After more than 3 months of waiting, I finally got my first set of Invisalign trays. They’re not nearly as uncomfortable as I thought they would be. I didn’t really think about how anal I’d have to get about my oral hygiene, but that might even be a bonus. Also, since I do have to be so conscientious of it, I doubt I’ll be as given to snacking as I normally am. Also a bonus since I quit smoking a month ago, and don’t want to pack on as many pounds as I did last time.
My dentist even gave me a bleaching kit as a “way to go” present for quitting that I can use with my aligner trays.
After insurance and the discount for being my dentist’s guinae pig, they cost us $2960. It’s a lot of money, BUT, seriously less than what I’ve been seeing that others had to pay. Plus, I think it will be very much worth it in the long run. My dentist says that having my teeth more properly spaced will reduce any dental issues in the future. Besides, it’ll be nice to have two “good sides.”
