Overbite and Spacing - Minnesota

WOW! Thank you SO much!! I appreciate your comment very much! You honestly made me tear up!! All of your compliments were so incredibly sweet. They made my day!
I'm so happy that I was able to give you some information about Invisalign. I'm sorry to hear about you getting picked on growing up. Why can't everyone have perfect teeth? I, too, dealt people not "accepting" me, just because of my teeth. When I was younger, I was afraid of braces. At that time, I thought that people would pick on me more, if I got them. I don't know how much of my story you know, but I eventually got regular braces at age 15 (I'm 22 now), had a 2 year treatment planned, but only got through a year. I couldn't stand my orthodontist anymore. His manners were terrible, and didn't want to deal with him anymore. He took my braces off that day. Once they were off, I didn't want them back on. Well, it took 5 years for me to get in the "You need to get your teeth fixed!" mood. I saw some commercial on tv about Invisalign, and started researching it from there. I went in for a consultation with a new orthodontist, and he had estimated a 15 month treatment, which ended up winding down to 12 months! I was so happy with his attitude, compared to my other one. Invisalign straightened my teeth 100%, but it doesn't fix major overbites, and that's why I'll need to get jaw surgery. I love my teeth, but still a bit self-conscious about my overbite.
Whenever you decide to start her treatment, she will love it, and she'll thank you for investing in this type of treatment. As with the other braces, there's responsibility involved, and I hated cleaning my trays. One tip that you can do to help her, is think about getting denture cleaner to clean the trays! I just buy the generic kind at walmart, and they work great for keeping trays/retainers clean. During meal time, she can have them cleaning while she eats! Also, when it comes time for her to change trays, have her do it before bed. That's the best way to deal with the tightness of the new tray. I'm sure you'll get told this whenever she goes in, but just in case! I wish her the absolute best with her treatment, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm more than happy to help! Thank you very much, again, for your comment.
Have a wonderful day, Ma'iingankwe!

Awwwww sweetheart! :( I'm sorry! It was sad posting the video, knowing that its my last one. It still doesn't seem real. Even though I'm done, I'll keep in touch with you!! I'll send you my video updates on the jaw surgery too, I'll send them in a message or something! I've already decided that you have to stay in my life. Hope you dont mind :D

It was my pleasure to give you a shoutout! You are honestly the sweetest, and I had to tell the world :) Again, thank you so much for everything. You always know how to make me smile and brighten my day. I wish I could hug you! Pretend this is one- *HUG!!* You are the best.

P.S. I have my retainers in right now! Yay for straight teeth! haha

Thank you so much!
Everyone has the option to wear their retainer. I highly recommend it. I choose to wear mine, because I want my teeth to stay straight!! If you choose NOT to wear the retainer, your teeth will definitely move back to where they were before you get Invisalign. After every orthodontic work, they always give you a retainer to keep your teeth aligned after the treatment.

Definitely! I'd miss talking to you guys too!!

Thanks Megan!! I promise I won't forget!! :) I'd hate to lose it too, believe me! That's what happened after I got my regular braces off. I got a wire retainer, even though I wasn't done with the treatment. From the beginning, that retainer didn't fit, so I never wore it. My teeth went riiiight in the place they started in. But, this retainer fits wonderfully, and I have no excuses not to wear it!
