How many trays make up your plan?

[Eckin]

I'm eager to know how many trays you guys have had compared to the severity of your teeth. It would really help me out if you guys could tell me about your teeth at the beginning of your path with invisalign and how many trays you have to wear to fix it. (pics would help). I'm asking this because i want a good estimate of how many trays im goin to need if i work with invisalign. Hopefully it isn't too much to ask.. Thankyou!!!

Hi Eckin,
My treatment consists of 15 upper trays and 14 lower trays. I have 7 attachments on the top and 4 attachments on the bottom. I'm currently on Tray 6 so almost at the half way point. The pictures are from the start of treatment. I have crooked front upper teeth (pointed is more like it) with a significant overbite. My lower teeth are only very slightly crooked and just have to slightly move forward to correct the overbite. I'm quite happy with the results so far and looking forward to straight teeth!

Hi, I dont have any pre-treatment photos but i have some shots of them at tray 4 and where I am now on tray 9 on my profile. (Im having probs resizing pics to upload them!) 17 uppers and 14 lowers.

As you will see, I have overcrowding and naturally quite triangular teeth which makes bringing them into line a bit more challenging. I am having shaving done between most teeth to create room (which doesnt hurt at all). 3 attachments at top, 8 at the bottom.

I dont think my front teeth changed hardly at all during the first 4 or 5 trays so the pic is pretty much my starting point.

My dentist and I were quite surprised that Invisalign came back with such few trays at clincheck stage, but now Im feeling them move into place, its all becoming 'believable'!!!

I have some on my blog, the link is in my signature - I've had 16 top and 19 bottom, but going in for refinements next week. My blog has both before and after shots, and will be updated next week with the final ones

HI there,
I have pics on my blog too and I have 17 upper and 34 lower. GULP.

My teeth are pretty bad though. My latest pics show that the tops are coming in to line nicely from the front BUT I still have a huge overbite. (I can fit the top of my thumb between my top and bottom teeth still and I am on set 13.)

Hi there
I've got 17 upper, and 12 lower, and one week into my first set. Don't have any photos, but i've got an anterior crossbite on the top, so to make space for it the aligners are going to expand the rest of the teeth to make room.
