Thought of a few other things after recording this video, so I'll definitely be doing a Part 2. Hope this is helpful, and thanks for your support!

Thanks Braces guy.. This video actually really helped. I just got my invisalign installed today and I was a little over whelmed... This made me feel better.

It's the instant lisp that i get when i wear my aligners that annoys me. :|

Invisalign past user here. I wish I would have watched videos like this prior to getting them.
It was an easy process but I definitely would have done things differently if I had to do it again.
No one mentioned the chewies until the very end to me. I also felt obligated to change it to next tray the day I was scheduled to, even if the next one felt too tight and painful. There’s no rush, but remember to wear every moment minus when brushing or eating. Last, I would have put more input in as the process went, instead of just trusting the process.

Love this video. Wish my ortho told me all of this. 29 year old patient here on tray 3. 30 total trays, weekly swaps.

Thank you for posting this video! The information you provided was incredibly helpful and it has given me lots to think about. I went through the invisalign process about 5-6 years ago now and I plan to do it again this summer because my teeth reverted back to their old positions. During my first invisalign process, I went through my dentist office. Each time I switched to a new aligner, my orthodontist took my previous aligner back and I wasn't able to keep them. Based on what you said in your video, they should have let me keep them, and I should have gotten multiple sets. Any ideas as to why they took them back? This is one of the reasons why I need to start again. I lost my last aligner on vacation and I didn't have any to fall back on. How can I avoid this with my next trial? I have a new orthodontist and I'm going to bring up my past experience but I'm still nervous. Is it possible to go through the invisalign company directly or is that option not recommended? Worst case scenario I'll travel to your practice since I live in Twin Cities metro area. Thank you again for your video, I enjoy watching your content and find everything entertaining and educational!

Thank you!!! I’m actually getting mine this morning! This really helped!

[AndyEmerson]

This was more info than I got from my dentist LOL

[karolynnnye]

I just started my Invisalign yesterday. Super excited to see my end result

[LemonJellyJ]

I has an oral surgery and had so much inflammation and pain that I didn’t wear my aligners for a week. My teeth moved a TON! I couldn’t even use the aligner I had been using before surgery; I had to go back to the previous one!

Thank you, very helpful information, I got my first alignment on today, hope won’t hurt that much 🤞

[SunnyGuitarTutorials]

Just got a quote from my orthodontist today, thank you so much this was very helpful!

Your thoughts on accelerating devices. At 63 it’s my turn (3 children ahead of me 😊)

September 3rd on Tuesday I'm going to get my first Invisalign on the dentist

Why do Invisalign cost vary so greatly between doctors if they’re using the same products? Also, one dentist told me it will take 6 months another one 18 months ? Why the discrepancy

[dirk]

With apps the receipt you get right away for the order and so does the customer, then you add a tracking for their order. This is service. Orthodontia is very expensive for most.

Awesome video I just had one quick question!
I have 27 aligners that I was given in my first refinement. I've checked all the way to the 27th aligner and my teeth appear to be straight and inline (I am treating a slight cross bite and crowded tooth issue). I was told that my treatment may take about 12 months. Personally, I do not care if I have a perfect smile just so long as my teeth are healthy and won't cause any issues in the future. So, if my teeth are straight and all health risks are out of the way, am I allowed to just request the nightly retainer and not go through the next refinement box? Or is it required that I do the next however many treatments?
Thanks again for such a great video!

[dannyhammel]

Thank you vey much. Very helpful information. I’m on day 2, and I’m nervous about even eating.

Great video doctor. I was wondering if u cud make a video of aligners with mandibular advancement. Plz make a detailed one. Thanks. U r doing great work, our good wishes are with u.

[susanzimmerli]

I heard of after the whole treatment there can be placed a so called fixation behind the teeths which remains for ever so teeth position will not change
