FINISHED!

HI ......for all you who are new to my journey I began invisalign back in July 2011. I am now completely finished and almost about to go on to night time wear of my retainers.

I am super pleased with my results the dentist also gave me some whitening as part of my deal which made my teeth look even better although it was quite fiddly doing this as I had to put the gel into my trais each day over 2 weeks for an hour.

I may have some more After photos to come from the dentist but I couldn't wait any longer to share these:

XD SOOOO COOL! ..... As for retainers they are very similar to the invisalign tray just slightly thicker more durable plastic and NO BUMPS wooop which makes a huge difference to the appearance! Also some people worry about decay with invisalign, I honestly have brushed my teeth after every meal however when a night out has come up I have worn my trays but continued to drink. I did end up needing one filling however this was tiny and most probably already a weak spot before I started the treatment. ( It was my first and only filling)

Retainers

Hi ,

I have been asked about what will happen at the end of my treatment...

I will get vivera retainers which are clear plastic trays just like the invisalign trays. However there will be no bumps on these as the attachments will be removed. I will get 3 sets of these all exactly the same so they will hopefully last me forever if I am careful. I will wear the retainer permanently like an invisalign tray for 3-6 months (not sure exactly how long) then gradually ease into night time wear only. But I will wear these on a night forever. I know so many people who had their teeth straightened at school, stopped wearing their retainer and their teeth are already back a bit crooked after 4 years.

I did ask about having a fixed wire retainer on the back of my teeth. My ortho said if I had, had spaced out teeth that where going to get pulled in. Then she would offer me both a fixed retainer and a removable one. But as my teeth were over crowded she will only offer the removable one. Apparently this is because the fixed retainer will only hold the front 6 teeth in place the ones further back would still be free to move about. Hope this helps :) xxx

Changing to tray 27 tonight :D !

Tray 26

I am nearing the end of my bottom trays. 2 more to go for them and 9 more to go on top.  Honestly think my teeth look so much better now. My last appointment to get retainer moulds done will be Monday 26th November as long as everything keeps going as planned.

Here are some current photos :
