Just Got Invisalign!

I picked up my trays this afternoon during lunch.....I have 9 trays and I have to wear each tray for 3 weeks which means I will be done around Labor Day - way before the wedding! Hopefully there are no problems with them and it works I can't wait to have perfect straight teeth! This is so exciting! I have the first set in now and its not too bad yet Well, I just wanted to share my excitement!

My dentist wanted me to do this but I can't handle the cost of it right now.

Congrats on picking them up and getting done with them by labor day

cool! update how they are working!!!! ive always wondered about them!
I had braces for 3 years in middle school and the beginning of high school! it was horrible!!

Ok she is just adorable!

That's soooooo exciting!! Congrats

they do work, you just have to be commited.I have them as well but I am so bad with keeping them in. For the 1st 3 months I was loving it after that I couldnt be bothered. I should start again.

You actually see the difference pretty quickly

OMG i love her eyes - she has people eyes just like Pumpkin they even do the same pose Pumpkin is SOOOOOOO bad we are so afraid of leaving her to go on our honeymoon - she is the reason we havent been on a real vacation yet! FH's mom is going to watch her when we go but she is sooo hard to walk - she goes nuts when she sees other dogs and FH and I only trust ourselves walking her - so his Mom is having a deck built off of her kitchen and a fence put up just so she can let Pum outside in the backyard to go to the bathroom can you imagine - all that to watch a dog!

Congrats! My friend had it (I think much longer tho....like over a year) and it did wonders.

PS - I had braces for 3 years...never wore my retainer and my teeth shifted! Yikes...but not bad

YAY!

if you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost?

---

it was REALLY expensive....im sure i could have gotten them cheaper maybe if i shopped around or did the NYU thing but because of the wedding being under 1 year away i wanted it done as soon as possible so i just went to a friends cousin - it was more than 5K but i try not to think about it FH is helping me pay - he is paying the majority of it - we spent so much on our photo and video that the last thing i want to happen is that i hate the pics and video because of my teeth - so FH said just do it - they are the one thing that will last after the wedding is over (well as long as i wear my retainer ) but it totally ***** paying for them!!!!!

Nicole..I don't get it?!? Your teeth look perfectly straight to begin with though..why do you need them?

Congrat girls. I have to tell you though its a life changing experience. Make sure you adapt to it comfortably. I just completed mine 1 month ago. I am still wearing the same tray only to see if I need further work. I have to tell you, it's perfect. I wore mine for 8 months and sometimes it was a pain in the a s s.

Some tips to remember.

- Change each new tray right before going to bed and take an advil. It's doesnt hurt, just feels more like pressure.

- Stock up on nutriments shakes. I think the reason mine worker quikcer was because every time I changed a new tray, I left it in for 16 hours straight and all I did was drink shakes with a straw.

- Buy dentcare tablets in the pharmacy. It's like $6.00 for a box of 50. You should soak your trays in them for at least 15 mintues every night because it will keep the trays shiny.

- Always brush you teeth and floss before you put them back on. You dont want junk or gunk sticking in your teeth when you put them back on.

- If you have trouble taking them out and feel like your teeth is getting ripped out, pull from the back first.

Sorry for the long post. I know how excited you are because I was too when I first got mine. The only negative thing I have to say about invisalign is that I hated taking it out to eat 4-5 times a day so I just ate like 1-2 and it' worse that way. I think I must have gained 5lb from eating one big meal at night.

Good Luck~~~

I strategically pose in pictures at a certain angle and smile a certain way so you can't see them! One of my front teeth is crooked and it sticks out a little bit - also when i smile for real or laugh it looks like my teeth end after my fang teeth - my arch is really narrow so it looks like i have no teeth back there - but once again i always turn my head to the side in pictures so you can see that i have teeth back there and my bottom are all crooked!! I have been a master at disguising them!
