Invisalign: The End of The Journey

end of Invisalign journey
Straight teeth again! Pleased is an understatement.

Last week I finished almost 2 year’s worth of orthodontic treatment on my poor old choppers. Due to my nightly gnashing, they had gone from being relatively straight, to a right mess.

This is how crooked they were:

Every which way but loose (and straight up and down). Pushed in, pushed back, pushed over top of each other…

Once upon a time, I DID have straight teeth:

As a young teenager. Check out the granny glasses! Yep, it was the early 1970s!

Forty-five years later, I love my smile again. My overbite was corrected too.

You can bet I will be faithfully wearing my retainer every night from now until the end of (my) time, to protect my investment.

Rock on,

The WB

    1. Oh thank you Joanne, you are too kind! I hated what my smile had turned into and am so glad I did this! Give me wrinkles, white hair, age spots, and saggy skin – those I can handle so long as my teeth are straight. 😁

      1. I too have noticed that my teeth aren’t as straight as they used to be. It never occurred to me that it was because of teeth grinding. Now that I know, I hope I don’t start obsessing over it!

  1. Hi, Deb – You look absolutely radiant! Your smile is gorgeous!! Congratulations on your determination and persistence — it has made a very positive difference (although I do agree with Joanne, you are beautiful both before and after)!

  2. I had braces, the real kind, then finished up with invisalign when I was an adult. I’m thrilled for you to have straight teeth. I’ve always considered it money well spent and wear my retainer every stinking night so keep my investment perfect. How wonderful that you now have the smile you wanted and deserved.
