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.

Definitely felt a lot of movements on my lower jaw. The shape of my jaw has definitely changed now, I feel most of my teeth coming forward on my bottom jaw. Not sure if this is supposed to happen since when I was 13/14 I had jaw correction to push my lower jaw back and now I feel it coming forward. Slightly worried.

Still can't wear them for 22 hours, I'm averaging 20-21 hours. So I've now decided to wear them for an extra day longer to make up for the lost 1-2 hours each day.
I also started drinking coffee with them in in the morning, I wait for it to cool down. As for staining, I haven't noticed anything.
Worth pointing out that I am also getting my teeth whitened at the end.
Do they look any different to pic 1? They look quite similar still. Not too much movement - slightly on my bottom teeth but my top ones are my main concern

Tray 2
I've now finished my 1st tray!
The second week definitely got easier, most of my 1st week was uncomfortable and I kept struggling to take out and put in my aligner.
Still not used to having them in my phone, and still feel conscious and uncomfortable laughing with it on.
I've realised I cannot stick to 22 hours on, it is simply unrealistic for me. On average I do 19-21 hours. I'm going to make more effort to 22 hours but I think it's quite unrealistic for someone who eats 4 meals a day and also enjoys coffee.
I'm also speaking to ex invisaligners who are also coffee lovers like me and they mentioned they started drinking coffee with aligners in after few trays, simply because it would waste time taking it out.
I think to get my hours up from 19 to 20, I might try drinking warm but not hot coffee with them in, and rinsing immediately after. Because when I take mine out for morning coffee while at my desk working, I totally forget to put them in and realise an hour or two has already past!
I've also had 2 instances of going out with friends for drinks where I took them out for 5 hours ????
I need to work on having them in longer and feeling more confident, I didn't realise it would have such a knock on effect on my confidence.
Overall, my teeth have very slightly moved. My front overlapping tooth is definitely sore and I can see it has moved.
Starting to get a lot of black triangles appear but I'm not too bothered by them.
Overall, I'm unsure if my lifestyle of drinking and loving coffee and eating frequently is suited for Invisalign, I'm going to go through with it because it's too late to go back, but I definitely wish I considered other options such as lingual braces.
Nonetheless, eagerly looking forward to my teeth straightening soon!
