Invisalign Review(Crossbite and Gap) - Dallas, TX

Let's get straight to it! So I was quoted 5500 for the aligners which isn't bad. My insurance covered 3000 and I made a down payment of 200 to get the ball rolling. In the next couple weeks I will put 1000 down to bring my monthly payments to 25 over the course of a year. I was told my treatment plan will be 18 months or less. Enough to have to perfect smile for when I finish my masters program. Road to graduation perfect teeth here I come!

Soooooo it's been forever since I got my impressions and I'm still waiting for my aligners. I'm assuming the Invisalign people are backed up. Idk. But what I do know is I'm beyond over the wait. I called my orthodontist office and they said it can be another 2-3 weeks. I went to the office at the end of January and now we are closing the month of March. Yikes. Anywho, I have been Oil Pulling with organic virgin coconut oil for various reasons: fresh breath, organic teeth whitener, natural anti microbial...oh and I use it on my body as well. For me personally it works. I swish a spoonful of the coconut oil and a little of my 3D Crest white diamond strong mouth wash for taste for about 20 mins in the shower then brush my teeth after. If I'm in a crunch for time I only do 5 mins or just swish for a minute. My breath is fresh and my body is beyond soft!

Anywho, Oil Pulling is pretty legit. That's all I have for today. Hopefully I will be back saying I e received my aligners... but until then you all have a good rest of the month!

So I FINALLY got my trays. I have 10 trays in total that I wear for only a week. My orthodontist did not tell me I was doing the express 10 but she did say my case is a simple one. That's nice to know but I honestly thought my gaps with the combination of my cross bite would have made it complex. Any who she said that after the tenth tray I do not like my results I can go for refinements. I got a total of I think 12 attachments(none visible) and ipr on my bottom front teeth. Ipr wasn't bad at all. I have attached pictures of my teeth with and without the aligners. I literally have NO PAIN whatsoever which makes me EXTREMELY worried :( hopefully it's bc I have a high pain tolerance. Well if you have questions or advice feel free to write below. Glad I'm finally starting this journey.
