Clearcorrect braces - could you lease share your experiences with these?

I'm finally doing something about my wonky teeth and my dentist has suggested Clearcorrect.
My consultation is next week and after googling them there has been mixed reviews. One patient had to file down hers because they rubbed and caused blisters on her gums.
They also said there would be 3days of pain with every new set.

Obviously my consultant may make light of these side effects as it's expensive but I'm really curious to know from someone who has used them.

What did you think? Any advice?

My only advice if you are thinking about braces is to see an orthodontist , who will be able to offer many different systems and talk you through the pros and cons of each , rather than a general dentist who may only offer one type of brace.
You will pay for an orthodontic opinion but you are only going to do this once so do it right.

I see, thank you Lolly.

I had that brand bus my dentist and it all went fine. Obviously there's discomfort as the teeth move but nothing unexpected.

Thank you Charlie, I expected some discomfort as the teeth are being forced around.

Do you think it's worth it?
