2 1/2 years!  Was that the plan???

I was told 12-18 months for my issue/problem.

On a funny side note:

I was out yesterday and I got tongue-tied and apologized to the woman, blaming it on the Invisalign.

She looked at my teeth and remarked 'that I must be at the end of my treatment because my smile is perfect"

I told her I was days into my treatment.

She was shocked and thought I meant they 'worked that fast!!"

She made me laugh she was so cute!

I did explain it was not for cosmetic reasons, and that I would NOT go through this aggravation for cosmetic reasons.

We both shared a good laugh.

HI, @Abrowneyegirl!

I had severely recessed eye teeth and twisted lower canines, and my bite left the two tiers of teeth clacking on top of one another instead of sliding one atop another - 

They didn't look terrible but they didn't function terribly well.  The plan was to consider crowning my front teeth, as they have chipped, but I have a small mouth and the crowding of teeth could be solved to some degree, but not to the point that crowning the teeth can be accomplished successfully without further work (scaling, gum reduction). I have left it as it is.

I have since further chipped one front tooth, but that was due to physical trauma.  I am considering veneers.  I'll address that with my prosthdentist at my next appt.

I would have never done this simply for looks!  And funny, how people puzzle over complimenting my teeth, now that they have been "fixed" - they are certainly still not picture perfect, just better.👄
