I’ve been wondering how long it would take. Just this past week people have started to comment that they can see a real difference in my smile.
I’m at the end of my 5th set of aligners (out of 23). I’ve still got a way to go. This is the point in treatment where you sort of hit a rhythm I think. I have my routines down and there isn’t much newness to the process. I know I will be a little sore for a day or two when I start a new set of aligners and plan accordingly: put the aligners on at night, take an advil pm and dose again with advil if needed the first two days. Other than that it’s sort of same same. I’ve got this.
Until someone told me they saw a difference. Really!?
I couldn’t help but get out my first set of trays and the current ones and compare them. I was surprised that there was such a measurable difference that I could see on paper! I should note: I wrote Wk 5 but I actually change the trays every two weeks so it’s really been ten weeks.
I still have a ways to go but I think I can see a difference in my smile as well. Here’s the latest close up.
And here is the picture I posted when I started treatment. Can you see a difference?
I am a member of the Invisalign Mom Advisory Board. I have been compensated for my participation in this program. All opinions are my own.
I’ve bee thinking about trying invisaligh…but I’m worried about ending up with “real braces” at the end. I don’t know if I could handle that.
I am 23/26 trays into my treatment and I can’t believe the HUGE difference Invisalign has made. I do have a few “stubborn” teeth (mainly canines) that aren’t being very cooperative, but all in all I am extremely happy with the results so far. It took me until about tray 10-12 before I saw a BIG difference as compared to the first tray. Hang in there and it’ll happen! Good luck!
Yes!!! I can see a big difference!! I finished in June just before my 50th (ouch) birthday using Invisalign. I loved it and most of my friends did not even notice that I was wearing the Invisalign! You are going to have a beautiful smile!!
