I have 8 "buttons", 5 on upper and 3 on lower teeth that help the aligners rotate teeth. All of them except for the one on my top left canine are out of sight so I guess it's not that bad. Although the one on the canine is a pretty huge one so it's pretty noticeable, especially from a side view.
The aligners are in now and they are much more comfortable to have on than I imagined they would be. They actually make my teeth look better, especially the lower teeth. It makes the gap between the teeth seem smaller. My dentist was joking about how I have "instant" results haha.
Right now, the most tension I feel is on my upper left side. The dentist said that I can expect that each tray would feel tighter in different areas.
The other thing is that the "buttons" on my teeth feel really rough. It feels like you constantly have food stuck on your teeth when the aligners are out. It feels ALOT better, with the aligners in. I actually prefer having them in than out as far as comfort goes but I only got these about an hour ago so that may change. Hopefully not though.
Here are some pics:
