It's really horrible isn't it. I miss having a normal bite and it's made smiling quite uncomfortable (physically that is, not in a hiding teeth way like before). I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that the rest of your aligners go well and you get the result you'd likeI’m in the same position as you tbf, my bite felt perfect after my initial treatment, then I started refinements as just one tooth hadn’t rotated and now my bite feels really offI think it’s a case of trust the process!
Luckily my friend pre-warned me so I mentioned it at the start of my app as I wouldn’t have thought to otherwise! My dentist was actually a bit put out that that was the first I’d informed them about it (even though I didn’t know I was pregnant at my last appointment!). I think you can technically have the bonding done if you’re preg but you’re meant to have the whitening beforehand. You can’t have whitening done if you’re breast feeding either, so just something to bear in mind too!!Wait what!!I’m due mine off soon but I’m very early preggers.. (so early I certainly wasn’t planning to tell the dentist ) I didn’t know this!
No same it would never have crossed my mind! Thank you for the pre-warningLuckily my friend pre-warned me so I mentioned it at the start of my app as I wouldn’t have thought to otherwise!

Yes don’t worry, your first aligner is going to be horrible for the first few days but soon you will be popping them in and out with ease!Please tell me that taking the aligners off gets easier?? I had mine fitted on Tuesday & it's taking me at least 30 minutes each time I want to eat. I had to order a pultool as I couldn't get them off using my hands.
Just thinking whether I actually care enough now as I don't think I can be bothered with this for the next 5 months!
Thank you! I've had 2 meltdowns already but reassuring to know that it will get easier!Yes don’t worry, your first aligner is going to be horrible for the first few days but soon you will be popping them in and out with ease!
It gets so much better, i almost felt like i was Fighting for my life when i had to take them out to eat. Ive had barely any pain at all after the first week!Thank you! I've had 2 meltdowns already but reassuring to know that it will get easier!
It definitely does. I used to end up in floods of tears with the first couple of aligners because I was terrified I was going to accidentally pull my teeth. Now can pop them out really quickly, on the go, without a mirror. Hang in there. It'll be worth it!Thank you! I've had 2 meltdowns already but reassuring to know that it will get easier!
That's so good to know, thank you. I was very tempted to call my dentist & say I don't want to do this!It gets so much better, i almost felt like i was Fighting for my life when i had to take them out to eat. Ive had barely any pain at all after the first week!
Thank god! I'm not someone who can only eat once a day so this makes me feel so much better!It definitely does.

Mine is £3,500 including the whitening & retainer at the endHow much did everyone pay for their Invisalign all in? (Top and bottom set)
I've just been for my appointment too. New attachments and 13 more trays. I was so glad to see the back of the one I've been stuck with for nearly a month. It was very mankyI got my refinements today. 8 trays 🥲 completely self inflicted because I've stopped wearing my invisalign for a month on and off whilst i waited for my new trays
I've actually got no attachments! Mine were taken off before i had composite bonding. Hoping it really does fly by! This will take my invisalign to a year, more or less.I've just been for my appointment too. New attachments and 13 more trays. I was so glad to see the back of the one I've been stuck with for nearly a month. It was very manky. I'm sure our refinement period will fly by.
