One week ago I had my consultation for Invisalign. Recently while visiting family I found a picture of 16 yr old me the day I had my braces off and thought wow that's how straight they were. After being an immature teenager and not wearing my retainers and my wisdom teeth coming in. My teeth were no longer the pretty straight teeth they once were. I was set on fixing that! So this Wednesday I will be having my scans for my trays! And I am beyond excited!

Good for you! I'm much, much older than you but intend to be religious about wearing the retained after my Invisalign process is complete which should be early in 2016. It's great you have that old photo to use as inspiration over the next many months of trays! Good luck with everything!

Have to delay scans till after November 4th

I have 3 fillings that have to be fixed and even though I was under the impression since they weren't new fillings it would be okay, my orthodontist called today and said that if my teeth change at all from the fillings we would have to do the scans all over! Makes sense! So I'm bummed but my apt for my fillings is November 4th so I will try and make my scans for that day or the next!

Time for SCANS!

paulampack
tomorrow i finally get my scans, after having to delay the first apt for some much needed dental work. I had to get 4 fillings fixed! There was one on each part of my mouth so it was some pretty extreme dental work for one day. Now that it's done i get my scans tomorrow! I am so excited to be on my way to straight teeth. A little worried about where my buttons will be and also nervous because I almost always wear lip stick and now im not sure i will be able too!.

I've always worn lipstick and was disappointed that I wasn't going to be able to with the Invisalign - I look so washed out without lipstick. I have found Maybelline 24 Hours lipstick & balm pretty good. It doesn't stain my trays or stick to them. The only trick is that you need to use some kind of makeup remover at the end of the day to actually get the color layer off completely. The balm coat can be applied several times a day and works well.
