Lesley, If I were you I would just mention it to my orthodontist at your next visit. Like you, I assumed that my teeth would move around a bit before they were brought to their correct place. I didn't say anything about the problems I was experiencing until I was in my last tray and realized that my...

Yes, I was in invisalign for 6 months, and it messed up my bite. None of my molars were touching when I finished my treatment (and they were touching before). So, I am now in ceramic braces for a year. I was very disappointed. The invisalign straightened my teeth, but gave me more problems than I ha...

I had two speedbumps on the inside of my top front two teeth. Well, one of them never stayed on (they tried 3 times to put it on, and it kept falling off). After getting used to them, they were OK.

So there is another who has not had success with Invisalign! It seems strange to me that my orthodontist did not tell me from the start that there was a possibility that invisalign would not work. But at least he is not charging me any more for the ceramic braces. He told me that really the only way...

Thanks Rooroo for the information and the support. I am hoping that I won't have to wear the braces too long. The orthodontist didn't give me an estimated time. My experience with Invisalign has not been bad. Other than the soreness for a couple of days with each new tray, it hasn't been that bad. A...

Unsuccessful Invisalign

I have completed my Invisalign treatment (6 months and 13 trays). While the invisalign corrected the problem I originally had with my front teeth, it created a problem in my bite that I did not have before. Now none of my molars meet. My orthodontist explained to me that this is still a new technolo...
