I finished my Invisalign last year, and it was SO ANNOYING but I’m so grateful to myself for putting up with it. Totally agree that it was uncomfortable pretty much the whole time. I had a lisp throughout the entire process! And 12 buttons on all my center front teeth!! I would absolutely never do it again-which is why I’m now the most dedicated nightly retainer-wearer ever hahaha

I feel like invisiline would be a great diet for me 😂

[@Sariine436]

@Amna S I already spent 6,000 dollars on my traditional braces for 2 years and my ortho was rushing the process and gave me Tmj. I just found out about Damon braces and they are 6,000 for 3 years,!!!!! I left my ortho because he was just money hungry and made my treatment longer because he didn't extract my teeth in the beginning of the treatment and them he did extractions which takes really long. I'm never gonna take my children to an orthodontist I'ma make sure they mew.

[@Sariine436]

@@toast2139 they would extract teeth for that and give the patient an unhealthy bite same as traditional but the bite would be good and they will both mess around with the jaw joints. But functional orthodontist would push the teeth and not do extractions

This is a great video!! I am 58 and just finished with my Invisalign. I had to wear mine for 18 months!!!! I agree with everything you said.

So glad you didn’t do smile direct club! I work at an orthodontist office and even with Invisalign, the doctor actually does do all the work, not just the Invisalign company. Send the scan off yes, but they are the ones actually using their billion years of school to write the Rx saying exactly what they want done, edit clinchecks, placement of attachments yadda yadda. Here are the tiers: untrained dental street peddler, smile direct club, a regular dentist and wayyyyyy on the top your licensed orthodontists 🤗

[@inaguo727]

Laura Selecki x

[@b11rgen]

so true! my orthodontist completely changed what invisalign actually sent and updated it!

[@SR77736]

My mom got it and it worked very well for her.

[@Jmitch767]

Omg I am experiencing the same thing. It’s the most annoying thing having these in your mouth all day long

[@uria702]

That’s completely subjective. For many people, who tend to have mild to moderate spacing or crowding, smile direct club would give results very similar to Invisalign. There are situations where that isn’t the case, but that’s not every case. There are also tons of people who can’t afford Invisalign or braces and SDC is a chance for them to feel better about themselves. Of course an orthodontist is preferable. That’s like saying a Mercedes is preferable to a Chevy, but not everyone needs or can afford a Mercedes. Having $6k to spend on your teeth is a luxury many people can’t afford. Byte and sdc are making it attainable for people who would otherwise not be able to their teeth

[@delaneypotter1892]

It's so crazy how everyone has different experiences! I'm on my tray 13 and I love my invisalign! I found that if washing them was inconvenient for me at a certain time, I would just rinse the tray, and my mouth. My trays were not painful for me either, sometimes I would feel some pressure but nothing unmanageable. I also never had a lisp, the first 2 days I had invisalign it felt so bulky, but I got used to it super quick and now I don't even feel it! The attachments really help to fasten the process. One thing I would say is that I never wore a lipstick that wasn't nude, because it would get on my teeth at times. I hope it helps someone to have a second opinion! My experience has been a great one.

[@ct23246]

I’m super late to this video, but it was really helpful to hear about your experience! I’m planning on getting Invisalign done in the very near future and will also be getting a top and bottom permanent retainer at the end. But I have actually had a permanent top retainer for 15+ years (from early childhood braces) and I rarely notice it. Sometimes it’s annoying if food gets stuck in it, but it’s otherwise unnoticed. I’d definitely recommend a top (and bottom, maybe I wouldn’t be getting Invisalign now) permanent retainer for anyone getting braces, Invisalign, etc.

This was super helpful! My 11yo daughter is getting braces in a few weeks & the ortho said she could get Invisalign or traditional braces & I thought she’d want Invisalign for cosmetic reasons but she was really worried about having to take them on and off at lunch/gross spitiness in front of her friends/etc so she was leaning towards the traditional & it sounds like that will be the right choice for her!

[@leighannsays]

im so glad it was helpful!! braces were definitely the right choice (idk if invisalign was even a thing haha) for me at that age. eating with braces can be messy but luckily a lot of other kids will be going through the same things and she wont have to waste her lunch time brushing her teeth and messing with trays.

[@lindamaturesass]

I just put a paper towel in front of my mouth. Not a problem.

[@ArielRenee21]

My orthodontist wants me to wear them even when I eat and drink because she said she sees better results when people leave them in alllllllll day

[@itsGINA11]

leighannsays so which would you say is more annoying actual braces or the invisalign? ide imagine you always feel the braces in your mouth etc.

[@kzimmerman2211]

ArielRenee21, How could you possibly leave them in when you eat? I don't see how it would be possible to successfully chew food unless you ate nothing but soup. The aligners make your teeth smooth. How could you chew? Food would get up in the aligners. Hard foods would crack the aligners.

Hey girl! I've been thinking about getting Invisalign recently. Now that it's been around 2 years since you were done with your process, would you still recommend it? I noticed on the before/after photos you posted on this video that you had two little metal things behind your front teeth (up and bottom). Was that to avoid having your teeth move in the future?

[@justforthelulz93]

Hello there, I am an Orthodontist Assistant! Unfortunately, the tray staining just comes from the saliva. There isn't a whole lot that you can do differently to prevent it. The only thing I recommend my patients not to do on Invisalign, Clear Correct, or clear retainers is use a whitening toothpaste or any sort of toothpaste that is abrasive. It scratches the trays and they become cloudy and look gross. So glad you had a good experience, and your teeth look great!

I love it when I take them out for coffee drinking & my 3 meals a day. I do wear them 22 hours, but it feels so good when I remove them since it gives my teeth a break. They don't hurt, and my teeth do feel sore often, but nothing unbearable. I will stick it out however, & I expect a good result in the end. I know it will be worth it. (10 more months)

[@labamba23]

For those contemplating getting a permanent retainer I would say get it because it helps your teeth retain there new position and you don't need to wear your removable retainer nearly as much.For cleaning buy piksters they are so dam helpful ! They are basically little brushes that fit in between your lower teeth to remove any food that gets stuck.

[@kleptomelly]

I had a lot of similar experiences and reasons for getting invisalign. I had braces in junior high, my back teeth shifted after getting into my retainers. We adjusted those teeth but then my retainers didn't fit anymore. I should have had New ones made, but i was told I only needed them for 2 years after anyway. About 15 years later I got the invisalign. I had mine for 2 years and have been in my retainers for about 6 months. It was so worth it and I thought much easier to deal with than traditional braces. After insurance mine cost about $4000, and that was with coverage from 2 insurance plans.

[@routerryu]

Thank you for this video, perfect timing as I get my first trays in 2 weeks! But what about kissing....? And now with the permanent retainers....does Grant notice? Sounds silly, but I just can't imagine dating or starting a relationship while struggling with Invisalign. I'll take straight teeth and single for a year....just wondering how you handled it?

Your teeth really do look better! Your top teeth don't look that different, but the bottom teeth really do look better.

How was the long -term? I see this video is from 2 years ago . Wondering how your teeth are now ?

[@nefelikousi9782]

Totally agree. Additionally, at least for me, it does not matter if you drink coffee or tea with them on. It makes them a bit yellow but really who cares? I used to play by the rulles for the first 5 days after getting each tray and then think "is the mild yellowness worth the truble?" and got my coffee.

My teeth were always very straight and now as an adult, I'm experiencing crowding and my bottom four teeth are being pushed together. It's gotten pretty bad, so I am considering invisalign. Really glad I found this video.

Lillie Renee same. Mine started migrating really noticeably after I got my wisdom teeth taken out and it’s annoying. I feel like everyone can see it lol
