Hi guys,
I am on aligner 14 and am going to be getting speedbumps on my front four teeth
For those that have them - can people notice the aligners more? Also, can you see the bumps in pictures (when you have the aligners on)?
Thanks!

the speedbumps are not too bad. they do make the aligners a bit more noticable, and a bit harder to get on and off, but it will all be worth it in the end. here is a link to pictures of my aligners and attachments hope it helps

im confused why have they waited until tray 14 to put speed bumps on why not near the start of your treatment?
and chrisd why have you so many especially on the front, iam due to get 6 and they are all on the back teeth i guess im lucky i hope they dont say you need some on the front half way through my treatment

I'm not really sure why they waited - I guess the they need to move those teeth in the second set of aligners? I am happy I didn't have them at the beginning, though I kind of wish I was told earlier so maybe I could have requested not to have them, I am really dreading it! Oh well, in the end it will be worth it. Thanks for the replies.
