Invisalign part 2 - My Treatment & Initial Thoughts

My treatment:

I first got my Invisaligns in February 2012 and was told that my treatment should last around 7months.
Invisalign sent 14sets each to be worn for two weeks. but over the course of my treatment, in between finding time to visit the dentist and having to have an elastic to speed up the movement of one tooth, my treatment will be closer to 8 or 9 months.

so if you are getting it done, don't just divide the amount of retainers by two to get how many months you will have to wear them for. Add maybe 1-2 months to this time.

you can see the projected results of the treatment below.

Invisalign - Introduction, What are they??

As some of you may know, a few months ago i finally took the plunge and got Invisaligns.

I have never had braces or any dental work done as my teeth really aren't that bad and I could never justify spending all that money and time on fixing a few problem teeth.

I was been looking into Invisaligns for about  a year before i actually went ahead and got them. I spent so long umming and ahhing because of the price and also the relatively small amount of information on the net about them. It was so hard to find before/after pics, pricing and testimonials, Because they are still a relatively new product and i was a bit sceptical about how well they would work.
