It's just one year ago today that my Inspire Ice Clear Brace was fitted to my bottom teeth and the impressions taken for the Incognito one for my top teeth, and look at the difference!!!
Apart from my top teeth being in a nice straight row, my bottom teeth are lined up nicely too. You can see how the wire was not at all straight when I started and I'm sure that I frowned quite a bit when my orthodontist showed me his work in the mirror. With all that wire on, plus the brace wax because it soon began to rub, it looked awful, but only if I pulled that funny face!
Well, it's only eight weeks until they both come off, just in time for my daughter's wedding. I have just one appointment before then, and I think it's to have some finishing polishing or stripping to get my teeth in shape. It doesn't hurt, but the vibrations go right through my head!
I'll say again, that it's all been totally worth it, sometimes a bit uncomfortable when the braces have been adjusted, or the wires have been changed, but I'm so glad I've done it and I'm not sitting here now wishing that I had.
If you're not sure, just go for it. It's well worthwhile.
