Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

ADVICE NEEDED!
Hey Yall.
I need advice. Please weigh in. Don't just read!
Ok. The gap on the side of my mouth has closed for the most part, but i still think it could close more. I'm on my last refinement tray and I don't know if i should get more. The teeth are triangular, so they won't go together flush unless i get some ipr or something. So am i being obsessive? Or justifiable? I wanna be done. But don't wanna waste the chance to fix it. The teeth almost, maybe actually touch at the top? HELP
My next appointment is on the 30th....

1st refinement tray! !
I went to my ortho this morning to get my refinement trays. Some 5-6 weeks later! Grrr! Anyway, super easy and fast appointment. I have 8!! Refinement trays! I only had 17 regular trays. O well. First tray fits like a glove, is not tight at all :(. Will update when I see progress!!! Exclamation marks! !! Lol
17/17 awaiting revisions
It's been awhile! :) Finished my last 4 trays the other day. The trays marked overcorrection literally over corrected my bottom teeth. I should've never gone past tray 15. So now one of my front bottom teeth is crooked :( It's hardly noticeable, but I was gonna have it fixed anyway lol. I also had gaps on the side where they hadn't been before. One side closed up during overcorrection, while one did not.
So I had what would've been my final appointment on Wednesday and I brought my concerns to the doctor, he agreed and I had a new scan done for revisions. So it's bittersweet. The doctor did say that I can just wear my trays at night only until revisions come. But after two days of doing that, it's a little too tight putting them in after all day of not wearing them. So I may wear them a few hours during the day as well. New trays should be in 2 weeks from last Wednesday, so im anxiously waiting. Will update when I get those trays. Ps. The dental assistant said the next appointment may be longer if they prescribe more attachments! I said well I've already got 15, so I can't imagine there'd be anymore lol!! So we'll see :)
