Soooo Amazed! - Fort Thomas, KY

Ha! You're funny, I love reading your stories! Anyway the attachments don't look bad at all... I know you have heard that a million times but honestly it's not that noticeable... I always say it's never too late to improve yourself, and Invisalign proves you care about yourself and want to be the best YOU like you said keep your eye on the prize :) I'm not sure about that attachment messing with your bite?? I guess with your aligners in it would be ok (your teeth are somewhat protected) but I am thinking about when they are out and you bite down the wrong way and something happens... idk maybe it's not a big deal? Maybe that's how the dentist is changing your bite, that could be too!

Hi Michelle, how is your 1st tray going? I hope all is going well... just wanted to check in and see what you think so far and about the attachments, have you had those put on yet?

Hi Urbanplan85, I know exactly what you mean about the dry lips, I had the same issue and was able to correct it by using Carmex Moisture plus... you can buy it at any drug store it comes in a silver tube like lipstick (not the finger apply kind). I thought it was due to the excess brushing and also the lip stretching when taking the aligners in and out at first when I was trying to figure out my best method! The Carmex is super soothing and healed my corner up within 2 days and I have never had that problem again because I keep this Carmex stocked and you can wear it over lipstick as well, it looks like a nice gloss actually!

HAHA! Neon arrows... thats funny because I know exactly what you mean! Have you noticed a slight lisp yet? I remember having to really focus on my pronunciation when I got my 1st tray... I was somewhat self conscious because I do alot of conference calls etc... at work and face to face talking was worse because I thought I had neon arrows pointing to mouth too...lol but honestly no one notices it was all in my head! Anyway, I just wanted to say Hi and thanks for the chuckle this morning :) Let us know how it goes when you get the attachments in a couple weeks.

Awe Thank YOU! You just made my day! LOL It's dark and raining here in Northern Kentucky, USA and I was dragging myself into work this Monday morning thinking YUK what a dreary day... until I saw your post :) Thank you for the kind words! Your teeth look absolutely amazing and I love the pointy canines... for real, I think if gives your smile character...and your teeth are soooo white! They look amazing!
