My teeth have already moved and excited for them to straighten more
Getting used to the Invisalign has become quite easy. At first I was a bit embarrassed but pretty much everyone (even strangers) have been really understanding when I’ve had to take them out/put them back in during public events/settings. I have an aligner container at work, in my everyday handbag and at home to make sure I always have one close by. I have forgotten the containers now and then when I’ve gone out if I’ve changed handbags etc but otherwise I’ve been pretty good. Haven’t lost any aligners yet! I would say wearing them for the amount of time needed is the biggest obstacle. You should really only have water while wearing your aligners and you’re meant to wear them 22 hours a day. So if you have breakfast and lunch and then you go out to a dinner where maybe you have a pre dinner drink, then some appetizers, then mains, then dessert you’re definitely not wearing them for the full 22 hours. So I try to put them back in between courses and only have non water drinks while eating.
It’s a small change but I have noticed if you do have them out for a while your teeth do move back quite quickly so it’s important to keep the aligners on.
The app which I scan my teeth through to show the doctors my progress also showed me a 6 month before and after the other day. I found this really exciting and watched it repetitively because there already was such a big difference. This made me aware how much my teeth had already moved and excited for them to straighten more.

Best decision ever!
I was really hesitant to begin with but I'm so glad I went through with the decision. I have noticed such a difference in my confidence levels as my teeth are almost straight and they were so overcrowded before. I haven't had many implications so far and I am almost all the way through.

Loving it
I've been self conscious about my teeth for years, in particular my lower teeth where due to overcrowding the middle lower tooth is pushed back. I get embarrassed with photos if I have my mouth open.
After a lot of hesitation, I bit the bullet and saw the orthodontist referred by my dentist. A few x rays and scans, I was given the go ahead. I was nervous but excited. I had numerous attachments put on my teeth, and found once the first set of aligners were put in, my gums were tender and taking the aligners out to eat was sore, this only lasted however for a few days. At the start I wondered what I had gotten myself into! But it definitely gets easier. I was aware for the first few weeks my speech changed slightly when wearing my aligners, but this has now stopped. I change aligners every two weeks. Now when I put in the new aligners it's only a little tender for about a day, nothing unbearable though.
I'm over half way through the treatment and I'm noticing a significant improvement.
Flossing my teeth is completely different, and my lower teeth are moving nicely to make way for the pushed out tooth.
Only negative is that you need to take out to eat/drink (unless it's water) so I don't really snack so much anymore. Also I take with me a toothbrush and floss picks in my bag if I'm out.
It is a little pricey. My orthodontist does offer payment plans or a discount if you pay upfront.
