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.

Still Happy!
Hi everyone. I just wanted to come back in to post an update stating that after a year and 8 months I am still very very happy with the results. I am not afraid to smile with my teeth showing or laugh. I feel so much more confident in my looks.
I hope reading my logs above will help you in your journey or help you with your decision.
Best of Luck!!!

After 3C
On Jan 11th I put in my final set of trays. I am sooo excited about not having to have these in all the time. Don't get me wrong. I am so happy I did this and very happy with the results, but ready to be able to have a cup of coffee or a snack when I want. :-D
No major difference with these same pressure maybe more so on my top teeth.
I go to my dentist on 1/25 to have the buttons removed, check my bite and get fitted for a retainer.
I will post my pics after all that and let everyone know how it all went.
I will try to post a summary of my total experience at some point.
Thanks to all who have posted. gave advice and cheered me on. It was so helpful going thrpugh this with others doing the same.

After 3B
Started my 11th set out of the 12! (3C) So close to the finish line. Not a lot of visible changes of the front teeth, but one of my back teeth that was out of alignment is really coming "into the fold" now. :-)
I spoke to my hygienist about the fact that my bite was a bit off. She said we still had some time to go but when she finished hers (I wrote about her in my earlier reviews) she had to have some adjustments made to her bite. She is very pleased with her results. I am not as concerned now about the bite issue. I rarely bite down solidly these days anyway as I have learned to chew without completely biting down. Even if my bite is a little off from now on I am still very happy with the results. I feel so much more relaxed when i smile.
She told me once I was done with the 12th tray I would then get the retainer. She said I would wear them every night. The dentists said every few nights. Either way, I am OK with that. Too much time, effort and yes, money, spent to let them go back to the way they were.

Great team at the Maryland Farms Dentistry Office. Very caring. Patient with me and all my questions over the last couple of years. Also very good for a person that has a huge fear of going to the dentist. I am now very relaxed when I go.
