I’ve got no real complaints so far. I do however, find myself noticing other peoples’ teeth and thinking that they should really get look into getting their teeth straightened.

My top aligner is in a parking lot. I’ve made it 11 weeks without losing them, but, I guess it was inevitable. While, a bathing suit holds the aligners better then a pocket, the Invisalign case is probably the best place to store them when you take ‘em out…

I’ve changed to my second set of aligners and will even let you see me pop the top ones in.  Switching to the second set reminded me of going to the orthodontist to get my braces tightened, except this was self inflicted.  Slightly painful, but the pain and pressure subsided within a day.

Its getting easier.  I’m adjusting my habits a little because of the Invisalign aligners. No one can tell that I’m wearing them, even after I tell them. Soooo much better then when I had braces as a teen.

Columbus Invisalign Dentist talks about the differences between Invisalign and metal braces.

Orthodontics is the term used for straightening teeth to a more ideal position to look  and function better.  Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic trays to accomplish this movement, while traditional braces uses metal wires to achieve the movement.

Both Invisalign and metal braces can be used to straighten your teeth.  The majority of patients choose Invisalign over metal braces because they don’t want the “metal-mouth” look.
