Almost finished the Treatment! - Mountain View, CA

My teeth are perfect now!!!
WORTH IT$6,200
Last year April I already finished my invisalign treatment! A total of 22 trays. It only took about 1 year and a few months.
My teeth look really perfect and beautiful now, There's no gap in between my upper front teeth anymore, and they are the beautiful "U shape" instead of the old "V" shape! I'm not overbite anymore! I'm not overjet either! All I can say is that my teeth are perfect I love it so much!!
I got my retainer and I wear my retainer religiously for every night!!! Yes, that's right, I wear it for every night during sleep, it's been a year and my teeth are still as beautiful as it just finished the treatment!
In the past posts I mentioned that when I was a kind I had braces but due to laziness I didn't wear the retainer, that's the reason for the my invisalign treatment after I became an adult. So here my honest suggest for you is to wear retainer no matter what!!!! Wear it religiously like I do now, and you will have your beautiful teeth forever!!

Great! I'm glad it worked out for you. It kind of shocks me when people go through treatment and then don't continue on with a retainer. I understand how it's possible to not have a retainer routine down for regular braces so it's easy to stop. But with invisalign you're constantly changing trays and cleaning them, so a retainer should be second nature by the end of the course. Glad you're sticking it out :-)

I'm on my 22nd( or 21st?) tray!!!!
As you can guess I've been pretty easy about the wear time lately, I wear one tray almost for a month or more than that because I take it out longer to have more time to eat! haha!!
The good thing is that my teeth are soooooo straight and beautiful now!!!

Sorry for the late reply cuz I don't check this site too often. For your question, yes it does get better after I'm getting moreused to it. I also use denture cleanser (such as Efferdent) to clean it every day, that way my tray are always fresh'n clean with no bacteria! It helps a lot! No more sore throat!

Yes girl, you need to love yourself more so if you are still thinking about whether to get invisalign or not, just GO FOR IT!!! The earlier you start your treatment, the earlier you have beautiful smile!!! WAHAHAHHA!!!

I am 50 years old and starting my treatment next month - and have been wondering if it's all going to be worth it. I too have dental composite on my front teeth which I am a little nervous about having removed to start treatment - your review has given me the confidence I needed. Karen

Thank you for your comments, you'll be fine, they will remove the composite little by little so don't worry about it! ^^
That's what I'm using as well. Have they mentioned how often they expect you to replace them? Like how long they expect you'll be able to wear the four retainers you got--I'm assuming you got four to switch out every 3 months until you break them all in, then use each one for some length of time? I'm a little murky on all of this. I've been wearing my Viveras for two years and I'm not sure when I'm supposed to buy new ones.
They gave you the mold! Amazing how different! For me, they gave me some sort of subscription to Vivera, so every 3 months, I got a new retainer that I had to break in (excruciating, by the way.) Then after I had four of these, I stopped getting new ones and I guess I'm supposed to rotate through them on some sort of schedule but I just do it occasionally and I have to go through the pain all over again. The retainers weaken, so they don't break so much as just start letting your teeth move. But you can always get new ones from your mold. My orthodontist kept my mold and so I have to pay her for any new retainers I need to get, even after I've moved away. At least, that's what they told me. But I've gotten several different stories from that office so I'm a little confused. I wish they'd given me my mold!!!
