 Hey guys, it's Camille with Six Sister Stuff and today I am back at the Bay Orthodontics. It has been 11 months and I am done with my vaseline treatment. So I actually have my final aligners in right now and I'm thrilled with the results. So I'm going to go in for my final appointment, get a permanent retainer put in on my bottoms. So let's go ahead and get this party started. The first thing that we do at this final appointment is take my mug shots. This is so that we can compare a before and after picture just to see how my teeth have progressed. I get to wear those lovely spreaders again just so we can get pictures of my teeth and my jaw from every angle. I'm going to give you a heads up on this day. Be sure to wear a loud chapstick because your lips will be stretched to new limits. Next we're going to put in my permanent retainer. I'm just getting it put in on the bottom. I have the most movement in my front bottom teeth and so this wire, it's a thin wire that just stretches across the bottom. It's going to hold those teeth in place permanently. Next up is one last digital scan. I love that I don't have to do those goopy molds anymore. That they can just do it all digitally. That the images go directly to my orthodontist and he can look at them immediately. This is amazing. And last we end with one final x-ray. I am here in Dr. DeFay's office. It's been about 11 months, we said a year to a year and a half. So the fact that I came in under that, I'm stoked about and I'm really, I would do it all again. It was so much easier than braces. So it really was easy and so much less painful. I will say that too. Like none of the tightening had going on. It was so easy. Yeah. Great. Well, yeah. So I thought it'd be fun to just go back through and show you what we were working on. Show the changes that these aligners can do. That's what's crazy to me is it's just a simple aligner that I popped in and it did all this movement. Exactly. And you know, but where the way we used to do these things was to take kind of a goopy impression. If you remember those when you were a kid, right? And so now we've got the digital scanner. So we took the scan of your mouth in the software, planned this out. I know we talked about this before, but it's always fun to review how we wanted this to move. So one of the main things that you were focused on was your lower teeth. You noticed over time, without a retainer, right, these teeth wanted to crowd up over time. And this was what I was most self-conscious about just because where I'm doing so much video and like stuff showing my face, I was embarrassed when I would talk and smile. I felt like everyone was staring at these garbled teeth. So let's see our photos. So we've got some before and after photos to talk through here. So there's where we started. And so if we remember, you had some thoughts too, I think, about the way things looked like it. Your main concern was these lower teeth or crowns, right? But we wondered, you know, we also had some some narrowness up here. So the things that crowd in the front and we just wanted to see if we brought in your smile. So let's do a little side-by-side, that'll be fun, right? So here's where we are. So we really can see how things have filled in. They've just widened a little bit, but it's made such a difference. So before and after. We just, you know, you can see how things have really rounded out just throughout there. Hey! And that's, to me, has like even changed my smile, like just made it more full. Not so much narrow and forward, but like open that up, which I wanted. Yeah. And we can do that with the liners now. So that's, that's really exciting. With teeth, you don't realize how much confidence comes from having a smile that you feel good about. Yeah. And just when you talk to people and it's made a big difference. Yeah. Thank you. It affects us. Yeah, you bet. We're so glad you came in. Yeah. A lot of times, you know, I think we're thinking, you know, can orthodontics fix this, this confidence feeling, you know, do I need to go in and do I need to have all my teeth crowned or pulled out or what do I need to do? Yeah, exactly. But really just changing where the teeth are. And we have the ability, like we talked about, to change the width and brightness. Totally. Open up my mouth and maybe I snore less at night from that. And do it with the liners. So yeah, it's an exciting time to. It's awesome. And, you know, adults have a way to do this without braces now that's much more predictable than it was even a couple years ago. It's been great. Well, good. Well, congratulations. Thank you. Thank you so much. That's great. And now after 11 months, I'm celebrating being done with Invisalign, loving the way my teeth look, and a big thank you to Defei Orthodontics in Northern Utah. Thank you so much for my new smile.
