To invisalign users past or present - Dental Health Message Board

I just got my first set of aligners today. They are definetly more visable than I had thought. To those who have them or had them, how much space is there between the tip of your teeth and the aligner? My front top teeth have a whole 1mm between them. This is enough space for saliva to get in there, which makes it very visable. Is this space size normal? I would think that for this amount of money, the company could make the aligner fit exactly flush with the tooth.

That space between the tooth and aligner is normal. Mine are like that too. Usually that shine that makes them so visable will go away and they wont be so noticable.
