Hello there, okay so I have always had a problem with how my teeth look, but have always been worried about wearing the traditional metal brace, and being put off by the cost too meant I have just put up with my suffering of overcrowding and crooked teeth; not to mention discoloured.
Recently I had been thinking about using the Invisalign treatment, well for a few months and last month I decided to take the plunge! I visited my Dentist and had a few check ups which gave me the all clear, no problems with my teeth, a visit to the hygienist for a clean of my gums and then I was set for my initial appointment.
What I plan to do for this blog is to run through all the steps I went from my initial review right up to finishing the treatment. I will be offering my personal opinion on how I find the treatment, the costs, the pains, the good and the bad. If you have any questions you can comment me here and I will do my best to answer and hopefully this will inspire others to do the same and finally get the smile they have always wanted. Similarly if you have the aligners I would love to hear from you about your experiences too!
Thanks for reading.

Hey Adam, just wanted to say thanks so much for sharing your experience with us all, your’s is one of the only sites I can find that actually follow the whole experience from beginning to end! I’ve got my impressions appointment soon which I’m nervous about as it really means I’m committed to this whole process. I was wondering whether you had to have attachments on your front two teeth at all? How did you find the attachments, were they really noticable?
Thanks and by the way your teeth look soooo fantastic, every time I get a wobble about going through with it I look at your blog and it keeps me focused on what the end result can look like!! x
Hello Suzie, thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment. It’s comments like these which make me keep this blog going, so thank you.
To answer your question, I didn’t have attachments in the front two teeth, although I did have 7 all together, which you can see from some of the pictures but they weren’t too noticeable. Since then I’ve had them removed, and I’ve found the trays don’t stay in very well, but my new impressions should be done and the new trays ready in a couple of weeks, which should hopefully then finish off my treatment
Thank you again for the kind comments.
Adam.
