My Invisalign Journey - 1/4/2023 to present

I wanted to post this to show my progress and the time it has taken to get here. I am on my 5th revision, Tray 7 of 15 and am so amazed at my results. Slow and steady wins the race and I am in this to win this. I was told nine months but the process was more complicated than thought and I am so grateful to have been able to manage the process with Invisalign and not have to have surgery for a serious cross bite I have had all my life.

So my teeth are straight but my bite still needs an adjustment so I started a new set of trays on 4/29. If all goes as planned, I should be done with this set 11/25, two years and 10 months since the start of my treatment. I am very happy with the results so far. It has been worth the time and patience.

I am being treated for a cross bite. My first set of retainers began with 23 trays. My first revision I completed 17 of 19 trays before being rescanned for my second revision of 14 trays. My third revision was 5 trays. And my fourth revision is 7 trays which I will complete on 4/15/25. That will be 28 months of Invisalign treatment; I was told 9 months but knew it could be more. I wear my aligners except to eat and started wearing them for 10 days and then bumped up to 14 days. I am willing to do whatever revisions may be needed to get my teeth/bite perfect. I paid $5800 and will definitely get my monies worth!
