My treatment lasted 8 months in total. I had a gap and a minor over bite that made me feel extremely insecure whenever I smiled. I mainly decided to go ahead with the treatment because I was tired of feeling insecure. I went with the clear ceramic braces which I loved because they were barely visible. Yes, the process was painful but it was also worth it! and so was every cent! I love my results!

Can you describe the pain you were feeling and how often you experienced it?

It was very painful at first (as expected) I could barely eat anything but eventually the soreness got better after like 3 weeks. I always had minor cuts inside of my mouth because of the brackets (that was really annoying). Other pain I experienced was when they replaced the regular rubber bands with the chain one on the top row of my teeth, I could feel them moving closer together right away and experienced soreness for like a week but besides all of that the braces pain was not that bad. It's all well worth it!

Hi~ nice smile! Did you extract any teeth during the treatment?

Thank you! I had my two lower wisdom teeth removed before my treatment began and now have to remove the two upper ones before they start coming in to prevent them from shifting

You have a nice smile and great teeth! But I was also wondering if any teeth were extracted because the before pic shows more teeth at the top in the width of your smile than in the after, but it could just be the angle.

How did you find your Doctor, was he referred by your regular dentist? What was he like with you. Did he show you any pictures of your expected outcome in the beginning?
Were you given other braces options? Did he try to sell you on bonding after treatment

Thank you for sharing your story with us. Can I ask what made you choose clear ceramic braces for your treatment?
