My Invisalign® journey: Work, eating, exercising and socialising

Yes I was so embarrassed to open my mouth some times as a kid

Looks good :)

I wonder if I'd have had this treatment if it had been available in my youth

I could have done with having my teeth straightened many years ago but now my crooked teeth are here to stay.

Another update would be great. Definitely something that can make a huge difference to someone who really needs help.

Thanks for sharing.

It's so good to see Invisalign being promoted so much. I just finished my journey and they were the best thing I've ever done. It meant that I didn't have to have a mouth full of wire for my wedding and not have to change your diet at all. Now I only have to wear a retainer at night and I almost miss wearing the Invisalign all the time. Like Kate, I still also constantly carry around toothpaste and a toothbrush at least to use after eating so I definitely agree that the whole thing made my oral care much better. Keep going with your teeth journey. You'll be so amazed by the transformation!!

A nice change from metal braces

I remember for me that the worst of the soreness was in the first 24 hours and I could take a panadol or two to help with that which was cool. It is a very exciting thing to have done and see the changes each time the trays are renewed every two weeks!

This is a great option for adults! I'd still go for the normal braces for school age children - it's pretty much the norm. Good to see Kate being diligent with her teeth care - that oral care kit is a great idea.

Looking so good so far

I've been thinking of getting these done to correct my teeth that have altered as an adult. They look fantastic to use.

I had braces as a teen but can't remember whether Invisalign was even an option. I think it was, but because my teeth were so badly crooked & I was already seeing the signs of receding gums, I couldn't have it. I still wouldn't be able to since the receding has got worse (it's confined to my bottom gums though), so if I had to have braces again then I'd have to have the traditional type.

It looks so much easier to live with than "proper" braces.

Looking good :)

Looks great so far!!! You can really see it is growing your confidence too!!!

If only these had been around when I was a kid. I remember the teasing but I never cared about that but some other kids were totally crushed. Its just such a dram getting braces on...or it was back then ...things have changed so much now. Back when I was a kid you needed a silver bar that wrapped around each tooth and then the wire linking them all together.....what a drama.

Looks like a good alternative to braces.

I had braces as a teenager and these were around but they were double the price of my braces at the time.

I am glad that the treatment is working so well for you.

Luckily I haven't needed any form of braces. Invisalign seems to be a much simpler method of teeth straightening than conventional braces. Also not as noticeable.

So many amazing advancements have been made in dentistry, though none of it's helped with my dentist phobia. Looks like its working really well for you

I had Invisalign for 18 months, results are amaze! Great alternative to braces.

Looks great, these seems so much easier/more convenient than traditional braces.

This treatment is amazing! Love the new tech....I am in the middle of very pricey one too, so hope it all goes to plan. Keep smiling Kate, you have beautiful smile regardless!
