My baby has Damon braces!!!
Okay--this has absolutely nothing to do with my Invisalign, except that we're using the same orthodontist, but my eldest daughter, who is seven, just got Damon Braces yesterday! I had no idea they could start that young. This is what they call "Phase 1", which is to make space for her adult teeth to come in and, hopefully, push out her baby teeth. So far, her mouth is so crowded that that's not even been possible on the bottom. In her upper jaw it's been working fine, but in her lower jaw, she lost one tooth naturally and had another pulled, and nothing else yet.We're paying $2090 after a $2000 dental insurance payment for this first phase, which is estimated at 15 months but may end up being interrupted. So excited for her, so I had to share :). We also got a family discount, since I did Invisalign through the same doctor, and my husband got his Damon Braces through her.
I think my teeth are settling :)
I'm still using the Viveras and my teeth are back to where they're supposed to be. There's no longer a great deal of movement during the day, I think, so I'm feeling happy about how things are. I'm still using my cut-off bottom retainer and a full-length top retainer.
Will I never figure this out?
My two front teeth started getting tight again. So tight that food was getting stuck like in the old days, and it was harder to floss. Soooo I went back to the upper Vivera (Align Tech). I am immediately back to clenching, though it's less of an issue now because the equilibration and the half-aligner on the bottom. However, the teeth had shifted so much in the Hawley that I have trouble chewing after taking them out in the morning, just like when I was in aligners. I'd just have them cut off the upper retainer as well, but my teeth are moving all the way back to the first molars! So here is what I'm wondering. Are my new wisdom teeth possibly the culprits? They are coming in in my top jaw. If I go to a bonded retainer, will the same thing just happen? Gah. Do I have to go to full-time retainer-wear in order to get this sorted? I am not pleased. I don't think I can bear full-time Vivera retainers, with the chewing problems.But that's where I'm at, currently.
Provider Review
Her outcomes are phenomenal, but you have to push a bit for that last couple of percent. She'll end your treatment early if you let her, but she's also fine with extending it if your results need a little tweaking and you're not unreasonable. If you don't go over her original estimate for treatment, she doesn't charge extra for the refinements. I chose her because my husband got amazing results with her using Damon braces.
