- 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.

Before and after photos
So all finished. I've just got to wear a retainer now for a fortnight and I'm all done.
Cant recommend this treatment highly enough. Dr Semaan and his team are fantastic too.
Here are the before and after pics for those who are interested:

9 extra sets of trays
OK sorry for the delay in updating, the holiday period was mad for me.
I had the rescan and four weeks later went back to have all the dots removed and was given 9 new trays to help with the final alignment. This also required my two upper front teeth to have a little shaved off the sides where they meet, and one dot placed on my right eye tooth. The process was quick & stress free and its so GOOD to have the majority of those dots gone - I can eat without getting food lodged in them!
Each tray goes in for a week. I'm now on set 5 with 4 more to go. No bands! :) Either they forgot or didnt think them neccessary - I'm in no hurry to remind them.
Looking back on my old photos now really freaks me out - I cant believe I had such bad teeth for so long. To say Im happy with the results is a massive understatement . Ill post pics once I'm finished with the remaining trays and have the last dot removed.

Only one set to go....or so I thought!
Week 31, set 28 of 29 - very happy!
However the next set wont be my last. I saw the ortho a few weeks back and he wants to shave the sides of some of my more triangular teeth to remove what he calls "black triangles", and even up some of the biting edge to give a fully flat profile.
This also means another scan and another series of trays. Wont know how many until the trays come back in about four weeks. Also Ill need bands! not looking forward to that. Bottom line is I wont be tray-free for the holidays. The good news is however this wont cost me any extra :)
At this point Im so used to the trays I forget they are in. Ive actually gone to eat stuff and only remembered when Ive taken my first attempted bite - trust me, it doesn't work. Id also advise against eating two minue noodles if you dont have immediate access to a toothbrush - I popped my trays back in after munching down a packet and the colouring in the flavour sachet turned the trays fluoro yellow. Not a good look. Having said that I've drank loads of booze with them in and the only thing that discoloured them was Dark Rum & Coke. Took them out for red wine though.
I finally plugged my accelledent into my laptop, only to find big gaps in the history where Id let the battery go flat (Id been travelling a lot and did miss a day here and there, but nowhere near as much as the device claims.
So all good at this point, I get my teeth shaved this afternoon and Ill post an update then.

Provider Review
Dr Semaan
Very professional and on time which is a pleasant change from most medical professionals. Its a bit of a production line, but the staff are pleasant and friendly and take the time to know who's coming in that day so they greet you by name at reception. I'm not normally someone who gives out 5 star ratings, but these guys are exceptionally good.
