This time I will be recording my journey of Invisialign- the invisible braces.
A few years ago when my wisdom teeth started coming out they were growing at wrong angles and caused me the uttermost painful few months and resulted in moving the rest of my teeth and making them look over crowded.
After discussions with my dentists, they sent me to get my lower wisdom teeth removed at St Thomas hospital, They put me under local anaesthetic and apparently I cried and didn't stop moving the whole time and had a very difficult time waking up.
Never the less I am now two teeth less and left with an overcrowded bottom set of teeth, something that has made me quite cautious for a while.
I went back to my dentist and we suggested getting fixed braces and the removal of teeth, this scared me and I went on my way to think about my options.
After two years of umming and ahhing about what to do I was overwhelmed with joy when my orthodontist suggested a process called Invisalign.
A secret removable brace.
After intensive research I decided this was the way forward for me and have now started my Invisalign journey.
These removable braces remind me of gum shields. They are great for people like me, who are no longer teenagers and want to improve their smile, without the obvious train tracks and pain normal braces provided.
The advantages- The disadvantages-
Invisible Have to brush your teeth as many times as you eat
Relatively pain free Not allowed to drink anything but water with them in
Easy to remove and clean
Whiter teeth
