I got my 1st Invisalign tray today. I feel difficulty in closing my mouth and my mouth look like I have something in it. I am very depressed. please guide if it's normal
@@KoukabMahnoor Oh I would definitely phone your orthodontist about it, I would in no way be qualified to say! But I had no issues closing my mouth. Better to ask them ☺
Hey, how long was your entire journey?❤
@@sweetchristine8011 It was just over 1.5 years, but keep in mind a few months of those were waiting for new trays with refinements and such 🤗💖
@@SandraSkaar thank you! My teeth look similar to yours and my orthodontist said it would take about 1.5-2 years and I currently have
The result: you look perfect. 😍
Aww, thank you!!
Your face was already absolutely gorgeous, but the perfect teeth really put you on the next level of beauty. Well done.
Thank you, that's such a lovely compliment!
I am on my tray 1 of 31..lol. Its a long way to go but seeing such videos helps to trust the process and to be patient ❤
Good luck with your treatment, I hope you're over the worst of the starting pains!
I just started mine yesterday. Have a total of 38 trays to go through. So its always nice to see journeys of people who have travelled the same path or are doing so right now. Thanks for your videos
@@rishabh05 Good luck with your treatment, you will be done before you know it ♥
I’m in tray 1 day 4 of 32 trays changing every 7 days! Can’t wait to get this over with!
Can't believe it's been 7 months already. Changing to tray 17 today. 14 more to go 💪
So happy for you! I’m on week 2 of my year and a half journey! Grateful for people like you who share their experience 🙏
Yay, congrats on starting your journey! It felt daunting at the start, but as soon as you get going and get the hang of it, time flies by 😊Thank you, I'm so happy to hear it's helpful. Good luck with your treatment!
Congrats on finishing your Invisalign journey! Looks great. Definitely inspiring me to get through my 8+ months of the process left to go
Thank you!! Time goes by so quickly, you'll be at the end before you know it! And it feels so worth it now 😁
I wish I got them when you posted this comment I just got them on today still have about 10 months to go
Wow just wow. I’m starting Invisalign in about a week and a half I’m super excited! And this video and your transformation. Makes me super happy on what I’m going to get out of Invisalign What a gorgeous smile you have now! Absolutely flawless!! 🔥
Thank you for the lovely comment and congrats on starting your treatment! It's definitely one of the best things I've done, I'm still so happy with the result 😀 Good luck and have fun seeing the progress!
I am so glad that I found your channel, Sandra. I am a new Invisalign patient who's currently on my fourth tray, and I am already frustrated with the process. Maybe it's because I am impatient, but viewing your journey has given me hope that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Your smile looks amazing.
Chris
How is it going after 11 months.?
Your result is amazing, Sandra. I´m in the middle of my treatment now, hopefully one day I´ll be able to say the same to myself. Thanks for your video
Thank you so much, Martita! I got better results than I even expected, I am sure you will too, hang in there! 😊
I've just started my Invisalign, on Day 3 now and definitely experiencing those initial regrets, wanting to skip meals because I dread the idea of taking them out/putting them in, but I'm excited to start getting to that point where doing so won't be too difficult, and especially excited for the final outcome! I was the same as you, went into this with little to no real research, I think my mindset was the more I'd know about how difficult the first stages may be, the less likely I would be to go ahead with it. Your teeth look great!
Ahh I know that pain well, trust that it gets soooo much better and easier and is well worth it in the end! A little ignorace was the way to go for me 🤭 Good luck with your treatment ☺️
I remember I watched your videos last year before I got it done and now I've only got about a month left and I am SO HAPPY with the results. I wish I could've done it sooner. My teeth look so beautiful now.
Oh yay, I am so happy for you! Congrats on such a successful treatment, I can completely relate and wish I did it sooner ❤️
So happy to see that it worked! I’m on my 4th tray!
Good luck with the rest of your treatment 😀
Wow! Your smile is radiant now. I just started last Tuesday. My teeth look very similar to your before. Only difference is I'm considerably older but still looking forward to finally having a brilliant smile. Cheers
Thank you 💞 That's so exciting, good luck with your journey! I remember thinking "ah, I didn't get braces when I was a teen, maybe I should just let it go", but *every day* I feel happy I went for it! Enjoy seeing the changes, it's really motivating to keep going x
I’m glad u showed that retainer I had no clue it would look like that either!
I thought it was either a wire retainer or just a regular looking aligner retainer
So exciting!! They are perfect! Glad you did it all when you are young, I’m 56 and on week 4/26 and then refinements! 😬😊
I recently developed pain on my gum where my wisdom tooth is growing into and went to the dentist. My dentist told me I would need them removed and then he recommended me to get invisalign. I'm so excited!!! I hope it begins soon, I've never had my smile straight so I can't wait to feel more confident when I smile. This video was so satisfying and congrats!!
I am just waiting for my last orthodontist visit in a few weeks and I am soooooo excited!!! I remember watching your videos before i started and I'm so excited to be finished
Yayy that's amazing, congratulations!! I hope you love your results as well 😍❤️
Congratulations on your new smile!! I was always self conscious on my smile before braces and was so so happy when they came off. Happy for you!
Thank you! It's amazing what a difference it can make for sure 😁
Your face changed in the process, I just started my journey and I appreciate you sharing your experience and progress. I’m so happy and I can’t wait
Wow, you should be in the Invisalign commercials, I've never seen such perfect teeth!
That's quite the compliment, thank you!
Looks wonderful! I’ve seen some of your other Invisalign videos. You’ve been through so much! Congratulations.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it ☺️❤️
Incredible. I'm starting my process soon. Nice to see such positive results.
Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that! Good luck with your invisalign journey 😃
@@SandraSkaar how long did it take and how much it cost to you?
It's worth mentioning that except wide, beautiful smile you have eyes of an angel too
Beautiful result. Congratulations!
Thank you!
I'm on tray 8/26 and like you, I was really only concerned about one misaligned tooth, but I said to the ortho that if they could clean up the others a bit, I'd be happy - They showed me a rendering of what they proposed which included un-crowding my lower arch, widening my smile... It looked pretty good, but I thought. "Yeah well, it's just a rendering, we'll see" - Well, seeing how the process did way more than fix your one problem tooth and widened/straightened your smile, I can't wait to see my end result.
Congrats your smile looks awesome!!!! I'm on the 3rd week of my Invisalign journey and hope to have a great ending like yours!!! 👍🏽👍🏽😁
Thank you, Yasmin! Good luck, you can do it and I'm sure you'll have a fantastic smile in no time! 😃✨
That is a "Hawley" retainer, which, in my youth, was the only kind available. Believe it or not, that retainer was considered the state of the art back then, and people welcomed it as a "non invasive" approach. It was nothing. You could drink anything with the retainer in place. You still had to clean it, and your teeth and mouth, afterwards. My orthodontist predicts that I will have to wear "Essix" retainers when my treatment is complete. The Essix is very similar to the "Vivera", and both look like Invisalign. In any case, your process has been a success, and you are to be congratulated for taking action. And, you should be thankful that you live in a time when such advanced technology is available. Your smile will rival the magnificence of the Aurora Borealis. Smile on.
Great results, happy for you ❤️
Thank you so much 🥰
Just started my journey today. Your before and after is amazing 😍
Thank you so much, I hope your treatment is going well 🥰
hows it going after 4 months?
I’m 8 trays in and I hope I can get results as good as yours. I’m happy to see you satisfied with the results 🙌🤝
Starting my Invisalign in 10 days, I’m so excited!
Yay hope you have had a good start to your journey and are over the initial pain of it all! 😃
Your teeth look 😍 I remember when you first had them put in!
Thank you!! 🥰 Right? It feels like a small eternity ago 😄
I have a consultation in September to HOPEFULLY get Invisalign. I’m so excited and hope I can get them! Xx
Oh yay, that's so exciting! Fingers crossed and feel free to leave another comment when you've had your consultation, to let us know how it went 😃 Good luck! xx
@@SandraSkaar thank you so much!!! I watched all of your videos last night! Your results are incredible and it makes me so excited xxx
@@hannahemery885 awe thank you so much 🥰 It's amazing what Invisalign can do, I only wish I did it sooner now 😁
@@SandraSkaar I just came back to watch your videos again for some motivation….I got my Invisalign on 9 days ago and tomorrow I change to tray 2 of 34 (before refinements) yay!! Xx
Wow what a journey, congratulations you really look great,...I’ll be starting on my therapy soon,...I’m quite old to do this but I have to. Thanks for sharing your experience,...😊
Thank you! How exciting, I've seen a lot of us taking care of dental issues like this that maybe should have been sorted when we were young or children, so know that you are in good company! Good luck with your treatment ☺️💞
Wow your teeth look so professional, grown, and secure. The before pic looks juvenile
Nice results and happy that you are satisfied. I will start from tomorrow 🤞
Good luck with your treatment! 😃
Wow…what a beautiful smile you have now! I just started and like you, did no research. So here I am, doing research after the fact. 😂
Haha, at least we're not overthinking it! 😁 Thank you, and I hope your treatment is going well!
Haha and you thought only one tooth was an issue. Your treatment end result is a success. Congratulations!
So happy for you! I start my journey next week!
Thank you! That's so exciting, good luck!! 🤗😃
Thank you for all of your information! I just started invisalign this week and it’s going to be a long journey.
Wow your result is SOOO BEAUTIFUL. I am on my 3rd set of adult braces-the 3rd one being a clear retainer type. I am so dine with snagged teeth. I wish they had this technology when I got the 1st braces at age 30, bc my teeth wore down so much from decades of uneven bite, both before and after the braces.
I'm still about three months away from finishing mine. But the result has been pretty amazing.
Yay, that's great! I was really surprised that I saw such great results way before reaching the end as well - it makes it very motivating to finish the process!
Actually so jealous. must be the best feeling ever finally getting them off. you can eat and drink whenever you want now!
It absolutely is! I honestly have had a few "Oh no!" moments after eating, thinking I forgot to put the trays back in, and then I remember that's done 😅 Not quite used to it yet, but it's great!
@@SandraSkaar you'll miss the chewies haha
Wow!! Congratulations what a great result. Your retainer is not the one Invisalign normally gives. It normally is an Invisalign type of tray... Glad you got there in the end. I'm still on my journey.. I think the bottom teeth are not tracking for the second time. Going to the dentist on Wednesday to have a checkup.
Thank you so much! And that's really interesting, my orthodontist never gave me any option between different retainers, so I'm not sure why I got this one.
So sorry to hear you're having tracking issues, it can feel so difficult when you're in the middle of it. I hope the appointment went well and that the rest of your treatment goes according to plan!
I’m currently on tray 12 of 21 and my last tray was so painful. I had no issues in the beginning, but from tray 9 to current has been very painful. I change my trays every 2 weeks. I had to wear tray 10 for an additional week because of the pain. But I’m pushing thru this journey.
I remember I actually had one of my more painful trays around week 10 or 11 as well, I suppose some just move more than others maybe. Keep going, it will be worth it! And I hope you are in less pain now 💖
@@SandraSkaar I had to wear tray 13 for 2 additional weeks because I had to go thru refinement, meaning I had to get my attachments (buttons as some call them) taken off and wear tray 13 while await for my new trays to come back in… the trays started to lift on my back teeth…so far i have been in tray 13 two weeks with attachments (buttons) and 10 days w/o attachments. I was told to wear them still w/o the attachments so my teeth will not shift.
Congratulations finally you Invisalign journey is over your smile look great..can you do speak out challenge..
Thank you! What is the speak out challenge?
@@SandraSkaar it is a game made by Hasbro.. it is game that you need to wear the cheek retractor and try to speak a words and we need to guess what you said..it is a fun game..i hope you can play it...
@@Msyaz-dl2tr that is a great idea..i hope you also could do it..plus you could wear the cheek retractor and show close up of your teeth so we can see the changes of your smile better..
@@Msyaz-dl2tr that is great idea..hope @Sandra Skaar will considered doing it..
I’m on tray 3 of 13, I’m so excited for it to be over but I’m trying to take in the process.
Your teeth look stellar! Chefs kiss 💋
You look so happy and beautiful,of course you should be with that gorgeous smile,congratulations honestly I was waiting for this Invisalign last video,good for you and I really like about going around smiling 😃 .
Wishing you all the best 😉
Thank you so much! It was definitely a big mood boost 😁😁
Awesome video!! Your teeth look beautiful!! I just got my first trays yesterday and have been feeling the pain, but watching videos like this have really helped encourage me to push through cause of how wonderful the results can be :)
Thank you, im so happy to hear that! I would look up a lot of before and afters to stay motivated as well 😃Hang in there!!
true camo same i got my Invisalign yesterday feeling bit of pressure and pain on my teeth don't know how the time is gonna pass
Yea I’ve seen most people get the Vivera Retainer after the Invisalign trays are complete. It’s interesting they gave you a different type of retainer.
I can’t wait to finish mine! I’m getting refinements one more time unfortunately but only should be a few. Your teeth look great!!!!
Thank you so much 🤗 And if it helps at all, I am so so so happy I ended up getting my second round of refinements, it's truly worth it in the end!
Your teeth look amazing! I can't wait to finish mine.
Thank you! It's worth the wait 🤩
Looks beautiful!
Thank you! 🤗💖
On tray 1 of 12 now. I’m so excited! Unrelated, but your nose is perfect!
Your teeth look great.I just started mine today.
Thank you, good luck with your treatment! ✨
So beautiful!!! ❤ Wow!
congrats i have a few months left can't wait !!! looks great !
Thank you and good luck with the rest of the treatment!
They look amazing! 💕
Thank you! 😊
Congrats your teeth its so straight😊👌 hopefully next vlog its all about retainer how to put in on
Thank you!
I've had this treatment done too and it changed my smile as well. I used to have a big gab, in between my middle ones and its gone
Wow your teeth looks beautiful. I'm jealous. How long was your journey?
Really nice result!
Can't wait for my treatment to be over, I'm definitely going to celebrate and have the best day. I'm currently on tray 8 out of 18 so soon halfway. I hope to see a bigger difference than expected but whatever improvements are fine. The stage I'm at now is just the worst part where I can't even bite off anything with my front teeth but I'm hanging in there.
Yooo- did you get to the 18th yet?
@@jeebly4259 No, I actually cancelled my treatment after tray 13 for several reasons. It did not work out for me but I'm actually not sad about it.
I remember your video previously when you said that it worked never get better. Now your teeth look fantastic! Why did you think so negatively in the past?
I’m on my last day of Invisalign today I have my dentist appointment this afternoon
Yay, that's so exciting, good luck!
Congrats, I'm going to start next week I'm excited
Yay that's so exciting, good luck!! 😃
Wow. Was considering Invisalign and have come across your video. Your teeth look amazing !
Wow. Just wow... Well done.
Thank you ♥
The before picture looks like Golem's teeth from Lord of The Rings and the after teeth look like that of a goddess. Nice results! I'm doing this next but I'm afraid of the impressions putty material. I have a tiny mouth filled with gator teeth. Lol.
Hahaha! Thank you for the laugh (and the compliment) 😄🥰 On me they used some sort of digital device to scan my teeth so I didn't have to do the putty, perhaps they can for you as well? It was still a little faffy but very doable and over quickly. Either way, good luck, it's amazing what results you can get!
Oh my! What a beautiful transformation, i love it. I'm gonna get invisalign and I'm in my "research phase". This is the first video ive seen of yours - how long did the whole process take?
Thank you 💖 It was about 1.5 years from my first tray until the last 😊
Great esthetic outcome! The retainer you got isn't very comfortable in my opinion - I would've asked for an essex instead of a hawley retainer. (I realize they likely didn't give you a choice).
Totally know how you feel about commenting on how bad your own teeth are. I have ‘slipped up’ I feel a few times with friends who have similar teeth to me, so yes insulting your own faults that other also have is in a sense also insulting them, but like you, I never meant it that way and hadn’t ever thought of theirs that way before, although I do now I’m getting mine done. 🤷🏽♂️ human nature I suppose, the mind works in mysterious ways.
Thank you for sharing, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one doing and thinking this! I definitely felt like I saw my teeth in a whole new light after I had started my Invisalign treatment (I can't believe I used to think they were straight enough with just one tooth a pretty wonky haha!), I think you're right that it just comes with the territory as you are focusing more on something.
Congratulations. Your smile looks amazing! How long was your Invisalign journey from the day you started wearing the trays?
Thank you! ☺️ I think something like a year and 7 or 8 months. But several of those months were waiting in between refinements (and a tracking issue I had around month 8 or so), as it takes some time waiting for new trays after you get new scans and so on. The waiting is a bit frustrating, but at least it gave a bit of a break from the usual discomfort of switching trays every week 😁
I'm on week 3 of 15, so far so good. I hope my results are the same as yours, you're teeth are amazing. How are things almost a year later?
Thank you! I felt it came out even better than I imagined when I started, it's totally different seeing the results on yourself (and not just the animation) so I'm sure there's a really good chance you will experience the same - fingers crossed! None of my teeth have moved yet, but I do use the retainer at night (AND the permanent they glued on). I have been meaning to film an update at some point, but nothing much has happened (thankfully!) 😄
How long did it all take? How many trays-ish?
your teeth look absolutely stunning
Thank you!!!
Happy for you..😊
Thank you!!
Congrats Sandra🎉 you look amazing!! I am at my last tray and I will need to order new ones as my bottom teeth are not aligned yet. I was wondering if I can still take the attachements off my upper teeth which are done and whiten them even while waiting for the bottom teeth to get straight.. disappointed it is going to take more time than expected. Also did you make a video of how you whitened your teeth? Thanks you
My teeth are super similar to your before picture and your end result is so exciting, just beautiful! Beside the midline question, is there any other questions you wish you had brought up in your consultation? Will you have to wear the removable night retainer forever?
Oh, also did you have any bonding done? Or just the shaving at the end?
Thank you so much! I was told I have to wear the night retainer for 1.5 years, but I have a new checkup in two weeks, so I will ask again then. The one that is glued on has to be a forever thing, I think.
We discussed bonding, but then I didn't feel the need for it at the end, so it was just the shaving.
I definitely would have asked more about what the process was like when things "didn't go to plan", so I was prepared for the long wait time when my teeth weren't tracking. And also whether there were extra costs for refinements and such (it wasn't in my case, but I only thought of it when I was mid treatment and it would have been way too late to back out at that point obviously). I wish I had read a bit more online, I found a lot of info on reddit, which would have helped me with what I should consider before a consultation. But just don't be too worried from the posts, I found a few horror stories there and the pain described might have scared me from getting Invisalign.
Sorry I saw your comment so late, hopefully it's still useful :)
why didn't you just asked for removable retainers that you only wear at night, why did they installed the fixed retainers and gave you a removable halway retainer as well
Congrats on completing Invisalign! I wanted to ask: did you also get some lip fillers? Because in the before and after image, it seemed like your upper lip had been injected. Im only asking this because I’m on Invisalign myself at the moment and my top lip looks like your before photo, so if it is injections or just a result of the Invisalign itself, I would much appreciate knowing :)
Thank you! And I'm actually so happy you asked this haha because I thought I was seeing things, thinking my top lip looked a little fuller. No fillers at all (a few unrelated allergic reactions but that's many months ago, so I wouldn't think it's that 😅). It's very minimal if you compare to my first video (only really visible when I smile I think), but maybe it's because the lip can lay much flatter now? Not sure of the mechanics of it, but I'm not complaining 😁
You look gorgeous 🎉
Congratulations.. your smile look perfect..did you not record the your last dental visit..if you have record a video during your last appointment can you share it with us because i think many people will want to know what happened during your last visit...
Thank you! I talked about it in the video :)
@@SandraSkaar tq
I’m on tray 21 of 50. This is my second time watching this video for hope since on my first appointment my orthodontist said I may need more but it may be fine. I’m really hoping it would work out in the end. Did you use elastics or no? I do. Your results were great!
Ahh hoping it all works out well for you - even if I had a few hiccups and delays along the way, it was so worth it in the end, just hang in there! And yes, I did have elastics from around tray 10 (if I remember correctly)
You look incredible!
Thank you that's so kind! 🤗
It's perfect!!❤❤❤
Hi! Thank you for your videos and congratulations! I wonder did your ortho advise Myofunctional Therapy to help keep the expansion and prevent relapse? There is also Mewing and posture work. Mouth taping at night to make sure you don't breathe through your mouth. There is a LOT of info about this but I think if your functional habits are good you shouldn't need the nighttime expander, but perhaps the expander helps which is why they suggested you wear it to keep your tongue on the spot at night. Mouth taping will also help with that :)
Congrats
I would say its pretty uncommon to give an old school retainer like that. I work in a dental office and every job I've had that offers Invisalign gives a final set of clear trays for night time.
Good to know, thank you for sharing!
Can you do a final Invisalign review about the pros and cons? Whether it's worth it c ompared to brace, espcially considering the cost since it was longer than expected...I'm getting Invisalign now and not braces soon!
Your teeth is perfect! Love it 😁
Thank you! 😁
Mine said the retainer is a thicker Invisalign and they’re $500 without insurance for 4 sets
I start in January
How exciting, good luck! 💓
You are beautiful and your smile is soo pretty worthy journey ❤️😍
Awesome result! I'm considering to get Invisalign as well, just curious, how many trays did you do for this journey?
Thank you! 😊 And I genuinely cannot remember, I would guess 60-70? I think the initial treatment started with 50-something, but that changes, depending on how your teeth respond and if you need refinements and so on.
Looking great! How long did you use it for? And how are you now?
Thank you! I forget exactly, but I think 1.5 years ish :) And still doing great!
Side note. I love love those eyeglasses on you! Where did you get them?
Thank you! Sorry I missed your comment for ao long, they are from Vasuma ☺️
i love how your gums is not showing anymore when you smile. did you do some surgery after your invisalign treatment?
Thank you! And nope, I didn't! But a very large part of my treatment was "lifting" or pushing up my front teeth, so I think it happened that way.
Can you tell me, what kind of ain are you referring to at 7:02 ?Glad you are happy with your results.
Hope she wears her retainer or they’ll go back
The result is beautiful just like you :)
