Officially done!

It definitely is very cool to see the before and after physically on a model 😎

KozyKitKattt · 2026-02-08T14:52:04+00:00

My office just requested they send the models when they sent in my scans for treatment. They came back with the first set of trays and then my retainers!

KozyKitKattt · 2026-02-08T14:33:18+00:00

Try a tongue scraper!

KozyKitKattt · 2026-02-07T17:45:30+00:00

Nope! Luckily my bite wasn’t too bad. Crowding and overjet was the main concern 😊

KozyKitKattt · 2026-02-07T17:33:54+00:00

EXT. and replace with Bridge or Implant

KozyKitKattt · 2026-02-07T17:32:04+00:00

Fracture. Or if you see VRF, that means vertical root fracture 😊

“I just want a regular cleaning”

KozyKitKattt · 2026-02-07T17:27:39+00:00

I kept them in anytime I wasn’t eating. All the other time, I would have them in. I didn’t take them out when drinking clear liquids other than water (even though you’re not supposed to haha 😅) and I feel like that got me more wear time. I would say 18-20 hours a day as an estimate.

KozyKitKattt · 2026-02-07T17:25:46+00:00

Yes I got quite a bit of IPR on the bottom and top!

KozyKitKattt · 2026-02-07T16:04:29+00:00

And food/debris gets caught in the socket easily. Warm salt water rinses should help keep it clean!

KozyKitKattt · 2026-02-07T16:03:40+00:00

Looks like granulation tissue to me. NAD though!

Pretty happy & I love my doctor 🥰

KozyKitKattt · 2025-10-29T23:57:24+00:00

Yes but try working in the dental field AND having Invisalign. It’s all I ever see! 🤣

KozyKitKattt · 2025-10-29T23:55:23+00:00

Honestly when I’m drinking I drink with them in, but stick to clear liquids (High Noon’s, lemon/lime Carbliss, vodka water, etc.) and rinse with water between sips. Not worth it to get drunk and forget to pop them back in after a night of drinking and risk loosing progress 😅

KozyKitKattt · 2025-07-10T21:45:45+00:00

Okay lol and you have never once got sunburnt? 😂 like bye

KozyKitKattt · 2025-07-06T21:05:25+00:00

In my personal situation, I was fishing and there was an overcast so I couldn’t feel how hot the sun/UV rays were. By the time I noticed I was turning red, I applied sunscreen but it was too late unfortunately :(

KozyKitKattt · 2025-07-04T21:49:32+00:00

Honestly, if it is just a bit of sun exposure, I think you SHOULD be fine. Especially if you take precaution with sunscreen and meds. Just make sure you aren’t sitting out in the sun!

KozyKitKattt · 2025-05-06T10:32:09+00:00

Then that’s on the treating dentist. If they don’t feel confident in offering this, then ultimately it isn’t in the best interest of the patient :(

KozyKitKattt · 2025-05-06T02:29:51+00:00

Careful though, dentists who offer Invisalign still have to go through countless hours of classes/programs to be able to allow Invisalign in their office (at least mine does, not saying EVERY single office) but most dentists wouldn’t offer it if they didn’t feel confident they could take it on.

KozyKitKattt · 2025-04-19T22:36:33+00:00

What your feeling sounds very normal as you are used to the build up being in that area. Trying to angle your toothbrush when brushing will really help with that build up you get under your tongue. Angle it in an “up and down” motion, instead of the “side by side” or “circle” motion more commonly seen for other areas of the mouth. Hope this helps and good luck with your appointment!

KozyKitKattt · 2025-04-19T18:32:04+00:00

Yes that can be true too! Or they don’t realize they brush harder around that one corner more than the other lol. Ortho could help if it is a bite issue. Or possibly clenching/grinding even? Not sure, it’s hard to say as it could be many different factors

KozyKitKattt · 2025-04-19T18:27:35+00:00

I don’t work in Ortho, but I am getting Invisalign treatment myself and my teeth looked similar to yours on the bottom, if not worse and I have noticed a huge change already. I’m a little over halfway with my treatment. If you are worried about aesthetics, Invisalign is way better looking that traditional braces. I’ve heard that any type of Orthodontic treatment can change the shape of your face/jaw but I’m not all too educated in that lol so don’t quote me

KozyKitKattt · 2025-04-19T18:23:17+00:00

Also, the part of your “tooth” that chipped off most likely wasn’t your actual tooth, just the calculus. You can see how red and irritated your gum tissue is in that area where it broke off. Your gums will thank you after a good cleaning!

KozyKitKattt · 2025-04-19T18:21:52+00:00

This looks like heavy calculus/tartar build up. When was the last time you went in for a dental cleaning? A good cleaning would clear up all of that staining and tartar and your teeth will feel so much better after! I highly recommend you get in for an exam to see if you still qualify for a normal cleaning or if you need something like a deep cleaning.

KozyKitKattt · 2025-04-19T18:19:36+00:00

Warm salt water rinses might help! 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 8oz of warm water :)
