As some of you might know already, I finally decided to get Invisalign to help straighten my teeth last November! This blog is all about my process, Invisalign treatment, why I wanted to get them, the procedure, and how I continue to enjoy my life here in the Philippines with Invisalign.
I am very excited to be starting this blog to write down my experiences, thoughts, and results of my Invisalign treatment!!
I was fortunate enough to learn about Invisalign from a dear friend two years ago. I saved up, planned for it, and here I am!
I have always been very self conscious about my teeth. They are uneven and not very attractive. I am a natural comic but I hate how much I would worry before about how my teeth look when having my photo taken or conversing up-close. I should have had braces when I was younger but didn't since I was traumatized with dentists when I was a child in Davao and big metal braces in my mid-30's is not something that appeals to me now. To have Invisalign is like a dream come true for me! Invisalign is almost invisible and suits my lifestyle more than any other dental brace treatment options. I couldn't wait to get started!
It was great to talk to the Invisalign PH Team who helped me start my Invisalign race to straighter teeth! The whole team at Invisalign PH are so nice and I feel very blessed to be having my Invisalign treatment.
To tell you about my treatment so far, my Invisalign doctor provider near my home in Pasig talked me through the whole dental treatment process of Invisalign, what I should expect and how long my treatment should take. She also had my teeth's rubber impressions, X-rays, and a series of photos taken--diagnostic requirements for an Invisalign treatment. Afterwhich, my impressions were sent off to the US for scanning!
After 2 weeks, I went back to my dentist to see my ClinCheck results which let me see a virtual 3D review of my Invisalign treatment process, which can also determine the goals for each treatment stage. This is on a computer and it demonstrates the series of movements that the teeth will go through as the treatment progresses, from the current teeth position to the final desired position, reviewing each stage and showing the final expected results of how my teeth will look like at the end. Only Invisalign has this ClinCheck Program. After reviewing my Invisalign treatment plan and we were both happy about it, my doctor approved it to have my customized aligners manufactured!
Oh, I have to go now. I will write another blog as soon as I get some free time to let you know how it was when my Invisalign box arrived and how I felt when my treatment started!
