Great Orthodontist with Saturday hours
WORTH IT$3,300
I am starting on tray # 4 on Monday. I only need a total of 9 trays for my Invisalign Express. So far the experience has been great! I was a little worried because I have read some horror stories about trays not fitting, extreme pain,and filing of trays due to trays causing mouth sores. I have never had any of these things happen fortunately. Maybe my orthodontist does a really great job of taking the impressions which would be important. Also, I paid a great price, Only about $3,300 because I got it on special. My Ortho runs many specials. Right now It is $500 off, low payments and a take home whitening kit Tuesday July 23rd 4-7 PM on Invisalign night.
Invisalign had been very convenient. I do a check up once a month and leave with two sets of trays. When I come in to get my next two, the ortho checks the progress to see if I am where I need to be. She answers all of my questions, has flexible hours, even Saturday hours and sometimes she even answers the phone herself. I am very fortunate I chose the correct ortho.

First 2 weeks coming to an end, Time to change to a new aligner tomorrow
Well, I felt like the aligners were uncomfortable more than anything else. My lisp is pretty much gone. I was worried about my lisp because I talk on the phone for work all day. Second, the maintenance of cleaning teeth and aligners and flossing quickly after eating and putting them back on was kind of annoying, but at least they did not hurt like when I had braces.
I found since I drink things all day, coffee, etc, I was not wearing the aligners enough. Since I cannot give up drinks all day, and I want Invisalign to work I have been drinking with them in. ( I am drinking pink lemonade right now with them in) I just wash them really well, rinse in denture cleaner and then electric toothbrush them with water everytime I take them out. They are pretty clean/clear still. Plus since I change them every two weeks they will not get too bad. I get to change to new aligners tomorrow. :)
I started making sure I was wearing them 22 hours, and decided to not take them out even though I was drinking because I really wanted them to work. 1. They cost a lot and 2. I believe in them now that I am seeing results. I see new spaces in between my bottom teeth where there is crowding. It is easier to floss and I really am liking it. I am a believer and want to have the best possible results so I will leave them in more and just clean them better. PS. I am always thirsty but do not like water :(

Great progress! I drink with mine in too. I have too many early mornings to go without coffee or tea or something. But I try to use a straw. And when I can't do that I just make sure to clean the trays really well. So I'm not the only one ;)

So glad I am not the only one too. :) Luckily I like my coffee with a lot of milk so I could use a straw. Maybe I'll even switch to iced coffee as well.

I am getting used to the discomfort. There is no pain but the best way to describe it is I feel like I have jolly ranchers on my teeth.
I talk on the phone for work so I am fighting the lisp and trying to sound normal.
I like to drink coffee all day and now I cannot do that. Yesterday I left them off for too long. I would say I wore them for 15 hours. I had them off for a few hours during morning coffees and last night when I got to restaurant while eating until after I could get home to brush my teeth and put them back on.
I am not going to let it get to me. I will just try to wear them for 23 hours for the next week or so to make up for it. One day at a time....
