Kind of Frustrated

Well, it's been a year now, and my top teeth are almost done - 38th tray out of 42, but things are far from perfect. During my last regular appointment, I mentioned that both my trays were not sitting correctly. For the bottom ones, my ortho agreed and I had the choice of getting traditional braces on a few of my teeth, or waiting to get new impressions, because my tooth had tipped in where my extraction had been. I chose to get the traditional braces, so now I have 3 traintracks on the bottom. You can't see them, but I find it a real pain in the butt because food is ALWAYS getting caught in them. At that same appt, my complaint about the top tray was that it was not sitting right on one lateral incisor, and the canine next to it. He checked the top tray and said it was fine. By the next tray it was sitting even worse, and I went back. This time he agreed, and they took the canine attachment off, and repositioned it as much tighter as they could. It was a minor improvement, but I'd hoped it would kick off some movement for the teeth to settle into the tray. Now, I'm on the next tray and it's just as bad again. There is a gap between the bottom of my tooth and the tray, so bubbles accumulate, and the upper edge of the tray is sitting so low on my tooth it's very visible and 2 people have asked me what's on there....GRRR. My ortho is on vacation until Sept 3 now, so I'm stuck looking like a weirdo for weeks. The left side of my teeth, which were less problematic to begin with, look just wonderful, and it's such a bummer that the other side did not rotate into position as it should have....More on this when he is back from his vacation I guess. Pics below with and without my trays in.

Without trays in:






With trays in, you can see the tray pretty clearly on my right side, at least you can't see the traditional braces:

Hi Dawna, I really like your blog. I work for Antibraces.com and I would love to interview you about your Invisalign experience. Let me know if you are interested. My email is babel@antibraces.com thanks

Hi Dawna!

I didn't know you'd been posting here again. I used to check frequently, but you know how that goes.....

Your teeth look great to me! Sorry you had to go the train-track route on the lowers, but that's the only choice I had decades ago. I survived, even had to have the lower ones put back on, too. Major bummer, but worth it.

Hugs! Barbara :D

I have just started Invisalign and have had my first set of trays in for only one and half days. I too have noticed bubbles between my bottom teeth and the tray where it does not fit properly, making the tray even more visible. Do you know if this is a common problem? Thanks!

Besides the cosmetic benefits, a key advantage of invisible braces is that they are more hygienic than traditional metal “train tracks” which run across the teeth.

Hi Dawna! Your teeth do look great! Mine was, well, a bit worse. But thankfully, I was able to save enough money and I will have a consultation next week with my dentist in Maryville, TN. Cosmetic dentistry will definitely help me achieve the smile and teeth I've been dreaming of. Having the perfect set of teeth will certainly boost anyone's confidence. Anyway, it is good to know of many reliable dentists. Maryville, TN is always a lovely place to visit.

Hope you'll get the result you've been wanting!

Hi Dawna! I felt the same frustration you once had upon wearing braces, but you're lucky enough that you already got your teeth fixed and said goodbye to your braces. Unlike me who still have it on and I'm still having continuous dental checkups with our Mount Pleasant dentist.

we all want to have a beautiful smile..for most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.

I think that what you wrote was very logical. But, think on this, what if you composed a catchier post title?

I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added something that makes people want more? I mean "Kind of Frustrated" is kinda plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create news titles to
grab viewers to click. You might add a related video or a picture
or two to grab people excited about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
