Brody's Almost Done!
$7,000
So.. I went in today and got my front teeth shaped more, and got my lateral incisors built up. Then, I got scanned.
I'm wearing my last tray with parts of it cut so my incisors can fit. I'll wear this until my trays arrive (March 30 appointment).
My smile is looking great! Not much left after this stretch run. Maybe IPR next time on the lower teeth to make the top fit tighter, and maybe some work to line up my two top front teeth a bit.
Loving the process!!

ONE YEAR CHECK IN: So many differences, end of round 2
Hey all! I decided to post a "first tray" pic vs. a current tray pic, as I've had Invisalign for a year of my life now. I believe this is about Tray 60. With Accelendent (and now changing my trays out once every 5 days, before every 7 days), this has been a breeze.
I go back in on March 6th to build up my top lateral incisors (you can see that they aren't moving down as much as they should in the pic, and they aren't big enough so without the trays, I have gaps between them and my cuspids.) Then I'll get rescanned and go through another round of trays (hopefully not more than 20-30 or so). Then, maybe refinements to get it absolutely perfect. Then I'll be done.
But wow.. look at the difference already!!! So many things to notice, particularly the widening of my smile, my top teeth moving down, my bottom teeth moving out... so awesome!!! :D
If anyone is wondering, this is WELL worth it!!!! My biggest insecurity is now what I am most confident about. :)

Also, you notice how shifted over my bottom teeth were from the top at the beginning. I thought I'd need jaw surgery to correct this.. but check it out now!!!!

Awesome progress! Your smile is fantastic! I'm starting in two weeks and I'm so excited for the results, reading your journey was super helpful.

Appointment Scheduled for 3/6 - Build up and Another Set
All-
Because my two lateral incisors are small, there will still be gaps after the second round of treatment. In order for my teeth to look normal, I will need my orthodontist to build these two teeth up, and then I will need to go through another set of trays.
But my smile looks fantastic, so I don't mind going through as many rounds as possible to get this perfect.

Hopefully, he can move it down or build it up to match. What a pain.
