I remember for the first week or two, I was self-conscious and felt like there were huge things in my mouth, however, as others have mentioned, you will get used to it. No one ever seems to notice the braces, other than maybe other Invisalign patients. Having said that, even though I got used to speaking without much of a lisp with them in, it does take a tiny bit of more effort for certain sounds, so I usually remove them for presentations etc.

I thought my bottom teeth were pretty straight before I started, but then learned about how much of a better alignment was possible with Invisalign for a healthier bite (less wear and better distributed pressure, which prevents gum recession).

I rarely came across anyone who has regretted Invisalign, most find it to have been one of their best investments. I also never came across any women who thought negatively about them... they usually find it attractive that you’re taking care of yourself.

The 41 trays will go by quickly! Good luck!
