update on invisalign

#1 Post by buttercup »

im on my 8/10 upper and 8/24lower. so far, my uppers are moving accordingly and i always feel them moving the first 3 days so that's a good sign, but they dont look close to being 'perfeclty' straight . . although they are a LOT less crooked than before. and for my lowers, it's still too early to tell . anyway, i was at my docs office the other day and asked him if it'll be it after the 10th tray (since i've been reading into what people here are saying) . he told me invisalign offers a free redo to perfect your teeth. so that may be an additional 5 trays but you have to go through the remolding thing again. so that's a lot more time. . thennnn if it still doesn't work you get put in braces. he tol dme this happens 50% of the time. which i will guess he means 75% of the time. anyway, i had to go through purple mold crap in my mouth, teeth shaving (which i wasn't tol d of beforehand!) and having to resist eating/drinking when out with my friends cuz i'm too lazy to brush my teeth. But too late to regret now. i don't mind them that much actually and even though i MAY end up in braces, at least iwon't be in them for as long as i would hav without invisalign.
anyway ill update again when my uppers are 'done'
