Nubs off!
WORTH IT$6,100
Today is the day I get these nubs off, get my permanent retainer on the bottom, and get fitted for my regular retainers!! Woot woot!!! I am so excited to be pretty much done with this process. I still truly believe it was worth it... but it was tough to keep going after a year honestly. Between tears over lost invisi's (found weeks later), sore teeth, a lisp, and grungy trays every 2 weeks - it is going to be nice going out into the world without them and not having to "suck up" before removing them at the table of a nice restaurant. True story. At the end of the day I am glad this was available to me instead of traditional braces. Now onward and upward with a beautiful smile. Love it!!!!

Captains Log: Two more trays left...
So I can't believe it has been SO LONG since I posted an update. I have been extremely busy with work and life that I completely spaced this. So I am pretty pleased with my results to date. There are still some things I am not happy with, and maybe this will come up with refinements. If not, I am pretty happy with how broad and beautiful my smile has become even with some minor imperfections. With the cost of this process - I am more apt to say to price it out with different providers. I think I WAY overpaid for my aligners versus others with way worse teeth. I am just saying. But I will always be glad I did it. I hope everyone is coming along well in their process. As for those who really want to change this aspect of themselves... it is worth it in the end.

Thanks so much!!
Wow your teeth look great :-) I'm only half way through but am beginning to see improvements and you're right, it's so worth it!! Good luck with refinements - when are you getting re-scanned? X
Thanks! I get rescanned December 7th - yay! My ortho says I am actually right on track so hopefully I am nearing the end. Good luck to you as well!!! It goes so fast (thankfully!)
It does go surprisingly fast! I see you're in Las Vegas - it's good to know there are Invisalign providers there...I'm flying there in March for my honeymoon! You never know, I might have an Invisalign related emergency haha!
Have fun! Let me know if you want to know about any great places to see while you are here... I don't know if you have been here before but there is so much more than the Strip. Congrats on the upcoming nuptials!
Welcome back and wow!! Your smile looks fantastic. So happy you checked in :)

Looking good! I am only a month in. Change to tray 3 tomorrow. Seems like so long before I will see significant changes. But like you say flossing gets easier so obviously things are a movin'! So happy I am doing this for myself. It has definitely be easier than I expected. I had braces as a teen and I just love being able to take them off to eat!
How many trays do you have? I saw results earlier than 7 months, but not significantly until then. If you already had braces - you are definitely in a better situation. I wish I would have had them then... so you are two steps ahead!
I have 20 trays for my initial treatment. Hoping not to have refinements but judging from what I've read here seems most people get them. Tray 3 when in fine yesterday. Always a bit nervous before tray change that the new tray won't fit! It was a bit tight but already feels pretty good today. So happy about that. The pressure is there but doesn't hurt or anything. I filed a bit before wearing them and they seem ok. Tray 2 edges were killer on my poor toungue! Had to fo quite bit of filing on those ones. Either these are better or my toungue is getting tougher! Lol!
