Well I just started my treatment and everything is fine and dandy. Let me fill most of you in with my knowledge of Invisalign and how it's working for me. I've done my homework before even considering this treatment.

1. Depending on your case, this treatment takes less time the traditional braces. My teeth aren't the prettiest and I'm going to be done in about 10-11 months.

2. There are many, many successful cases out there. http://www.dentistry.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forum...s&number=11

3. Plain and simple: There is no possible way to move teeth without a little discomfort. I read someone complaining about wearing them 21 hrs a day. Duh! Traditional braces you wear 24/7. At least you can take the aligners out to eat anything you want, and to brush correctly. Also no one even knows that I have them in.

4. Invisalign or braces, you still need to wear some sort of retainer after treatment. They both move teeth and afterwards are going to want to move back. If you don't want to wear a retainer at night(while you're sleeping so inconvenient?) get a permanent wire attached behind the teeth like I'm going to be getting.

5. Yes they can get a little gross, but you have to keep them clean! Take them out, brush them once in a while. Try digging the food out from Traditional Braces.

6. And the people mentioning about it being bad for your teeth? Huh? That's just a silly statement.

In closing, I would recommend Invisalign to anyway. It is well worth it. If you're too lazy to keep up with the maintenance then get the railroad tracks.

Good day :)
