Invisalign Update
Those, well. Are my teeth, obviously.
I thought I was due for an Invisalign update post. Not that I have a comparison picture up for you here, but I thought a photo might be helpful. I am on tray 17 out of 30, for top and bottom of my original trays- I have no idea if I will have refinements yet, fingers crossed for no. And I have a total of 8 attachments, 6 top/2 bottom. I also have a power ridge on my left central incisor.
If you can't tell, I'm wearing my Invisalign in the photo. The terrible quality is attributed to the front camera with low lighting on an iPhone, sorry about that. In my opinion, they're much more obvious in photos, especially close up than they are in real life. Lighting causes increased shadows and shine.

Invisalign
Hello there!
I've been debating writing this post for a while, but coming from a recent orthodontics appointment, now seemed like a good time. I have Invisalign braces, which are clear orthodontic devices used as a braces alternative. I started the treatment in July of 2012 and am only on tray 6 of 30.
Each case requires a different number of tray sets, and not everyone is eligible to use the devices. A consultation with an Invisalign certified orthodontist will tell you whether or not your dental problems can be solved in this manner. The process is fairly simply. From consultation, molds are made and sent in to Align.
