While researching Invisalign I was lucky enough to find your channel - and then have subsequently binge-watched much of your Invisalign journey! What an amazing transformation - not just in your smile but in your self-confidence, as well. Truly brilliant and inspirational. And then to find that you're also an awesome musician, singer and songwriter too is super-cool! I'm also a singer and songwriter considering orthodontic treatment. My dentist has told me that changing the shape of my teeth might alter my voice (feel a little worried he's trying to talk me out of orthodontic treatment which I've dreamt of having for years after experiencing similar self-consciousness and negative comments about my smile throughout my life). Can I ask you a question? Do you feel that your speaking voice and/or singing voice has changed at all since treatment? While you've mentioned lisping a little during treatment, I'd really appreciate your thoughts on how it has impacted on your voice (if at all). Please forgive me if this question has been asked before! Very best wishes and deep appreciation.
Tonus Ten Hey - thanks for such a lovely comment :) And yes, I can certainly answer that. It is important to keep in mind that several big things happened in my life at once while this process was happening - namely becoming self-employed, spending more time outside, more time doing what I love and singing every day busking. I think you’ll agree my speaking voice has changed a little, but it’s in my vocal chords and how I’m using them, rather than any physiological change from my teeth being straightened. I don’t feel I have any residual lisp at all after the treatment, so I honestly believe Invisalign does not negatively impact your speaking or singing voice besides the weirdness of having to speak around two large-feeling pieces of plastic in your mouth. So I say get it with confidence - the human body is amazing at adapting. Not only will the lisp during treatment lessen very quickly, if there is anything amiss when it’s done, you’ll quickly learn to talk ‘around it’, in my opinion. Best of luck with it, and with your music too. Please keep in mind I don’t get notifications for replies, only new comments, so start a new comment if you have another question. Good luck! :)
Your teeth look amazing! You have a beautiful smile. I'm 6 days into a similar type of treatment with invisible aligners and watching you story has really encouraged me (I watched almost the whole of your invisalign diaries playlist in one go last night!). Thanks for being so open with your journey.
I've had my first tray fitted today. Thank you for making the video diary. Your tips have been really useful and I'm also looking forward to losing the extra 20lbs I've put on during lockdown.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for sharing your journey! Watching your videos gave me the courage to go for Invisalign and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made! I can’t believe I have perfectly straight teeth for the first time in my life!
Incredible smile :) Thank you for sharing your journey.💙 It’s given me courage to begin orthodontic treatment with Invisalign as well. My teeth had been badly chipped from a fall in childhood - both front incisors have been capped with a bridge and crown for about 14 years now. Happy this has worked so well for you and honestly grateful for these videos. Stay blessed.
THank you so much for recording your Invisalign diary and review. I just started my process this week, so all the info you provided is and will be so helpful to me. You seem to be such a genuine and nice person. Really enjoyed watching the series. Thank you!!
Watched many of your videos before I made a final decision. Today I started my Invisalign journey. They say it will take 1 1/2-2 years. Cannot wait for the after looks. Watching your videos, and listening to you talk about how much it’s changed your life for the better, and the confidence it has brung to you just makes me so excited. Thank you for making these videos!
Hi there, I saw you busking in Bath recently and said 'hi' to you. Thank you again for helping me through my Invisalign journey, I really am grateful for all your video diaries, they helped me through a sometimes difficult process. Your teeth look great and I really enjoyed listening to your music!! Lisa XX
Thank you so much for all the info on Invisalign!! I've watched all your videos and found your insight, humor, and tips very educational! I've just started my own Invisalign journey, tray one of 19, three days ago. Watching your journey convinced me that this was the way to go. Thanks again!!
I am 24 years old. I wouldn't describe my teeth really messed up, but I am planning to do bracing or INVISALIGN, and the prices are pretty steep in Canada :( How much has it costed you? Did you have any covering health insurance?
N Ahmad All those questions are addressed in the review video linked at the end of the video. I don’t give out exactly how much mine cost because it’s different for everyone. But mine was in the upper end of the £2,000-£5000 range. And no, it was a private treatment.
Wow. They look amazing. You didn’t look bad or anything before,but the straightening really made you look very different. Nice teeth, long healthy hair, blue eyes great personality. Good job to you 👏
I'm taking the plunge and getting invisalign soon. April 19th is the first consultation with Mr Gardener. I'll be sure to mention your videos as part of the reason for choosing not just invisalign but also that orthodontist! Amazing results.
@@CatGoneCrazy So my journey started today - wish me luck... he says he certainly remembers you and your story us featured on his website. Waiting a couple weeks for the first trays to arrive in the post. Thanks again for the review, Ben
I am in this Invisalign group in facebook and people are giving links to your diary for newcomers to check out. It really is helpful. I myself got motivated to trust this process and make the financial commitment, because my teeth is as severe as yours was. Am 21 weeks in now.
Prateek Agrawal Ah that’s so cool! Hello to everyone from the Facebook group! 21 weeks, eh? You’ll well into the swing of things now, then :) Very best of luck, I’m sure you’ll be glad you did it. Cheers!
I'm curious about the refinement after the one year of treatment. Were your teeth not yet moved to the desired position? Or was it only for the goal of helping your gums? Also, could you elaborate a little bit about the situation with your gums? Thanks! 😊
Hi - the refinement was primarily to ease the pressure on my gums by angling my teeth a little differently. This did indeed stop the gum recession, so I haven't any more problems so far, I'm pleased to say. However I do think my orthodontist wanted to reduce the overjet a little bit having seen how well the process had gone. I do think after the initial treatment, my teeth looked a bit 'big' in my mouth. I didn't actually finish the entirety of the refinement process as the diaries will show, but it was near enough and he made sure he was satisfied with my bite over a few visits before locking it in with the Vivera retainers.
@@CatGoneCrazy I actually watched through a couple of the diary videos and did some reserch. I wasn't familiar with the term "refinement" but I have a very clear idea of what it is now. Thanks for responding!
I have the same exact before smile as you did- and I just had my trays ordered through Invisalign! And it’s funny because I used your pics as an example & my 1st consult also wanted me to have the same two teeth pulled as you! And I said no way! I will have a slight over jet as well! But the 2nd ortho actually told me to not pull the teeth because my genetics show me to have a smaller lower jaw and even with having two teeth pulled - unless I had jaw surgery - I would always have a slight over jet! I’m really excited and I keep rewatching your process and keep getting excited for my journey to begin !!
@@wherethereiswillthereisway7350 That's OK! I'm really glad I didn't have any taken out, but if I had done, the results would probably have looked even better.
I’m on tray #10 out of #28 and I’ve been watching your videos since I’ve first started, your videos are actually the reason why I decided to start! I’ve always had very crooked teeth and whenever I saw the change it did to yours, it gave me hope. I’ve noticed a slight difference, I’m still not able to smile confidently but I definitely feel the difference with my tongue, if that makes sense. I have an appointment next Monday to have more shots in my mouth to accelerate the process and will be switching trays every week, rather than every two. Dentist said everything should be fixed and perfect by February. Although the process is slow I’m hanging on to hope that soon I will have a nice smile and will finally be able to smile! Thank you for your videos 🙏
Pablo Pavia You’re very welcome! And February will be here before you know it. It’ll be well worth the wait, I’m sure! Very best of luck, and so glad to hear my videos have helped you :)
@@keishagurl83 my teeth are now straight and I’m pretty much smiling 24/7! 😁 I feel so much more confident and it really was easier than braces imo. I would recommend, it’s life changing. I can finally take pictures and smile in them!
My dude, you are just inspirational. In about 20 days, I'm going to get Invisalign and now, you've got me hype for it. I don't have a crowded mouth, mine are just gapped and you can spit a waterfall out like Francine, Buster and Binky on Arthur. I'm 31 now and when you said you were in your early 30s when you did Invisalign, I said hell why not. And seeing your before and after and basically looking at your confidence spike throughout your playlist videos, I'm now more than ever ready for this.
Thanks for saying hello to me last week! You are an amazing person, that is easy to see. I just had my IPR done Monday...I am so happy to start the new process to push my teeth in.. I need to say again that even though I had watched your full diary twice. I keep watching your videos weekly to be able to keep going through my journey....by the way your eyes are stunning, you look super handsome and I cannot stop looking at your teeth!!!! what a great smile!!!!!! Indeed you are a breath of fresh air..so honest and sweet. Many Blessings and Best of Luck in your music career
Milly Adon Thank you so much, Milly! It was a pleasure to meet you too :) The IPR’s fine, isn’t it? I’m so glad my videos are helping you, it really means a lot - as do your very kind words! Do say hi again if you see me. Just so you know, I don’t get notifications on comment replies, only new comments so make a new comment if you have any questions you’d like answered, I’m always happy to help. Very best of luck with it, and carry on being so open and lovely. Cheers! :D
dude i love this transformation. One of your videos was the inspiration i needed to go down to my orthodontic practice and get the ball rolling with my treatment. My orth-dentist has suggested jaw surgery to fix my overjet but im not doing this! At the end of my treatment it is predicted i will have a 5mm overjet. How many mm is your overjet? If i can achieve your smile ill be cheering!!! There were other options to extract teeth but the extraction left me with too much room and thus, im worried itll shrink my jaw and overal appearance. How much IPR did you get aswell? any info will be appreciated, Thankyou man!
It took a few weeks to see some movement. Each tray moves your teeth up to one third of a millimetre so it'll be some time before you notice a change. Don't forget, your orthodontist has a 'clincheck' animation that shows exactly how your teeth will look at every stage of the process, so just ask him/her if you can see it next time you have an appointment. I answered your other question when you asked it on the other video.
@@CatGoneCrazy thank you so much. Day 3, they actually feel better in my mouth. So glad you decided to do a journal and share. Thanks for answering my questions. I'll definitely contact my orthodontist and ask to view the video
You look amazing. ,I have 3.5 months to finish my Invisalign treatment but my upper teeth look weird all of it came out like I have over bit 😔 and scary big teeth
Shan Hasan My overjet was worse in the weeks prior to finishing because the last few trays brought them back in. You should have seen your Clincheck animation beforehand so there really shouldn’t be any surprises. Ask to see it again, and if you’re still unsure, ask about further IPR and refinements. Or otherwise the alternative is pulling teeth to make room, and another two years’ treatment. That’s just what I’ve learned from all this, I must stress I am not a trained medical professional, so ask your orthodontist. But honestly it’s far more likely it’s just a case if getting worse before they get better. Only the final tray is meant to look finished. Look at my videos before I finished the first course of treatment, and even when I did. They were moved further back with refinement so it can be done if you’re unhappy.
@@CatGoneCrazy thanks for responding and I appreciate it Now it makes sense and believe it or not the way you explain the concept, it's better than the orthodontist Thanks again😊
My teeth are just like yours my canines are pushed forward and it sucks cause everyone can see I just don’t smile with my teeth I got dimples so that helps I’m hoping I can get Invisalign instead of braces I’m just crossing my fingers and praying
Every time I get my teeth evaluated they say I need to have my wisdom teeth removed prior to any other orthodontics treatment. Did you have your wisdom teeth removed?
Had I know that my bite would never line up again, I would never have done this. I hate my results and it’s uncomfortable when I eat. I’ve even been to an ortho for a second opinion and he’s says everything is fine and as good as it will get. My bottom teeth still look crooked. Apparently the only option is verniers now. Bullshit. Waste of money and time. Invisalign was my biggest mistake ever. 😡
I’m very sorry to hear that. What do you mean, not line up? Your jaw does need to retrain sometimes to have your bite further forward or back than it used to be, but making the bite meet properly is part of your orthodontist’s job, so it really should meet properly for eating. If your mouth is still crowded, it won’t meet fully front to back (like mine) but you should be able to chew properly, for sure.
God, you look absolutely gorgeous - what an incredibly good outcome, you must be so pleased. You look like Keith Urban's younger, better looking brother. :)
Wow..! Beautiful teeth! Thank you for sharing your treatment. I’m on day 3 of my Invisalign journey. I hope my teeth will look even half as beautiful as yours!
Hi I saw all your Invisalign treatment process and impressed before I done mine. I had Invisalign treatment in 2018 June to 2019 may after that doc gave me removable retainers but I rarely used it after few months my teeth started to move in front and now I’m wearing it again every night. I also got gum recession which hurt a lot coz of that I’m scared to use it. Can u tell me about fixed wire? Pls
if you look closely at the chin in both the before and after face pics, before his chin was a little offset to the right, and after it looks perfectly centered!
I just started a few weeks ago and I needed to come every week, because attachments and buttons keep falling out. I was so enthusiastic to start, but honestly it makes me so sad now. And it's a huge investment so now I don't know what to do...
I love your smile simply amazing..I'm on my 22 tray, and I'm really finding it hard and challenging to say the least . I was already underweight for my height since wearing this inhave lost 10 pounds within the first two months of wearing the Invisalign. Again my jawline us very narrow so I am really hoping it will reshape my face. Hard to stay positive and motivated when you are not noticing the visable changes from the front of the mouth. I have 40 trays in total. Hoping I want exceed more then 10 months but he has already said that I will require refinements. I hope my results look as good as yours. Your uploads really help me stay with the program. Thank you
Hi Ally - sorry to hear about the refinements and unwanted weight loss. I suppose it means you get to eat cake? Obviously I suggest you see a GP about a healthy higher-calorie diet but a bit of cake is surely on the cards 😋 The visible changes will come soon, don’t worry! Stick at it :) And glad my videos are helping, just do what they say and the results will soon come. Good luck!
Wow wow wow! I'm currently going through Invisalign treatment. Had 16 trays top and bottom initially to then see where I was at after them, dentist wasn't 100% happy so I'm on another 8 trays but just top tray only and I've seen a big difference already. You've done amazing to get those results.
Anna Nash Thank you! And yes, refinements are a good thing. My teeth look better now compared to the last day if my actual treatment due to refinements. Very best of luck and thanks for the lovely comment :)
Iw Wanly Thanks :) And the costs vary for each person so I don’t give out the exact price of my treatment. Expect somewhere between £2k-£5k and the same range in USD. Mine was the upper end of that range as my teeth needed a lot of moving! You can get a free consultation, though, and they’ll give you a projected price. Cheers!
I am 52 years old and have finally decided to do this for myself. My top teeth are pretty straight, but I had my front bottom tooth pulled out when I was 10...due to “potential” overcrowding. Found out when older it was cheaper pulling the tooth than getting braces...thanks mom. Now have a severely crooked tooth and gaps. I only wanted to do the bottom teeth, but to make sure my bite and everything aligns correctly will do top also. You are positive, funny, seem like a really nice guy, and your smile is beautiful. I watched all your videos and found them extremely informative and helpful. I’m not going to lie, I am still nervous about doing this, but thank you so much for taking the time to make and share your Invisalign journey.
nihongo0504 Thanks for the kind comment :) Yeah, they do insist on doing both top and bottom for the bite. You won’t believe the difference after it’s finished! Very best of luck, and thank you for watching the whole diary! Cheers!
So i had braces for now almost 3 years got them removed yesterday and noticed a overjet that i didnt really like. I got an invisalign from my Doc. and i wanted to ask if it fixes and overjet as well or only straights out the teeth ? i thought my teeth are gonna look perfect tbh after 3years of wearing braces but im not really satisfied with the result. Maybe the invisalign fixes that who knows :D
Invisalign could fix that but an overjet means overcrowding, so you’d probably either need IPR to file your teeth to be narrower, or to have some teeth removed to make room. As your orthodontist to see what your options are.
Wow amazing transformation. I have a few more weeks to go. I also have a metal bar which they call permanent retainer behind the lower incisors. Hopefully it doesn’t bother you- just wanted to know how you care for the lower incisors in terms of flossing ??
i'm about to start my invisalign treatment in a few weeks time. my teeth arent as bad as his. just bucktooth with front two teeth angled outward. i cant wait for the final result. ive always disliked my smile and very self conscious when i smile in public.
Your teeth are straight, but your upper and lower teeth are still misaligned. Is that something that Invisalign is not able to correct? It's also disappointing that they did not correct your overbite. As I understand it, Invisalign is at least as expensive as braces. For that amount of money, I'd want my teeth to be perfect afterwards.
Someone would need jaw surgery to achieve perfection, Rick, and that’s a step too far for me. I wasn’t chasing perfection, just to look OK. And besides, the whole reason a perfect face looks so freaky when drawn by a computer is that humans aren’t perfect, and when they are perfect, they look wrong. I wouldn’t want to dip into the uncanny valley. Would you really want that?
yourboiifrance Probably, yes. The gum had to move an awful lot to follow my teeth. I had a second course of treatment to alleviate the pressure on my gums, which appears to have worked :)
i have similar teeth to the before pic, but not as intense. all of my teeth are around where they are supposed to be, but the two teeth are forward less than a centimeter. i'll start saving now so i can get this done.
amazing transformation. just watched your series and it helped me a lot, cause I just started my treatment! already 29,5 and as planned it will take around 8 month for me. happy to see, with a lot of effort of the patient, it can work! thanks and hopefully you are still happy with your achievement!
Hi Justin! I'm in the very beginning of the journey hand in hand with visalign (haha, it's more like "v in my mouth", but well, hand in hand sounds more romantic). My previous orthodontist said to me that there is no way to get my teeth aligned without pulling out two of them, which I didn't want to do. And now, a year later I went to another doctor, who said that I can keep all my teeth but it'll take two years for me, even though my teeth are not that bad))) I'm gonna watch your diary, you inspire me a lot, I'm gonna need it! Thank you for all your videos and for telling your story to people! Greetings from France and Russia) Katya
Live Russian Hi Katya - two years without pulling teeth does sound like a lot, but they’re the professional dentists, not me :) Still, I’m glad to hear someone will do it while letting you keep all your teeth. Very best of luck - I do hope my diary videos help! Cheers, and greetings from England!
Thank you for such quick reply. The thing is that they wanted to pull two upeer wisdom teeth so the rest could move faster, but if we're keeping them, they have to be moved as well. I'm okay with two years, it's nothing compared to the lifetime )) I have good vibes thanks to you and your story, Justin! That's one of the greatest things you've done for people, it would be a crime to keep it just for yourself!
Hi there - the gaps are there for your teeth to be able to move, so now they need to do that. I'm afraid my IPR was done gradually - a little on each visit - so I didn't notice any gaps except one on my lower jaw. But yours will close up as soon as your teeth are moved. It's the end result you're after, so aim for that and accept that things will be imperfect until then. Good luck!
@@CatGoneCrazy honestly hating the gaps! On day 2 it’s painful and uncomfortable, trying not to be negative, I don’t know anyone who has had a Invisalign to compare to xxx
Hello, can I know how long u wear your invisible braces? And is it because of the braces your gum got recession? Hope u can answer my question ya~ thank u very much!!!
Mei Chea Hi Mei - it was two courses, one of about 12 months and a refinement course of about 6 months. And yes, it does seem to have been the reason for my gum recession. Both of these questions and far more are answered in detail in the review video that’s linked at the end of this one, so do take a look at that too. Cheers!
I have seen all your videos and am going to have AirSmile. It is exactly the same I think, so your videos were a great help. I am also thinking about making also a diary for the Dutch people. Because I am already a little older then you are. So that is it for older people also.
Well, it’s hard sometimes but I just made myself stick to the plan. Then sure it’s difficult but you never have a problem because you never slip. Good luck :)
Your teeth look amazing! thanks for all the information you put online! Just two questions: How many invisalign braces did you have before refinement. Was is 31? And did you have attachments on the front teeth!I could never tell based on the video? I am asking because I think I would hate to have some on the front teeth. Many thanks for your answer!
mIchaelappreciated X Thank you :) I had 32 trays, I believe. And no, I did not have attachments on my front teeth, thankfully. I think if that was the only option I may have saved money and got traditional metal braces. Hope that helps you - good luck!
Hey mate, may I ask how many millimeters your overjet is? My ortho says braces could give me a 3-5mm overjet, and I was wondering whether that is comparable to yours. Thanks.
I’m doing Invisalign and my goodness I see the difference ! I ain’t done yet … I did frenectomy and gingevectomy … I’m on refinement stage ( on the Invisalign )

I'm curious about the refinement after the one year of treatment. Were your teeth not yet moved to the desired position? Or was it only for the goal of helping your gums? Also, could you elaborate a little bit about the situation with your gums?
Thanks! 😊
Hi - the refinement was primarily to ease the pressure on my gums by angling my teeth a little differently. This did indeed stop the gum recession, so I haven't any more problems so far, I'm pleased to say. However I do think my orthodontist wanted to reduce the overjet a little bit having seen how well the process had gone. I do think after the initial treatment, my teeth looked a bit 'big' in my mouth. I didn't actually finish the entirety of the refinement process as the diaries will show, but it was near enough and he made sure he was satisfied with my bite over a few visits before locking it in with the Vivera retainers.
@@CatGoneCrazy I actually watched through a couple of the diary videos and did some reserch. I wasn't familiar with the term "refinement" but I have a very clear idea of what it is now.
Thanks for responding!
Im on my 4th set of aligners out of…25! I wish my teeth will look something close to yours 🥺
I have the same exact before smile as you did- and I just had my trays ordered through Invisalign! And it’s funny because I used your pics as an example & my 1st consult also wanted me to have the same two teeth pulled as you! And I said no way! I will have a slight over jet as well! But the 2nd ortho actually told me to not pull the teeth because my genetics show me to have a smaller lower jaw and even with having two teeth pulled - unless I had jaw surgery - I would always have a slight over jet! I’m really excited and I keep rewatching your process and keep getting excited for my journey to begin !!
That's awesome - really happy to have helped you :) Very best of luck!
Omg u had to move other teeths out ?? Was it painful?
I didn't have any teeth removed! Count them :)
@@CatGoneCrazy yeah sorry ! I commented before watching ur documentry videos..
@@wherethereiswillthereisway7350 That's OK! I'm really glad I didn't have any taken out, but if I had done, the results would probably have looked even better.
I’m on tray #10 out of #28 and I’ve been watching your videos since I’ve first started, your videos are actually the reason why I decided to start! I’ve always had very crooked teeth and whenever I saw the change it did to yours, it gave me hope. I’ve noticed a slight difference, I’m still not able to smile confidently but I definitely feel the difference with my tongue, if that makes sense. I have an appointment next Monday to have more shots in my mouth to accelerate the process and will be switching trays every week, rather than every two. Dentist said everything should be fixed and perfect by February. Although the process is slow I’m hanging on to hope that soon I will have a nice smile and will finally be able to smile! Thank you for your videos 🙏
Pablo Pavia You’re very welcome! And February will be here before you know it. It’ll be well worth the wait, I’m sure! Very best of luck, and so glad to hear my videos have helped you :)
I'm on day 2 tray 1. How long after your 1st tray did you notice movement?

Update?
@@keishagurl83 my teeth are now straight and I’m pretty much smiling 24/7! 😁 I feel so much more confident and it really was easier than braces imo. I would recommend, it’s life changing. I can finally take pictures and smile in them!
My dude, you are just inspirational. In about 20 days, I'm going to get Invisalign and now, you've got me hype for it. I don't have a crowded mouth, mine are just gapped and you can spit a waterfall out like Francine, Buster and Binky on Arthur. I'm 31 now and when you said you were in your early 30s when you did Invisalign, I said hell why not. And seeing your before and after and basically looking at your confidence spike throughout your playlist videos, I'm now more than ever ready for this.
Chris Patton Cheers mate - that’s awesome. Very best of luck with it :)

Thanks for saying hello to me last week! You are an amazing person, that is easy to see.
I just had my IPR done Monday...I am so happy to start the new process to push my teeth in..
I need to say again that even though I had watched your full diary twice. I keep watching your videos weekly to be able to keep going through my journey....by the way your eyes are stunning, you look super handsome and I cannot stop looking at your teeth!!!! what a great smile!!!!!!
Indeed you are a breath of fresh air..so honest and sweet. Many Blessings and Best of Luck in your music career
Milly Adon Thank you so much, Milly! It was a pleasure to meet you too :) The IPR’s fine, isn’t it? I’m so glad my videos are helping you, it really means a lot - as do your very kind words! Do say hi again if you see me. Just so you know, I don’t get notifications on comment replies, only new comments so make a new comment if you have any questions you’d like answered, I’m always happy to help. Very best of luck with it, and carry on being so open and lovely. Cheers! :D
dude i love this transformation. One of your videos was the inspiration i needed to go down to my orthodontic practice and get the ball rolling with my treatment. My orth-dentist has suggested jaw surgery to fix my overjet but im not doing this! At the end of my treatment it is predicted i will have a 5mm overjet. How many mm is your overjet? If i can achieve your smile ill be cheering!!! There were other options to extract teeth but the extraction left me with too much room and thus, im worried itll shrink my jaw and overal appearance. How much IPR did you get aswell? any info will be appreciated, Thankyou man!
I'm on day 2. How long did it take to see some movement.
I'm on day 2.
Did you find it difficult to take them off of the front teeth before eating?
It took a few weeks to see some movement. Each tray moves your teeth up to one third of a millimetre so it'll be some time before you notice a change. Don't forget, your orthodontist has a 'clincheck' animation that shows exactly how your teeth will look at every stage of the process, so just ask him/her if you can see it next time you have an appointment. I answered your other question when you asked it on the other video.
@@CatGoneCrazy thank you so much. Day 3, they actually feel better in my mouth.
So glad you decided to do a journal and share.
Thanks for answering my questions.
I'll definitely contact my orthodontist and ask to view the video
I want Invisalign now really now😁
This is like going from a man to superman.
How to deal with pain !!!!! This is worse than labor
You look amazing. ,I have 3.5 months to finish my Invisalign treatment but my upper teeth look weird all of it came out like I have over bit 😔 and scary big teeth
Shan Hasan My overjet was worse in the weeks prior to finishing because the last few trays brought them back in. You should have seen your Clincheck animation beforehand so there really shouldn’t be any surprises. Ask to see it again, and if you’re still unsure, ask about further IPR and refinements. Or otherwise the alternative is pulling teeth to make room, and another two years’ treatment. That’s just what I’ve learned from all this, I must stress I am not a trained medical professional, so ask your orthodontist. But honestly it’s far more likely it’s just a case if getting worse before they get better. Only the final tray is meant to look finished. Look at my videos before I finished the first course of treatment, and even when I did. They were moved further back with refinement so it can be done if you’re unhappy.
@@CatGoneCrazy thanks for responding and I appreciate it
Now it makes sense and believe it or not the way you explain the concept, it's better than the orthodontist
Thanks again😊
How long after your 1st tray did you start to notice some movement.
I'm on day 2 tray 1.
@@spirituallyyoung5295 tray 8 😊. I change my trays every week not every two weeks

TheRealCatGoneCrazy mine are coming in 5 weeks. I’m scared but excited, thank you for your videos love
Oh my god , you are a handsome guy with just ur teeth fixed
My teeth are just like yours my canines are pushed forward and it sucks cause everyone can see I just don’t smile with my teeth I got dimples so that helps I’m hoping I can get Invisalign instead of braces I’m just crossing my fingers and praying
Every time I get my teeth evaluated they say I need to have my wisdom teeth removed prior to any other orthodontics treatment. Did you have your wisdom teeth removed?
Nope. I have no idea if they've come through or what. I suppose you could tell from these pics if you knew what you were looking for.
You want from Ashy to Classy💯🤗
Had I know that my bite would never line up again, I would never have done this. I hate my results and it’s uncomfortable when I eat. I’ve even been to an ortho for a second opinion and he’s says everything is fine and as good as it will get. My bottom teeth still look crooked. Apparently the only option is verniers now. Bullshit. Waste of money and time. Invisalign was my biggest mistake ever. 😡
I’m very sorry to hear that. What do you mean, not line up? Your jaw does need to retrain sometimes to have your bite further forward or back than it used to be, but making the bite meet properly is part of your orthodontist’s job, so it really should meet properly for eating. If your mouth is still crowded, it won’t meet fully front to back (like mine) but you should be able to chew properly, for sure.
God, you look absolutely gorgeous - what an incredibly good outcome, you must be so pleased. You look like Keith Urban's younger, better looking brother. :)
Thank you, Janine :) You're too kind!
Wow..! Beautiful teeth!
Thank you for sharing your treatment. I’m on day 3 of my Invisalign journey. I hope my teeth will look even half as beautiful as yours!
Three little birds Thank you :) Very best of luck, I hope you get amazing results!
You are lucky you got to keep all your teeth. I have had 8 removed so I only have 24 unfortunately
I'm going with plus dent has anyone had any experience with them just waiting for them to arrive thanks
Gorgeous smile. You should be very proud!
Hi I saw all your Invisalign treatment process and impressed before I done mine. I had Invisalign treatment in 2018 June to 2019 may after that doc gave me removable retainers but I rarely used it after few months my teeth started to move in front and now I’m wearing it again every night. I also got gum recession which hurt a lot coz of that I’m scared to use it.
Can u tell me about fixed wire? Pls
if you look closely at the chin in both the before and after face pics, before his chin was a little offset to the right, and after it looks perfectly centered!
I can't stop staring at your teeth
Wow.. it is perfectly made. Amazing work
I just started a few weeks ago and I needed to come every week, because attachments and buttons keep falling out. I was so enthusiastic to start, but honestly it makes me so sad now. And it's a huge investment so now I don't know what to do...
Wow your teeth look amazing!! 😍
I also put Invisalign but they make me vomit .. have you nausea all this time wearing them?
I'm 1 week in and have 32 left. Lord this is gonna be a long year!
I love your smile simply amazing..I'm on my 22 tray, and I'm really finding it hard and challenging to say the least . I was already underweight for my height since wearing this inhave lost 10 pounds within the first two months of wearing the Invisalign. Again my jawline us very narrow so I am really hoping it will reshape my face. Hard to stay positive and motivated when you are not noticing the visable changes from the front of the mouth. I have 40 trays in total. Hoping I want exceed more then 10 months but he has already said that I will require refinements. I hope my results look as good as yours. Your uploads really help me stay with the program. Thank you
Hi Ally - sorry to hear about the refinements and unwanted weight loss. I suppose it means you get to eat cake? Obviously I suggest you see a GP about a healthy higher-calorie diet but a bit of cake is surely on the cards 😋 The visible changes will come soon, don’t worry! Stick at it :) And glad my videos are helping, just do what they say and the results will soon come. Good luck!
when Jesus Christ himself uses Invisalign :D
Jesus probably looked nothing like this man but this is funny comment 😂😂😂💀
He's beautiful Jesus man
Wow wow wow! I'm currently going through Invisalign treatment. Had 16 trays top and bottom initially to then see where I was at after them, dentist wasn't 100% happy so I'm on another 8 trays but just top tray only and I've seen a big difference already. You've done amazing to get those results.
Anna Nash Thank you! And yes, refinements are a good thing. My teeth look better now compared to the last day if my actual treatment due to refinements. Very best of luck and thanks for the lovely comment :)
How soon after starting your 1st tray did you start to see movement?
How did it cost you? Please and thnx bro for your time you look perfect 👍
Iw Wanly Thanks :) And the costs vary for each person so I don’t give out the exact price of my treatment. Expect somewhere between £2k-£5k and the same range in USD. Mine was the upper end of that range as my teeth needed a lot of moving! You can get a free consultation, though, and they’ll give you a projected price. Cheers!
I am 52 years old and have finally decided to do this for myself. My top teeth are pretty straight, but I had my front bottom tooth pulled out when I was 10...due to “potential” overcrowding. Found out when older it was cheaper pulling the tooth than getting braces...thanks mom. Now have a severely crooked tooth and gaps. I only wanted to do the bottom teeth, but to make sure my bite and everything aligns correctly will do top also. You are positive, funny, seem like a really nice guy, and your smile is beautiful. I watched all your videos and found them extremely informative and helpful. I’m not going to lie, I am still nervous about doing this, but thank you so much for taking the time to make and share your Invisalign journey.
nihongo0504 Thanks for the kind comment :) Yeah, they do insist on doing both top and bottom for the bite. You won’t believe the difference after it’s finished! Very best of luck, and thank you for watching the whole diary! Cheers!
I'm 64 and am on my 7th of 30. I wish I did this at your age...haha...His videos cemented my decision to do Invisalign.
So i had braces for now almost 3 years got them removed yesterday and noticed a overjet that i didnt really like. I got an invisalign from my Doc. and i wanted to ask if it fixes and overjet as well or only straights out the teeth ? i thought my teeth are gonna look perfect tbh after 3years of wearing braces but im not really satisfied with the result. Maybe the invisalign fixes that who knows :D
Invisalign could fix that but an overjet means overcrowding, so you’d probably either need IPR to file your teeth to be narrower, or to have some teeth removed to make room. As your orthodontist to see what your options are.
Wow amazing transformation. I have a few more weeks to go. I also have a metal bar which they call permanent retainer behind the lower incisors. Hopefully it doesn’t bother you- just wanted to know how you care for the lower incisors in terms of flossing ??
i'm about to start my invisalign treatment in a few weeks time. my teeth arent as bad as his. just bucktooth with front two teeth angled outward. i cant wait for the final result. ive always disliked my smile and very self conscious when i smile in public.
From Seth to Brendan
Wow
I still can't get over this! Absolutely amazing. And that pesky wire haha!!
Fit Panda Haha thanks :) But honestly I think about the wire about once every two months. It’s like it’s not there now, honestly!
Your smile is just so beautiful- gives me hope on mine as I am on day 3
Your teeth are straight, but your upper and lower teeth are still misaligned. Is that something that Invisalign is not able to correct? It's also disappointing that they did not correct your overbite. As I understand it, Invisalign is at least as expensive as braces. For that amount of money, I'd want my teeth to be perfect afterwards.
Someone would need jaw surgery to achieve perfection, Rick, and that’s a step too far for me. I wasn’t chasing perfection, just to look OK. And besides, the whole reason a perfect face looks so freaky when drawn by a computer is that humans aren’t perfect, and when they are perfect, they look wrong. I wouldn’t want to dip into the uncanny valley. Would you really want that?
was the gum recession due to the invisible braces?
yourboiifrance Probably, yes. The gum had to move an awful lot to follow my teeth. I had a second course of treatment to alleviate the pressure on my gums, which appears to have worked :)
i have similar teeth to the before pic, but not as intense. all of my teeth are around where they are supposed to be, but the two teeth are forward less than a centimeter. i'll start saving now so i can get this done.
You remind me of the butler from scary movie , much love
You look like jesus
Did it change the way you talk? Before vs after Invisalign?
No, I don’t think my voice has changed at all - plenty of talking on my channel, have a listen and see :)
@@CatGoneCrazy ok good to know thanks
Wow my teeth are similar to your before
Thanks for sharing. This is exactly what i am looking for.
Invisalign worked a miracle on your teeth. Where do I sign up?
amazing transformation. just watched your series and it helped me a lot, cause I just started my treatment! already 29,5 and as planned it will take around 8 month for me. happy to see, with a lot of effort of the patient, it can work! thanks and hopefully you are still happy with your achievement!
Thank you! Very best of luck with yours too :)
Hi Justin! I'm in the very beginning of the journey hand in hand with visalign (haha, it's more like "v in my mouth", but well, hand in hand sounds more romantic). My previous orthodontist said to me that there is no way to get my teeth aligned without pulling out two of them, which I didn't want to do. And now, a year later I went to another doctor, who said that I can keep all my teeth but it'll take two years for me, even though my teeth are not that bad)))
I'm gonna watch your diary, you inspire me a lot, I'm gonna need it!
Thank you for all your videos and for telling your story to people!
Greetings from France and Russia)
Katya
Live Russian Hi Katya - two years without pulling teeth does sound like a lot, but they’re the professional dentists, not me :) Still, I’m glad to hear someone will do it while letting you keep all your teeth. Very best of luck - I do hope my diary videos help! Cheers, and greetings from England!
Thank you for such quick reply. The thing is that they wanted to pull two upeer wisdom teeth so the rest could move faster, but if we're keeping them, they have to be moved as well. I'm okay with two years, it's nothing compared to the lifetime )) I have good vibes thanks to you and your story, Justin! That's one of the greatest things you've done for people, it would be a crime to keep it just for yourself!
Jesus saves
Hi! I had IPL and attachments fitted and hating the little gaps!! How long did it take for your gaps to close up?? 😥
Hi there - the gaps are there for your teeth to be able to move, so now they need to do that. I'm afraid my IPR was done gradually - a little on each visit - so I didn't notice any gaps except one on my lower jaw. But yours will close up as soon as your teeth are moved. It's the end result you're after, so aim for that and accept that things will be imperfect until then. Good luck!
@@CatGoneCrazy honestly hating the gaps! On day 2 it’s painful and uncomfortable, trying not to be negative, I don’t know anyone who has had a Invisalign to compare to xxx
Hello, can I know how long u wear your invisible braces? And is it because of the braces your gum got recession? Hope u can answer my question ya~ thank u very much!!!
Mei Chea Hi Mei - it was two courses, one of about 12 months and a refinement course of about 6 months. And yes, it does seem to have been the reason for my gum recession. Both of these questions and far more are answered in detail in the review video that’s linked at the end of this one, so do take a look at that too. Cheers!

Retention bar is permanent and I completely forget it's there :) Not uncomfortable at all and doesn't take long to get used to.
You are very handsome and your teeth are beautiful.
I have seen all your videos and am going to have AirSmile. It is exactly the same I think, so your videos were a great help.
I am also thinking about making also a diary for the Dutch people. Because I am already a little older then you are. So that is it for older people also.
Was it hard to wear them all day long and stay disciplined? I'm about to start my Invisalign trays and that's the only part I'm worried about
Well, it’s hard sometimes but I just made myself stick to the plan. Then sure it’s difficult but you never have a problem because you never slip. Good luck :)
How much was Invisalign
It’s usually between £2,000 and £5,000 depending on what your teeth need.
You can get the permanent alligners after your done
I’m on tray 4 rn how many trays did it take to see difference? Btw I’m getting attachments in 2 weeks
By Tray 3 I could see my incisors moving - take a look at my diary playlist and see for yourself :)
You look like one of the members from the beegees music group, are u guys from the same country?
The Bee Gees were English-born, like me. But no relation as far as I know :) I do absolutely love 'You Win Again' though - what a fantastic song.
Your teeth look amazing! thanks for all the information you put online! Just two questions: How many invisalign braces did you have before refinement. Was is 31? And did you have attachments on the front teeth!I could never tell based on the video? I am asking because I think I would hate to have some on the front teeth. Many thanks for your answer!
mIchaelappreciated X Thank you :) I had 32 trays, I believe. And no, I did not have attachments on my front teeth, thankfully. I think if that was the only option I may have saved money and got traditional metal braces. Hope that helps you - good luck!
Hey mate, may I ask how many millimeters your overjet is? My ortho says braces could give me a 3-5mm overjet, and I was wondering whether that is comparable to yours. Thanks.
I think mine is about 5-6mm so you should be fine :)
@@CatGoneCrazy thanks for the reply, mate. All the best.
Thanks man... I'm getting mine next week
