Hi...I am planning on getting invisalign, I want it because i don't want the pain from the metal and because I like to idea of being able to remove them to eat and such. My dentist said that I will need buttons becuase my teeth are very complicated. I would like to know if the buttons are very visible and if they damage your teeth after they are removed. Also I would like to know if my teeth will move back to there original place, or should i request to have a perminent retainer put in. I would basically like to know your experiences and if there is anything I should knwo or do. please help me.!

If your not at all responsible, then you are kind of screwed. It's alot of responsibility. You take them out with you eat or drink anything except water, and you have to brush your teeth as well as the actual invisalign. Don't ever put them in a napkin or anything like that because chances are.. you'll forget them and throw them away and dig for them later. If you want it to work, take care of your teeth and wear them as much as you can. Even if you are embarrassed of brushing your teeth in the bathroom at school, do it. You'll be glad because it will work and have straight teeth. I will admit that your teeth will be sore for a couple days after you get new trays. Just deal with it. It might be embarrassing when your at lunch, make sure you put your hand over your mouth, they tend to leave saliva off the invisalign. The buttons help, trust me. They kind of noticeable, But not from afar. I had mine since like end of april or beginning of May and I wore them to prom.Their not that noticeable at all. In pictures they actually make them seem whiter. You will notice your teeth will get whiter because you'd be brushing you teeth alot more than usual. If you have anymore questions, be sure and leave me messages. :]
