We've had a few issues with notifications since updating the site. Someone asked you a couple of questions about Propel on your September 26 update that I'd also love to hear answers to :).

I'm only new on here, I've been lurking for a little while and just about to post my story, but I wanted like to say your teeth look amazing!
Omg. Your smile looks amazing now!
Also, who is your orthodontic? I'm also in the Philadelphia area and am currently on my 16th tray. But I need to accelerate this process.
Thanks so much! Dr Michael Tuman in mt airy! If you visit him tell him I you saw my process on Realself!

Post Invisalign- Gum resection
Today I got my gum surgery and my attachments off and I'm feeling great! In person my gums look perfectly even but in the pic if looks a little off. I'm happy with it, it was painless and cost me an additional $225 so I'm almost $7,000 in on this teeth job! I pick my retainer up tomorrow :)

Did you choose what kind of retainer you're getting? Your gum lift looks great! I wonder if it's just angles or something that makes it uneven-looking. In the one picture from the side it looks perfectly even, certainly. So glad you're happy with your result. You look fabulous and your smile is radiant! :D:D:D:D:D
I am so happy you enjoyed your Invisalign journey. I just started mine yesterday and also opted into propel. I was wondering if there were any side effects? I feel like my anesthesia didn't work quite well because I did feel a bit of pain during the process. They added more but alas. I had significant pain the same day. There was bleeding after. I started with Tylenol but after 6 hours I was still in significant pain so the doctor prescribed Tylenol 3. The next day I'm noticing white peeling along my gums. I just wanted to know if you had a similar experience and/or if this sounds normal. Thanks!!! Your blog is so awesome by the way. Best one I've read on Invisalign and propel yet!
@Hlroth please share your journey with us! We don't have anyone else who's done Propel and blogged about it, other than Maiganb! One person's experience is useful, but two is 100% more useful! Please, please consider it. Most people think AcceleDent is the only way to go!
I loved the result of the propel! I felt very little soreness and I started changing my trays weekly abt two weeks after the procedure. It wasn't too expensive and it cut my tray time in half! I was finished 18 trays in 5 n 1/2 months!
@hlroth oh no! I didn't experience anything like that! He numbed me up really good and the whole thing took about ten mins. I didn't need any pain meds after and the next day it was like id never had it done. But I only got it on my top so maybe it could be that I didn't have my entire mouth done that I didn't experience much pain.
Yes, of course! I'm not sure how to start. I'm a newbie here.
That's awesome! :) After 3 days I didn't feel any pain anymore. They said I would need to do 2 propel treatments. The first day I started invisalign and 3 months in. I agree, the pain I felt is worth cutting my time down.
@Hlroth, click on this link and it'll take you to the start form! Thank you :):):)
You look amazing! What was the gum surgery for? Did you end up with black triangles after fixing the overlap? I am thinking of doing Invisalign... have overlapping front teeth on the top much like you used to have, and am wondering if this is something I would have to worry about.
I would be, too. You look like a million bucks!!! Perfect smile :D. Congratulations, again!
