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.

Finished Product Pic With Trays In
Attachments are off! In final stretch!
Well, it's been another half a year since I last posted! Sorry! We did a re-analysis during the summer and ended up getting a mid-course correction that extended my procedure time an extra three and half months. So, instead of being done in mid-September, I will likely be done December 30th. I got my attachments off yesterday because the two last overcorrection tray movements don't "need" the attachments. Wow, it's so good to see my real teeth again!! I had 17 attachments so there was a lot! I've attached a pic. I am pretty pleased with the results other than small black triangles between three bottom front teeth, and that I also have malocculsion, which I hear is fairly common. The triangles can be "fixed" via bonding and the malocculsion we are going to see if it works itself out after I'm wearing the trays less. My dentist has also cut off the back of my last overcorrection trays, which she says will often help you settle back into your "bite" so we may use that for a while instead of going right into retainers. Anyway, cheers to hopefully being close to being done!
Halfway Through Treatment
So, I've been very MIA, haha! I got used to my treatment and therefore decided I didn't need to write anything about them, lol. I am officially halfway through treatment--tray eleven of twenty-one. Of course, I may have an extension, but in theory, I'm halfway. I've had two buttons pop off, but have had one fixed and am going to get another re-bonded in two weeks. Had some sanding down a few weeks ago for a few of my top middle teeth. That was not fun and she may do a little bit more at my next appointment. I took a pic so I could see my progress and I uploaded it so you can see yourself. The main thing I see is my bottom teeth or shifting, but right now, there's actually space in between teeth that used to not be there, so I actually don't like it that much. My dentist said she thinks it'll fill in once everything's in place, but if not, we can sand my teeth a little to have them close in on each other more. Hope everyone else's journey is going well!
