Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

.....and done!
I finally found a new orthodontist out here, and he agreed with my previous Ortho about my progress. So as of today, all of my 16 attachments are off and I'm still wearing my last liner, but they don't fit as well with my attachments gone. My new Ortho is making me just a clear simple liner to stabilize my teeth, and that is a tight fit. I will hopefully be getting that tomorrow! I'll wear that for about a month, and if everything still looks good, then I'll get my retainers.
Liner 19
I just finished my regular set of liners, 18 was my "final" one, and I'm now on my first refinement out of 21 total. I am almost done, and it's so crazy to think about it.
Since my last post I have moved out of state, and have yet to find a new Orthodontist out here. My old Ortho said my teeth are moving exactly as my ClinCheck proposed, and he was 99% sure I would not need an extra set of refinements. He also said I could stop my treatment at liner 18, but if I still felt I had gaps that I can wear 19-21. My gaps haven't fully closed from my IPR, so I did choose to wear them, but I'm already seeing them close (more like feeling) within the past couple of days.
I'm feeling a bit nervous about ending treatment. My teeth move fast, and I have really gotten used to having a barricade from my stupid tongue thrust. I try my best to work on that, but let's be real, it's so hard. Has anyone else felt any nervousness about ending their treatment? Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy to get the 16 dumb attachments off my teeth, and to whiten the you know what out of my teeth...but I can't help but feel like part of me isn't ready. I don't know, maybe I'm not ready to let go due to all the money I shelled out for a 8 month treatment?!
Anyway, I attached pictures of where my teeth are at...please ignore the color of them, and the fact that my attachments stick out and make my teeth look crooked!

Liner 14
I haven't posted anything for a few liners, but liners 11-13 didn't real show progress. I switched to liner 14 two days ago, and the difference is huge! The gap from my overjet is now completely closed, and the rest of my liners (15-18) and refinements (19-21) will be working on pulling my front teeth down and back. I also had my 6 month checkup at my dentist, and he said to continue what I've been doing because everything looks great. That's always so nice to hear! If my teeth continue to comply, I could be done with my treatment by mid December!
I have an appointment on the 21st to figure out what to do about me moving during treatment. So cross your fingers that it will be an easy transition!

Provider Review
Dr. Kevin Ensley
Dr. Ensley has so far been awesome! He does all the procedures within my treatment (IPR, removing attachments, etc.) and so far I've seen him at every appointment to check my progress. His staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, and if they ever don't know the answer to my question, they go and get Dr. Ensley. So far I'm happy with my choice in an Orthodontist.
