Invisaligns

Woo hoo! I’m pretty excited about my new invisaligns. What are Invisaligns? Well you can find out details and see pictures by clicking here.

In a sense, they’re kind of like braces. Except you can take them on and off. So maybe that’s a little more like a retainer. I don’t know. All I know is, since high school I have wanted braces, so I'm excited to finally be getting something to straighten my teeth.

I had seen TV ads for the invisaligns and that peaked my interest. I was never worried about the “visual” effect of braces. I was, however, worried that braces would make my mouth too sore to sing…and I liked the idea that you could take the invisaligns in and out. When we took Maren to get braces, I found out that her doctor also does invisaligns so that worked out perfect.

So anyway, I’m going thru a minor time of adjustment right now, as I get used to wearing these things. But I’m happy to say that they are so much more comfortable today than they were yesterday. Yesterday I was having trouble saying my S’s. So when I called clients and said “this is Melissa Milbourn”, I sounded like Sylvester the cat…it was quite hilarious.

If I understood the doctor correctly, I’ll have to wear them for approximately 30 weeks.

If by chance you’re reading this and might be interested in the same treatment, my dentist is Dr. Jess Holler. What a great name for a dentist!
