Leave a Post About Your Experience with Invisalign

As a teenager I was always self conscious about my teeth and would barely smile. I grew up with a fear of the dentist and would only go if absolutely necessary, so braces were out of the question. In school I was taunted about my teeth because I had an extreme overbite and a space between my teeth. My lack of smiling caused people to view me as unfriendly and I was perceived as so. The fact that I was insecure about my teeth caused me to talk as least as possible because that would mean I would have to open my mouth. I always said if I could fix one thing about myself it would be my teeth in a heartbeat.

When I learned about Invisalign in my mid twenties I knew this would be the perfect solution. I could never picture myself with metal brackets on my teeth or the discomfort associated with it. The day I got Invisalign I was extremely excited because I saw what the end results would be on the clinical check and could not wait to get started. I was shocked at how easy and manageable the treatment was. No one could tell I had them on, even though I told everyone because I was so proud that I was finally getting my teeth fixed. Once I was finished I couldn’t believe I had the smile I always envied and dreamed about.

Now people always tell me how beautiful my smile is and I have to think about it before I say thank you because I am not used to hearing it. Since finishing the treatment I have become much more outgoing and social and I can smile without being self conscious.
