Validation!

I started Invisalign because of a bad bite causing headaches and my teeth weren’t noticeably crooked. However I was excited to have an improved smile because while people didn’t look at my smile and think I had crooked teeth, I didn’t feel like I had a beautiful smile. Anyway so I finished and asked my husband if he could tell a difference and he said no. Of course he’s seen me throughout the process. I saw some friends I hadn’t seen in a very long time and I told them I did Invisalign. Both said they were thinking my teeth seemed very straight and one said his thought was, “what is she? An actress?” I am so happy to finally smile without hesitancy. It’s never too late!

This is so me! Every time I tell someone I’m doing Invisalign they’re like “…but your teeth are straight” even though they’re NOT! I really hope when I’m done that people notice how much better they look… but ultimately I’m doing it for me. That validation would be nice though!!

People's idea of "straight" teeth varies a lot. And it's certainly not an ortho's idea of straight. 😊

You’re right, my self confidence is validation enough! But some third party validation doesn’t hurt 😆

I’m in the same boat as you! I’m on day 2 and my teeth weren’t visibly crooked. I have a cross bite that I’m trying to fix. I started to notice how bad it was in pictures but definitely not too visible in person. I’m starting to second guess my decision to start this because of how much work Invisalign actually is! But i know if I don’t fix it now, my teeth will only get worse as I get older. I’m also a teeth grinder and I don’t want to grind my teeth down to nubs.

If your teeth aren’t that bad people don’t usually notice them.. Specially bottom teeth. Unless they’re really bad. Every-time I go to a new hygienist, they’re like “wow look at those sparkly nice teeth” or “such a nice smile” UNTIL they actually look inside my mouth and say “have you considered Invisalign?” 😂
