I went through the whole process only because my health insurance at the time covered half. The liners were not the most comfortable thing at first but I got used to them. In the later stages of the process the liners began to not fit quite right so I was refitting approx 2 times and went from there. I walked into the dentist for an appt which I thought was the next step in the process but the dentist, rather unceremoniously handed me a mirror and asked what I thought. I was rather dumbfounded as there was really no time line given up front and my teeth weren't even close to where I thought they should be after all the time and money. I politely asked that the fixtures be unglued from my teeth (which I had to pay for out of pocket) and left feeling like I had been sold some sort of gimmick product. When I moved and subsequently changed dentists my new dentist asked if I had ever considered braces and I told her that I had gone through invisalign and she told me that I was not a good candidate for invisalign due to some crowding and the narrowness of my upper jaw. She suggested braces and oral surgery, I said no thank you. Needless to say what I really needed was a consult with an orthodontist, not a dentist. I'd get a second opinion before you potentially throw a couple thousand dollars away.
