Invisalign Review – I’m Back!!!

My Invisalign Review continues! Sorry for the delay everyone who has been following me. I’ve been extremely busy with working a few different jobs, family issues and a few others things going on. Also my dentist had to have the Invisalign people send for more trays at tray number ten. A lot has changed and my Invisalign Review progress is still going! Ok I’ll fill you in…

The picture above was taken right after my tenth Invisalign tray was done. I really feel like my teeth are changing! Its funny because a lot of the people who are around me a lot (friends, family, etc.) keep telling me that they definitely see a change in the look of my teeth. They say that my K9’s are starting to rotate in the right direction and my teeth that were pushed back are starting to come out more and become more aligned. Can you see a difference at all? When I look at the pictures I gotta be honest, I really don’t see that much of a change at all. I know my teeth are moving though because my bight is definitely changed a bit. It just feels different.

Waiting For Four Weeks With My Tenth Invisalign Tray

Yeah, for my Invisalign Review and treatment process, I had to hold on to the tenth tray for four weeks which I wasn’t too happy about but I realize that everything can’t follow are super disciplined schedule. The reason why I had to wait so long was for a few reasons. First, I couldn’t get an appointment with the dentist as soon as I would’ve liked because he was super busy and I couldn’t coordinate an open date due to work and trips. Second, Once I finally got into see my dentist, he had to “remold” or just approve my teeth so that I could continue with my Invisalign Review and the treatment process. My dentist told me that after tray number ten, we would have to re evaluate and see if Invisalign is working for me. The nice part was that he actually didn’t have to do molds of my teeth and “prove” it to the Invisalign people. All he had to do was to look and see if my teeth were moving, which they were, and if they were moving properly. After a short look, he told me that “everything looked great” and that we were ready to move on with another set of trays and the rest of my process.

So Things are definitely going well. I had a cleaning in late December and no cavities or no problems. Invisalign was actually making it easier to clean my teeth because it was creating room and eliminating some of the hard to get to places. I also have been keeping up with my basic cleaning. I still manage to snack a decent amount and I have gotten a little bit lazy with having to brush after every time I put food or a drink into my mouth. I’ll go into more of that in the next few blog posts. Anyways, everything is going great with my Invisalign Review! I’m almost half done too!!!

Invisalign Review – Retainer 7/26

Times flying by..

It seems like it was only yesterday when I had received my first set of Invisalign Retainers/Aligners. Now I’m almost 1/3 of the way done and going strong! I’ve definitely found my comfort zone with Invisalign that’s for sure. Lately I’ve been good but seem to slack about 30 minutes after eating meals, going out and if I’m around someone who I don’t want to notice, I’ll take my retainers out.

As of my last checkup, everything is going great!

People are actually starting to ask me or tell me: “Hey, you’re teeth look better, what are you doing to them”. It’s a good feeling icon smile Invisalign Review Retainer 7/26 Only so far into the process and I already have something to show for it. I’m definitely happy about it and my Invisalign Review is positive thus far. I’m also definitely glad I went through with it. Most of all I really can’t wait until that day in September 9 months from now when I’m all done! Good times are coming!

No complaints this last tray

Everything went well. Brushed good, flossed good. Was very thorough with both. I guess I’ll find out how well I did at my next appointment… January 12th 2012.

Invisalign Review – Retainer 6/26 (New Orleans Trip)

My Last Invisalign Retainer Was A Rough Two Weeks

I was on vacation and It was hard to brush and It was hard to keep up with my ongoing Invisalign Review. What can I say.. I was In Louisiana, had a ton of great food and just didn’t want to carry my toothbrush around with me during my whole vacation. I probably spent a total of 17 hours/day with my retainers in throughout the entire trip. Not bad, just not what my dentist would recommend. I didn’t want to stain them with all the hurricane drinks that I was consuming
I’m Dumb, But Curious

I wanted to test out a little experiment for all my followers and record the results on this Invisalign Blog and in my Invisalign Review.After my last day of wearing Invisalign, I tried puting in a previous retainer.. just to see how it would feel. Believe it or not, it was extremely difficult which proves that my teeth are definitely moving! Excited about that

I’m Still A Bit Shy With My Invisalign On My Teeth

I still am a bit self-concious when my Invisalign is in. It’s strictly because of all the attachments in my mouth. I feel with the Invisalign Retainers in, you can definitely see them and that people notice them. Kind of bums me out but whatever. It is what it is. I guess I will just tend to keep taking them out when I go out on special occasions (dinner, weekend nights, bars, etc). The fact that they are the least bit noticeable is one of the few negatives for my Invisalign Review.
