How it works

- 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.

Final picture
Finally over
I'm a little late posting this, but this journey is finally over. I got my final crown about 6 months ago. I wasn't used to it at first and there were some problems along the way with the fit and color, but overall I'm happy with the outcome. Looking at my pictures, I've come a long way in a short period of time. I am smiling all the time now :)
Hope this has helped anyone looking to do Invisalign!!

After the Dental Implant
So I went to get my post and crown put in on 9-13-13. Unfortunately something went wrong with the ordered temporary crown and it didn't screw in properly to post so I was left with my Invisalign and pontic until 9-21-13 when the replacement part came in. Readers don't be too scared because they let me know it was RARE. Figures...
I attached the picture of what the post looked like and now the temporary. It is not the exact color or size the permanent is going to be but they told me the final will be perfect. I just need to make sure everything healed properly and wait for the crown to be made. I'm guessing it will be another month??
To get the temporary was not difficult at the oral surgeons. It was around 45 mins and I just had local anesthetic.... almost painless. There was a little discomfort after but nothing major. In normal circumstances, I would have left with the temporary crown that day right there.
A little secret....
I starting to drink all the time with my braces on (nothing scorching hot). It's too inconvenient to take them out. I balanced that with regular cleaning though. I used EFFERDENT Power Crystals around every 3 days. It said it was good for retainers and only takes 3 minutes to soak. You can get it at the grocery store or pharmacy. It has been a life saver! It really cleans the trays awesomely! All you do is soak 3 mins and then use a toothbrush on it to scrub a little under water and they come out super clean and fresh!
So... I'll post again when I get my permanent.
