The constant pressure for a few days after you get them tightened sucks, but that day you get them off and you can help be cheese at all times makes it all sooo worth it.

how much does invisalign cost? I'm thinking of getting them, also, does insurance cover it?

I'm wondering the same thing if it's not too personal. I don't think insurance covers them though, but I could be wrong. I wore braces back in 5th grade, but my sophomore year of HS I had to get my wisdom teeth removed because they were causing my teeth to crowd. Because of my wisdom teeth, my front 4 teeth on top and bottom are out of alignment. 2 years of braces for nothing

At first it will feel uncomfortable and weird but trust me the pain will come once they start tightening it and you try to eat. Left me headaches. Get you a bottle of tylenol to prepare

Wait so OP do you have invisalign retainers or actual braces but the "clear" ones. I remember people getting the clear bands on their braces, and when they would eat things like mustard it would turn nasty yellow. That *%! is nasty. I made sure to always just get a solid color like red and black.

Invisalign.
Start a new tray right before you go to bed and pop a couple Tylenol PM's and you're $$$$$$$$. Wake up with the new trays already putting in 8 hours of work on your teeth and it doesn't hurt at all.
