WORTH IT$5,200
I am 34 years old and have had a crowding problem with my teeth. I'm doing 36 Invisalign trays (2 weeks per tray). Today is my first day and they fit really well. My dentist did IPR treatment - which is a procedure used to create more space between certain teeth so they move better during treatment. It's not the most comfortable procedure but wasn't terrible either.
My first tray is snug and pretty comfortable. Looking forward to this journey!

First Few Days
I am getting used to wearing my trays and had to do a little minor filing of the edges due to some gum irritation. My dentist does offer a way to round the edges so if it continues, I'll speak with them about it. I think I should be fine now though - we shall see.
I can definitely feel the aligners doing what they do - which is pretty exciting.
Also noticing saliva bubbles trapped in the aligners but this has been decreasing.
So far, so good. Adjusting well overall.

Thanks for your review. I am up to tray 2 so we are close in treatment. I have started well also and are amazed how it all works. Even with tray 2 in I have noticed my back teeth moving as I get a lot of food in them now!!
I get my attachments this Wednesday, do you have yours yet?

You're welcome! I'm not far behind you...starting tray 2 on August 1st. Once I'm finished with that tray I'll go in for my next appointment and they'll put on the attachments. Most of my attachments are on the side teeth - upper and lower. Pretty exciting...really looking forward to seeing some movement. Good luck with your treatment and keep us all posted! :)

You got this. Congrats on starting your journey. Ask your Ortho about Acceledent. I am using it and it cut down my time in half. I change my trays once a week.. and I have 35 of them. On tray 23 now and I started in late February.
