How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

OMG I am changing to 33/34 in 2 days!
I don't post much on here now, as the changes seem to be so subtle I don't really notice them. My top teeth are finished ( ended with 28) and so I'm just in the last stages of the bottom. I have been changing every 11 days for a while now and all is going well, so my treatment will have been for 14 months, not 16 as initially planned. I will still have to have some work done once I've done my 3 months full time with retainers. I have to have some old silver fillings replaced and will probably have some 'prettying up' done but the teeth are in position and I'm happy as Larry! They will never be perfect, but gee, they are a hundred times better than they were.
Sticky out eye teeth are now in, inward facing incisors are now out and the overcrowding on the bottom is a thing of the past. all standing up straight in a row...how exciting for me!
I found an old photo of me with a wide smile ( very unusual due to those teeth) and wow, the difference is amazing. Friends and family comment all the time on the improvement, so this girl is very happy. I won't have refinements, although 2 teeth haven't quite performed as they should have, but I'm happy ( and had enough as well of the whole plastic mouth thing- lets get these retainers started!)

23/34
Just posting an up to date pic as the last one was 3 months ago and the changes are evident! Today I am wearing trays 23 of 34 and so looking forward to being able to say I have under 10 to go. I am having lots of people notice my changes and so that makes me very happy :)
There's nothing much to report apart from the usual chafing and irritation, but that's just a part of the journey and so I just get on with it. The food getting stuck in the gaps is getting less these days too so that's another positive. Roll on the next 5 & 1/2 months!

Nearly halfway!
I'm on Tray 16 of 34.
Well its been a while since I posted, and although I know there has been massive changes in my teeth,I feel its not all that noticeable unless you are peering in my mouth! But when I look at my first pic, I see changes and am happy! Those 2 little Top front teeth that were sloping backwards have come forward a lot and they are not as little as they seemed, my 2 'fang' incisors are moving into place and now they don't seem so big! And my little bottom teeth that were all crossing over and leaning inwards are also coming forward and I have gaps between them. The only downside to gaps mean tons of food stuck between them and Dental Floss is my constant companion. But I'm happy with the progress, my dentist tells me that my top teeth were actually halfway after Tray 14 as they are only 28 trays, the last 6 will in effect be just retainers.
I won't lie, I'll be happy when this is all done. my major gripe is constant irritation inside my mouth, each new set brings soreness to a different spot inside my cheeks, Thank god for Dental Wax, I just find I use it intensely for the first few days of a new set until the teeth have made their little move and the irritation subsides. But as I'm shortly on the downhill run I'll suck it up and get on with things....A nice smile without horrible overcrowded teeth will be my reward!
