I recently got 6 month braces from Glenwood Smiles in Raleigh. I am an adult and this is my first time with braces. I didn't have them as a teen. They are a little tight right now, which I guess means they are working! I opted for the clear / tooth-colored wires which I feel makes them look less noticeable. My speech is a little different right now as I adjust to having them in my mouth but they said that will get better after a week or tow as I get used to it.

Invisalign has been great. I still have a few more trays to go, but I can already see a difference! My teeth are getting straighter every day. Plus, no one can tell I'm wearing them. I even had to point it out to my parents. They had no clue anything was different with me. Dr. Schmorr has been great as well. Very friendly and answers all my questions.
