For my Invisalign Review, my dentist sent me an animation of the hopeful transformation of my teeth from start to finish (over the entire year/26 retainers period). Check it out and let me know what you think. The little pink bumps are the Invisalign attachments or Invisalign Buttons (where the retainer locks onto my teeth).
Invisalign Review – Sometimes These Trays Destroy My Lips
This happens from time to time I’ve noticed and I’d like to talk about it a bit in my Invisalign Review. Every now and then, this has actually happened about five or six times since I’ve started with my Invisalign treatment. What happens is that the Invisalign trays (or only my Invisalign trays) seem to […]
Invisalign Review – I’ve Been Bad
Yesterday was my first Invisalign Review blog post back in a long time and It’s very good to be back. However I got to fill you in on something that I probably shouldnt be telling you or my dentist. I’ve been kind of bad or lazy with some of the cleaning of my Invisalign Retainers […]
Invisalign Review – I’m Back!!!
My Invisalign Review continues! Sorry for the delay everyone who has been following me. I’ve been extremely busy with working a few different jobs, family issues and a few others things going on. Also my dentist had to have the Invisalign people send for more trays at tray number ten. A lot has changed and […]
Invisalign Review – Retainer 7/26
Times flying by.. It seems like it was only yesterday when I had received my first set of Invisalign Retainers/Aligners. Now I’m almost 1/3 of the way done and going strong! I’ve definitely found my comfort zone with Invisalign that’s for sure. Lately I’ve been good but seem to slack about 30 minutes after eating […]

Invisalign Review – An Invisalign Animation From Start To Finish

Benson Team Invisalign Review – Invisalign Attachements – Will People Notice?
August 30th, 2011 Benson Team 
So here is the biggest part about my Invisalign Review that I’m not too fond of. My dentist has to file down my teeth and put these little bumps or buttons on my teeth made out of a composite material. These little bumps are called “Invisalign Attachments” or “Invisalign Buttons”.
I know what most of you are thinking…
“It can’t be that bad”, “No one will notice”, etc. Well one attachment has to go on one of my front teeth! Not happy at all.
The purpose of the Invisalign Attachment is to make the trays stay on your teeth. The trays pop on an pop off in a sense..
Has anyone had attachments on their front teeth before? How did they feel? Were they noticeable?
Here is a picture of what an Invisalign Attachment looks like…
Invisalign Review – Invisalign Pictures Before The Procedure
August 29th, 2011 Benson Team I’ve obtained pictures for my Invisalign Review of my crooked teeth from my dentist..
Crooked Teeth, Before Invisalign (front profile)
As you can see on the left side of the picture, I have a noticeable gap that bothers me the most out of all the problems that i have with my teeth. The fact that I have fangs bother’s me a little bit too because it’s noticeable in pictures. Both fangs on the top are slightly turned outward. Invisalign would angle them inword eliminating the gap.
Crooked Teeth, Before Invisalign (left side profile)
This side isn’t as bad. No gap between the teeth, just the tooth next to the front tooth on the top row is a little bit recessed.
Crooked Teeth, Before Invisalign (right side profile)
In this picture of my crooked teeth, you will be able to notice what the ortho’s were talking about in terms of needing braces with rubber bands. As you can see, I have a bit of an underbight. My top teeth actually hold my bottom teeth in. The concern was that the bottom teeth would lay outward more and come out beyond the top two front teeth. My dentist and the Invisalign animation showed that It probably wouldn’t happen… This is where I’m taking a chance…. :S
Crooked Teeth, Before Invisalign (bottom profile)
Notice that the bottom row of teeth is crooked and crowded…
Crooked Teeth, Before Invisalign (top profile)
The top row of teeth isn’t as bad but you can see that the teeth next to the front two are a bit recessed…
I hope that these pictures will help you understand my situation during my Invisalign Review and where Invisalign will take me.
