I just have to make an appointment to pick them up. SOOOO excited! I'm nervous to find out about how long I'll be wearing them though.

I had them! Loved them apart from when I'd go a few days...or weeks without wearing them and then they'd hurt to put back on
My cost $4000 for 2 phases, uppers and lowers. |

I went about 12 weeks with mine. Not terrible at all if you ask me. The worst part was the beginning of a new retainer. SO much pain - that dull, achey, if you
touch my arm I'm going to feel it in my teeth kind of pain.
It's worth it though! Good Luck! |

Yeah I've read it helps to take Advil before switching out retainers.

I'll probably be going a year and a half to two years. My teeth are overcrowded plus I have these teeth that I call "fangs" which take longer to
move than others.

I have fangs too! My Invisilign sucked, and this was even after braces. I wore them when I was supposed to, but as soon as I take them out my teeth eventually
move back into fangs. I think I notice them more than anyone, but they are stubborn.

Keep us updated on how it goes with them. I've always wanted to try them, I think I just need them on my bottom set, they're pretty crooked. My only
thing with my top is my snaggle tooth but I love it. I know, its weird to hear someone say they love their snaggle tooth.

Don't throw away your retainers when you're done just in case you need to go back.

No. I quit once they started going back again because I was pissed. I put in back in the other night and it killlled, but I might start doing it again. My only
concern is that it's moving one of my other teeth in a way I don't want, so I don't want to screw my teeth up more.

I read that you have to wear a retainer every night for life after you are finished with the aligners to prevent your teeth from moving back.
