Nearing the end?
Bringing out the two teeth has caused my overbite to increase by a couple mm, not much but it "feels" noticeable to me. When we did the mid-treatment re mold, we looked at correcting the overjet, but the computer models show that it would shift my midline to off center and that was really noticeable.
I did find about 6 months into treatment a little device that changed my life! A sonic denture or ortho device cleaner! The isonic F3900 ultrasonic cleaner on Amazon. It's fabulous! $35, and works better than brushing the trays. They get very clean with just water. I use retainer brite tablets in it, and have had no issue with the device or trays. I was initially using the Invisalign crystals available on the Invisalign site. However, they're pretty pricey if your OCD like me and using them twice per day! The retainer brite doesn't do quite as good, but they are fresh and clean, at a fraction of the cost. Also, no discolor from using toothpaste and no more accidentally tearing trays from brushing too hard.
Started Tray 2 last night, Aug 6
A little tight, but I am dealing! This tray I will try to be better and not drink coffee-at least the first week, with the tray in. I was surprised at how yellow my first tray was compared to the new one!
Halfway through first my first tray!
I don't think I have ever brushed my teeth so much in my life. It's such a hassle to take out the aligners to eat, I think this Invisalign could be a new weight loss thing. I find myself eating less often because I don't want to have to take them out, eat, brush my teeth, brush the aligners... Lol Might have straighter teeth and weigh less after this is all done! Win-win
Provider Review
I was referred to Dr. Gardner by my dentist, whose children also see Dr. Gardner-that was enough of a god reference for me! Her staff is very friendly and welcoming. Dr. Gardner was super friendly and made me feel comfortable. She was encouraging and also realistic, she knew what I wanted and didn't try to steer me into more than I was prepared to do. If I went with a 22 month program with bands I could achieve near perfect results. However, since the overbite didn't bother me, and Dr. Gardner knew I wasn't thrilled about wearing these longer than a year, she agreed that the short course of fixing the canines and crooked teeth was sufficient.
