Wow! I can hardly believe that it is nearing 5 years since I decided to take the plunge into the world of Invisalign! When I look back, it seems like it was such a fast process! (although there were times that it felt like it would last forever...) Believe it or not, I am still using my last two trays as retainers! I sleep with them in maybe about once a week now. Honestly, I cannot stand them in my mouth anymore. I try to use them once a week to make sure that my teeth have not shifted. That was a lot of money to invest and I want to be sure that my results last a lifetime.
Here is a recent image of my teeth, all still in the right place!

Thank you for all of your comments! It makes me happy to know that this blog has been useful to so many of you. Good luck with your orthodontic adventures! :)

Haha, I got my first set of trays (and 9 attachments, eww) a few hours ago, so you couldn't have posted this at a better time! If that's not encouraging, I don't know what is.
I read your blog so many times over the last six months, and I now firmly believe that I can go through with this, so thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
Great Blog!! That was amazing. Your thought processing is wonderful. The way you tell the thing is awesome. You are really a master.

During first evaluation, dentists will helps to determine if Invisalign® is a good option for you. Dentist then design a treatment plan and take tooth impressions, from which Invisalign® will develop accurate, personalized tooth-straightening devices, called aligners. Aligners slide directly over teeth and are replaced every two weeks as teeth shift into place. Depending on case, invisalign need to wear them full-time (except when eating or drinking) for 12 to 24 months. No longer than to wear traditional metal braces—and see the dentist about every six weeks for check-ups.

Thank you Sharon so much for your time, it is very nice of you to share your experience. I just finished reading your whole blog from the very beginning and i feel so much wiser now, as i'll have the impressions taken of my teeth for the invisalign treatment next week. I can't wait to begin my own journey after seeing your results. Your teeth look so beautiful, you must be very happy. I'm certainly happy for you. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
