have performed a invisalign in London procedures on many clients the aesthetic qualities are certainly much better than traditional braces.

haha, you’re so funny. I’ve left my aligners out overnight once as well (took out my aligners for my wedding and left them at my parents’ house) and the dull ache it caused for the next few hours was more than enough to discourage me from ever doing it again.

Glad to see you are still blogging (so many of the others that started out at the same time as us are finished – I’m so jealous!) and that your treatment is going well. I am still plugging along with tray 7/23 refinements at the moment. Take care.

Hi there,
My overjet was apparently between 8-9mm when I started treatment. I think it is down to more like 3-4 currently and improving every day.

I think for me the most important thing was finding a suitably experienced Invisalign orthodontist. Is your orthodontist very experienced in Invisalign? If not then perhaps you should also seek other opinions. i had several before I started treatment.

Thanks for reading, good luck with making your decision. I don’t have a single regret about choosing Invisalign.

Hey, I’m still debating between getting invisalign or braces but you’re before and after pics are definitely swaying my opinion. I had braces as a kid so my teeth are not in that bad a shape despite some crookedness and overcrowding due to not wearing my retainer. For aesthetic purposes an orthodontist told me Invisalign would work. I do have a pretty bad overbite though and she doesn’t believe it will help with this. how many mm was your overbite when u started treatment?

Only found your blog today. Verrrrry informative. Am due to start a 30-tray treatment on 25th February so was looking for experiences – particularly about attachments as I’m to have some on my 2 front teeth and am feeling a bit nervous (vain?) about this. However, your pics and words make me feel it’s all worth it.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the message and thank you so much for pointing out that my archives weren’t working, hopefully it is fixed now… please let me know if you still can’t see them.

I have a very experienced orthodontist, some of the others said too that this couldn’t be done, but my ortho reckons that he can now do almost anything with Invisalign that he can with normal braces.

I had 17 upper and 34 lower trays, plus 6 extra upper refinements so far. Those weren’t for the expansion, more because I had a front tooth that didn’t quite rotate enough (and is still being a little stubborn)I wore each one for 2 weeks so I am a year in thus far. Much of that time was spent on the fact that I need to make room for a tooth on the bottom that grows out of line with the others and it needs a lot of space to move into place.

I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever about Invisalign, and would have no hesitation in recommending it with the proviso that I would only go with an experienced provider, and also that I prefer an orthodontist to a dentist.

Thanks again for reading.

Disregard the question, my computer was acting up before. I see your course was 17 trays. That’s not too bad, hope i can get away with as few.

Hello and happy New Year! Your teeth are looking great – the expansion of your upper arch is nothing short of amazing!

My case is somewhat similar to yours in that I need to have my arch expanded. Though not as extreme as yours was, my arch is constricted, my teeth definitely don’t fill out my smile and the back ones seem to fade away when viewed front on. I’m lucky in that i don’t have any crowding issue, or rotated teeth. So, i’m hoping my case will be pretty straight forward – start in Feb.

I’ve been a little concerned about how well invisalign would be at expanding the arch – one dentist told me it can’t be done with invisalign, only traditional braces. My current dentist, who has a lot of exp. with invisalign disagrees. The differing opinions have left me confused. And I haven’t seen too many cases where an arch expansion was done to any great degree. But, i’m very thankful to come across your blog and see you’ve achieved fantastic results doing exactly that! It is a great relief to know that i won’t be wasting many thousands of dollars. So thank you for the information!

I can’t view some of your older archieved stuff so, don’t have your complete history. And was wondering how many trays (and how long per tray) did it take to expand your arch? Just trying to get a feel for what i’m in for.

Thanks again for the blog!
