TRAY 15!

It's been a long time!! But i'm pleased to say I have nearly finished the course of my treatment. I have received trays 16, 17, 18 and 19 out of 23 so a few more months to go!

here are a few pictures of my progress

Tray 3

My progress so far!

So first tray with my attachments killllleledleld! but i sort of loved it! ;)

Picturesss

Okay so these pictures are of my teeth before the treatment

So as you can see that tooth on my upper jaw is hiding away and i want it to come out of hybernation! Also a few misaligned teeth on my lower jaw!


And this is me with my aligners in

I'm telling you they don't look as noticeable as this!! I mean this is a defined picture of a close up so please don't let this put you off!! Get invisalign! 

GOT MY ALIGNERS!

Got a call yesterday telling me my aligners are in and i should make an appointment for today! Went there and the orthodontists told me to slip them on (told me i was a pro) and take them off. I was so amazed as to how invisible they are, i can't even see them myself, I'M NOT EVEN JOKING!! I will be getting my attachments in a month (two on my front teeth) so i dunno how invisible they'll be then but for now i'm really happy. He gave me my trays and only one container thing to put my aligners in - reading and watching previous blogs, i had thought i'd be getting two but i only got the red one. He then booked me for next month when i'll be getting my attachments!

When i first put them on they didn't feel tight at all and i thought i'd try my second trays on to see if there was any difference. To my surprise my second trays did not fit my back teeth so I'm thinking that my first trays are actually moving my teeth even though they don't feel tight. After two hours of wearing them, I put my aligners in some water and ate my dinner. When i finished, brushed my teeth and aligners, i slipped them back in and they felt really tight (really like the feeling btw).

That's it for now, will update soon. Also I will be putting pictures up when my phone is charged ;)

X-Ray and Scanning

I'm a 17 year old girl who had previously had braces but didn't wear the retainers (hehe, naughty) and so therefore, my teeth had shifted!! I wanted invisalign because I didn't think the thought of me getting braces again were very appealing as I have a job where it's very customer based and it's also working with food, I also go to college and so I didn't want people to notice I was fixing my teeth. So, after doing some research and visiting loads of orthodontics I finally decided on invisalign.

I had my first proper appointment yesterday and after reading some blogs I was quite nervous with getting my moulds taken. But, just to my surprise they had this little scanning machine which could take your bite digitally. What they basically do with the scanner is scan over every tooth which takes quite a while and it blows air into your mouth which makes your mouth so dry. Once they scan every tooth they ask you to bite down to scan your bite. After that, the Dr took me into an x-ray room. Not only did i have wonky teeth but I found out that my wisdom teeth are in a very weird position to grow and the roots haven't formed yet! D: scary! After the x-rays were finished, he took me back to the room and we had a look at my teeth from the front, side and from inside/back (which i'd never seen before). My teeth are in bad shape! After all that was done I signed a few forms and the receptionist told me that the clincheck video would be ready in 2-4 weeks and they would email it to me. If I was completely happy with the results I would then have to email back to confirm everything and I would then be able to get my aligners after 10-14 days after confirming!!! I read some blogs saying it would take 6-8 weeks, but I guess I'm just lucky. So hopefully I'll be starting my invisalign journey by september, so excited!
