am only 20 spending £3500 on this doesnt come lightly as you can expect!
I will need 14 trays and after the treatment my dentist has explained and assured me of certain aspects of my teeth that I will still need to sort (ridges, bumps etc)
Throughout my journey I will try to do as many updates as possible :)

1st Tray 1st Day!
Yesterday evening I went to the most exciting appointment yet! I picked up my first 2 sets of trays!
The appointment went really well, he had to do some IPR on my front tooth (which I'd been previously informed of) Slighlty uncomfortable but I was just excited to start so I didn't really care!
He showed me how to put them in and take them out, made sure I was able to do it myself.
Initially I was like ok... this isn't invisible... but this was also with a mirror, dentist, light very close to my mouth. Once I left the dentist I kept checking and looking and they look so impressive.
I've now had the first trays in for 15 hours. I woke up and my teeth felt a bit weird.. pulled them out and brushed my teeth which was slighlty uncomfortable. This morning I have also discovered I have a slight lisp.. Not too obvious but noticiable to people that know I'm going through this treatment!
There's not much to update on, but I'm just so excited to start to see progress (not excited for my attachments in a month+ time)
Also one last note was that my dentist mentioned that they have recently changed the retainers and the edges are smoother, praying for everyone that had theres before because I still think they dont feel smooth!

First 24 Hours with Invisalign
24 hours with Invisalign....
Well to be honest its now been 1 1/2 days and I would not say it's a walk in the park but It's 10x better than expected. I think a lot of reviews on here have prepared me for the worst and I had expected it to be a lot harder and I'm therefore so glad it's been this easy so far!
I have noticed as time is going on that the more I talk the more I'm irrating my tongue etc and as soon as I remember its in my mouth my lisp becomes worse. I feel like its just going to be a case of my lisp slowing dissapearing (cross fingers), aching teeth for the first week, trying to stop running my tongue around the edges.
So far I've had no comments about the brace unless I've mentioned and they've gone "where, show me" and I've had to take it out to prove. My lisp is noticable but again I'm hoping this goes!
Excited to carry on this journey :)

Sounds like you're doing really well :) I'm on tray 6 of 26 and it definitely gets easier as time goes along - all the research definitely helped me and it's great getting support of people going through the same thing on realself. I'm not far away from seeing some changes and I think once that happens it will make any inconvenience worthwhile, so hang on in there and good luck!

I haven't had any noticeable pain and am really looking forward to the results. I have 24 trays but it'll fly by I'm sure :-) keep us posted!
