Yes it may be vein but having straight teeth for my wedding has always been something that's been important to me however, after having regular front fixed braces when I was 15, I really didn't want to go through those again- after all, I'm now 29 and with a career as a wedding planner, I didn't want client's meeting and judging me based on my braces.
My teeth are not terrible since my last brace sorted my bite but there's been a lot of movement meaning I have some overlaps.
My friend had Invisalign fitted and although her results are literally perfect, I'm just not dedicated enough to brushing my teeth after every snack and drinking only water while they were in just wasn't appealing.
My Orthodontist instead advised I should try Incognito. Since I only wanted the top teeth fixed (I don't smile with my bottom teeth seen at all) Invisalign Lite was perfect!
Being based in the UK has meant the process has been a lot longer to have the braces made in the US. It's taken about 3 months from my initial consultation to having my brace fitted but, after a one hour appointment and a little discomfort, it was on and I couldn't be more pleased!
I have a very slight lisp which none picks up unless you tell them and the pain only lasted for around 3/4 days just as my orthodontist said. You are limited to biting down on crunchy foods but if you can cut them up and push to your back teeth, you can eat anything!
I'll keep you posted on the results!

Sorry, the mid paragraph should read that I was recommended Incognito lite not Invisalign

I had lingual braces on for 16 months, against advice that I received prior....I still tried. Biggest mistake of my life! $8,000 later and my top teeth slightly moved before I couldn't stand the lingual braces any longer and had them taken off. Apart from the braces breaking and cutting my mouth at least once every couple of days, they are extremely painful and correct the teeth at a much slower pace. I wish I had listened initially! Now I am paying an additional 5K for traditional braces.

I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. I'm now around 3 weeks in to my treatment and still having no issues albeit any movement that can be seen as yet

Ok so I had Incognito light and was meant to be finished after a year... 2 years on and the brace is finally off!
I still feel the teeth could be more straight (there's little bumps when run finger/ tongue over) but maybe I'm just more picky now?!
