[quote=Anonymous]I wear Invisalign and it was quite an adjustment from the start.  In order to prevent cavities (but you will most likely still get them), it is very very important to follow proper hygiene and suggested by the makers of Invisalign as well as your dentist.

Invisalign has done a great job with my teeth. I had moderate to severe crowing top and bottom, but IF I had to do it over again, I would probably choose traditional braces vs. Invisalign.  I do think that Invisalign is somewhat limited in what in can do.

The trays can also get stained and gross during the 2 weeks that you wear them.  I soak mine in a denture cleaner in the a.m. and p.m.  This has worked well for me.

You cannot really drink anything other than water or maybe very very weak or watered down unsweetened tea when wearing the trays in your mouth.  Anything else will stain them and it will look ugly.

I did not have problems with lisp or problems with speech when I got them, not even at the beginning.  People hardly notice that I wear them.

They do limit your social life though in regards to going out for drinks etc.  You should wear them at least 23 hours per day.

Good luck![/quote]
