One of the most significant improvements in orthodontic care over the past several decades is Invisalign . Invisalign is the perfect solution for adults who want to straighten their teeth without walking around with a mouth full of metal. It is also an excellent way to address minor teeth straightening issues for young adults. Many people often ask us if they should do the online version of Invisalign. After all, when you compare, most of the time the internet options cost less. But there are many things that you sacrifice when you go the cheaper route. You do get what you pay for and when it comes to your teeth, they are too important to find out the hard way why the online version is cheaper! LACK OF GUIDANCE When you do Invisalign online, you don’t have the guidance of a professional to check on your progress.

It has been a while since I  first posted about getting Invisalign , so it’s definitely time for an update! Cutting to the chase, I have been blown away by the results so far. I honestly didn’t realize how bad my teeth were. I thought I just had one tooth that was starting to hide behind another tooth, as well as an open bite. But now after not quite three months with Invisalign , I’ve seen my bite shift and I’ve noticed a change in literally every single tooth’s alignment . I had no idea so many teeth were out of place, but my entire mouth has changed! Not only does my smile itself look completely different, but my profile has changed since my bite is no longer as open. I’m incredibly excited to see how my results continue to progress. I see Dr. Tatum at  Tatum Dentistry  about once a month or so , which gives her a chance to check my progress, complete any additional  inter-proximal reduction if needed, and then send me home with a new set of aligners. I sw...
