So I got my invisalign on September 15. I have 10 attachments: 7 on my upper teeth and 3 on my bottom teeth (which surprised me because my top teeth are straight, but turns out theyre realigning my bite)

So I get them on, no problems... until i went to eat... I had to cut my grilled cheese into tiny peices due to the pain i felt and my teeth felt loose and it took 15 minutes to take them off. i was really starting to think this was a bad idea

That night when i got back to school (im in grad school an hour and a half away from my orthodontist) an attachment popped off when i took them off to eat dinner... So I had to drive an hour and a half home the next day to have it put back on. I was not a happy camper

Two weeks passed and all was well. They become comfortable and i hardly noticed them. I was down to 20 seconds for taking my aligners off... And then came the dreadful day of putting in aligner 2.

So I put it in and it didn't fit right on my back teeth and kept popping off. By the next day that was no longer a problem and it fit my back teeth nicely. There was no pain in my teeth, just a lot of pressure on them.

2 days into this set i noticed food was starting to get stuck between the aligner and the tooth but it came out easily with mouthwash. Well one of those 2 attachments popped off 2 days into the aligner and later that night i noticed that another attachment was having the same food behind the attachment problem.

So this morning i go to the orthodontist. They replaced the one that popped off, the one food was getting stuck on, and one that seemed to be coming off a little bit.

So I am 2 and a half weeks into invisalign and have had 4 attachments replaced already. This is getting annoying

But so far, despite my attachment problems, i would still choose this over metal braces.
