Cheers, it feels good to not be self-conscious of them. Took about 8 months and around £2.5k but paid monthly over a year wasn't too bad. And they're still my own gnashers.
What really stood out was the attentiveness when compared with some of these other alignment companies (and Christ did I get cookie spammed) - there were regular check ups at my dentist to measure the progress, proper x-rays to before anything started, 3D scans of my entire mouth to construct the braces, a whitening session etc. Twice we needed to bin all the sets (you fit new ones weekly) because the odd tooth wouldn't play ball and they absorb all that cost as part and parcel.
Those companies where you bite on some clay and they send you some braces really shouldn't be allowed. The guy who did mine was telling me some horror stories of people left with loads of wobbly teeth because they've been moved too far.

A few years ago my front teeth were diverging to a point of annoyance and I went through the Invisalign process. Totally recommend it as there wasn’t any invasive dentistry, just a series of braces that gradually move the teeth.
One thing that I didn’t know before was at the end they affix a concealed wire behind your front 6-8 teeth to keep them from wandering back. I don’t notice it now. And you need to wear a retainer at night but I had to do that anyway because I grind mine like a sheep.
