I'm a mother, nearly 20 years old, a college student, a wife, and an employee... So I'm a bit past the age for metal braces in my mind. So, I was thrilled when I found out my insurance would cover all but 1800 of Invisalign. I've always been self conscious of my teeth and frequently cover my mouth when I smile or laugh...it's very crippling to not be comfortable with your own smile and it definitely limits happiness a bit. So, I got my impressions and 9 weeks later I've received my trays. I've got to say, I am beyond excited to start my journey to straight teeth and I am beyong excited to share it with anyone it'll help! I've got a crowding issue in my front upper and lower teeth. To me it's severe, but to others it may not be. I need 44 trays for both upper and lower teeth that I'll be wearing for 1 week each. So, my treatment is going to take approximately 1 year. I've been wearing my first aligners for about 4 hours now and I have a slight lisp...which I hate!... But I don't talk too much as it is. Hopefully that'll go away as I get used to the trays. I got quite a few attachments, but most of them are on back teeth (praise the lord). I'll post some pictures with the aligners in.Updated on 11 Jan 2016: I'm just posting some updated photos. I just switched to trays 32 of 44 (new trays weekly) and I'm loving my progress.Updated on 11 Oct 2016: Currently on 1 of 17 refinements.
