If anyone would like to watch video updates that I post about Invisalign, feel free to come along on my journey.

I really wanted to get Invisalign, because I couldn't stand my overbite anymore. It's one of those things that you look at pictures, and you've had enough. I am so happy with my choice to go with Invisalign. It has drastically fixed my teeth already. I'm currently on tray 19 of 30. From now on out, I'll be wearing my trays for 10 days each.

However, my ortho told me in the very beginning, that my overbite wouldn't be fixed 100%. Because of my jaw completely done growing, I would have to get corrective surgery. I'll be waiting until my treatment is done, to see I want to go through with the surgery.

I couldn't ask for better results than what Invisalign has done. It's always exciting to see results. I had spacing in between my teeth, and the gaps are closing up fast. I would recommend Invisalign to anyone!

Thank you!! I'm excited to see how things progress as well! I'll be taking better pictures when I'm done, of before and after, and I'll post them here!

Sounds good, I'll be looking forward to seeing your pictures. Your dentist's office should have photos they take for records. Most offices are happy to share them with patients. I know taking good pictures of your own teeth is tricky, so you could probably ask them to share with you & save yourself the hassle. :)

I am very impressed with your results. Your dentist's office should use your video for future clients. I currently have metal braces but am planning on switching over invisalign. I'm excited to continue watching your progress. Any helpful tips?

Thank you for the compliments!! I'm excited for my progress too! You'll love Invisalign so much more than traditional braces. I guess my helpful tips to you would be... I highly suggest changing into new trays before you go to bed. I've changed them during the day, just to see how much more pressure I'd feel, and it was no fun taking them out for meal times. Also, I know that orthodontics say to wear the trays for 22 hours. If I'm out to eat, I never brush my teeth in a public place. It's unsanitary and unnecessary, in my opinion. I've had my trays out for several hours at a time, until I got home to brush my teeth. When I put them back in, they're slightly tight, but within a couple minutes they're fine. I think they say 22 hours as a reminder to just wear them as much as possible!

Loved the video update, especially how you have the countdown to being Invisalign free on your phone. Your celebratory squeals are adorable, can totally see your excitement!! :)

I'll be interested to hear if the orthodontist takes your buttons off at your next appointment, or has you keep them on for the remaining 7 days. Will you make sure to update us on that??

So glad things are going so well for you!!

I'm currently on tray 27 of 27 on the bottom, and tray 29 of 30 for the top!! I only have 14 days left of my treament, and couldn't be more happy with the movement of my teeth!

With my last two sets of bottom aligners, I experienced them cracking/breaking. That was the 1st time that thats ever happened. My 25th set cracked on the top, right where my top teeth would come down. It also cracked along the side of the aligner. My 26th pair cracked in the same exact spot. However, it didn't affect the treatment.

I have my ortho appt next Tuesday! Hopefully the last one! I'll be updating you guys with another video, as well as before & after pictures!!!
