 Welcome back to my channel guys it's your girl Coco styles and on this channel we talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling. So today is going to be a little recap of my Invisalign so this is a lifestyle video and I just found my original papers from the dentist and I'm going to try to pop in a photo and kind of like talk it through as I'm looking at it. So they gave me I mean like let me see this little thing looks funny but I'm gonna show you guys this one. So what I have here is are the I'm gonna I'm gonna take a photo of it and try to make it as clear as I possibly can so you guys can see. So they have six photos here of my teeth three of me. Now my face looks a little chubby back then. So you're gonna notice once I'm gonna pop in a thing pop in a photo that the top teeth the top two teeth were slightly shifting inwards. You can you can tell from the angle of how this one is done then you have let's see the bottom can you really see no I'm gonna show you the top because the top is where the main issue was the bottom was but in this photo you can't really see the tooth it was just one tooth that I felt like it was slightly going backwards and then it looks like I guess I can show you this tooth this picture too because as I look at my teeth now everything looks more rounded so I'm gonna cheese right now and I'm gonna pop in one of these photos here so let me come up closer and just smile so I don't know if you guys so I have the the braces on now um they're looking really good so this is tray 19 I have 25 trays but up to 20 it's regular trays and the next five are retainers I know that I'm gonna order some more and I'll tell you why um because I think it's only been five five months it'll be five months if I do the entire thing yeah so if you guys can see it looks really really straight I didn't wash my hands but let me take them off so here's a good thing okay see so they look really good this tooth here was it this one uh-huh I think it should come out a little more these are good now my only issue I don't know if it's an issue or if that's just how my teeth are shaped so I have a button on this tooth and it's still like a little space because these definitely came together I'm gonna see what they say it's not like it's an issue but I do still feel like I have like a fang I don't know if that makes sense I look super greasy I was outside today and so that's it the rest of them are moving good here's the other thing I'm gonna pop these back in it's easy okay the other thing is is when oh the other good thing is that none of my nothing would none of my attachments fell off this whole time um they did say try to stay away from super hot food I drink tea guys I do but it's not like scorching hot but it is hot enough to where you know I'm getting the herbs and stuff in my body um so I haven't had that issue I told you guys I had a time where I had pain two to three different trays but the top oh so the top where they shaved it down that's together now you can't even tell that they did anything there um that's why I first felt the pain before I actually did the shaping because she said it was trying to shift there so they had to make a little bit of space for me to actually let the teeth shift but other than that I think um I would recommend spark I don't know anything about Invisalign um what I've seen was excellent results from people too um but I also heard that they were in a lot of pain now I don't know if the pain well I'm I'm sure it has something to do with the amount of shifting your teeth have to do um because I only felt it a little bit here at the top and then a little bit at the bottom everywhere else I'm pretty pretty good with um so yes I would recommend it I believe I said this before but I'm gonna say it again for those of you who are new to my channel I initially went to my regular dentist for a quote um she was 55 or 5600 right but I remember someone on YouTube said go to an orthodontist and the reason why you should go to orthodontist is because they are much more familiar with that because it's braces right irregular dentists yes they may know but I would recommend going to an orthodontist um so she was charging me 5600 my insurance was covering my dental insurance was covering it was like a little bit I don't even remember it was low but when I went to the new place who are actually in network they never accounted for my coverage and they kind of messed up which I was a little turned off by because she said that they didn't cover anything that there was an age difference and I'm like this is no way because my outer network dentist they were covering a portion of it I mean it was small but it was just like they were covering it so I basically ended up it's so dark in my room guys I'm so sorry let me turn the light on because it's pretty dark I'm gonna turn on I have a light on but sometimes when yeah I don't I don't have my box right on either so um so I called my insurance company myself and they said there was no cap on age so when I called them back I know she kind of felt a little taken aback and she tried to blame it on me the new girl but they never called so go to an in-network orthodontist if you can um this place will happen to have really really good reviews they're really nice in there so I left them in there close to where I live um so I recommend these I guess I don't know anything about Invisalign I know they're similar these trays are lighter than Invisalign they do have a they both clear but Invisalign has a slight yellow tint to it these do not I have not had any issues where I had to file them down except for ones but honestly I don't think it was the tray I think it was well it was the tray but for whatever reason it kept it wasn't like it was sharp it just kept pressing into my gum my cheek so I just like squeezed it together and that helped um but they do give you a file for that make sure you guys are flossing listen I know folks don't floss out there and I'm telling you now you need to floss your teeth because food will get stuck up there and you don't want that sitting under your tracks is it hard to manage with it this is a question I always get no my friend knows that I love to eat I'm always snacking and she's like well how are you with eating I'm like girl I still eat okay I just take them out and I you know floss and brush my teeth put them right back in I don't make it a big deal um if I have them out too long I don't even worry about it because I usually have them on the amount the right amount of time excuse me and another question I get is what I do it again I would I'm 42 so I mean the older we get our teeth are going to shift my mom had a beautiful teeth guys like I mean they were so perfect and she smoked cigarettes at one point okay they wasn't even yellow like they just were perfect teeth people always thought she had dentures she just had really nice teeth and I need my teeth to be like hers okay but I used to suck my thumb back in the day when I was a small child so I did have like kind of like round teeth and I can still see look you guys see it's kind of so bright they were kind of round they're still kind of round but I wouldn't do any shaving at like the the top of my teeth or anything like that um I don't want them like super sharp straight it's gonna look weird on me um and it's not it's not it's not I don't think it's needed another question I get is why would I want to do this at such a late age well because I was fine up until 40 and then they just thought I started noticing the slight shift I started with the bottom tooth and I was like okay no and I'll tell you why I was like because I've never had anything wrong with my teeth so for me it's an investment um one thing I don't like to see is people who make money um I'll be honest with you and if there are any guys that follow this page and you watch I've seen men that make money or that have money and they don't do anything to their teeth and I'm like what like drop a good low five you have this you have that you can't invest in your teeth so it's kind of like it takes me back a little bit I feel like if you have the money just pay for it pay for it I see people buy cars and stuff right that's a lot of money just pay for your teeth get it out the way trust me you will feel so much happier this particular guy I knew he just like I don't know I just never understood why he's such a nice person but I didn't understand then I thought well maybe it was like a hell of a thing I don't know get them all taken out just get some new ones it's not that bad guys it's worth it um let me see what else they asked me is the pain I didn't have a lot of pain like I said um eating going out of course is annoying as a heck um but if you are I'll say this it's been times where I forgot my toothbrush I did and I had to like rinse with like water like really really good and put them back in before I go home and the good thing is that I was still on my way home so it wasn't like I was in them for like hours right 30 minutes max but they were still in my my mouth when I got home I could wash my stuff like that so those are some things um I haven't launched a pair yet or threw anything out I do know people do that too um because that's easy to do especially if you're just snacking you're into more if you sit them there if you don't put them in like the case I don't always put them in the case I'll just send them on like a napkin I'll rinse them out when I take them off because it's always like saliva in them and then I will just send them on like a fresh napkin you know and I'll you know brush my teeth wash brush my teeth my clothes all that good stuff and then I'm good but to end this video I would say guys yes you should get this I am not a spokesperson for them but I actually enjoyed this process it wasn't anything that I felt like I couldn't do it didn't limit me eating or anything like that I think honestly what saved me too from the pain is changing them at night time when I left there she said changing my night it would limit the amount of pain so I didn't think nothing of it but I'll tell you this the a little bit of pain that I had it had to have done something so maybe that's a good tip for you guys change them at night time so most of the pain is there when you are sleeping so this is my teeth guys let me see it's so bright I'm gonna um yeah it's so bright just because I have this thing here too let me see if I come a little closer oh yeah look this is my teeth y'all so I'll pop in the picture again and see how much I can um show you guys take it I'm trying to take a good photo um and see what I can show so if you like videos like this let me know if you want to I'm actually going to when I go back I'm gonna get more trades so I'll probably do another video and then I'm not gonna keep on with you guys with them um I'll probably do another video once I get new trades to see how those feel because they have to mold it again and then I'll probably do a final final in my head I'm thinking going until December I'm gonna see what they say but if I can get the most trades I can that's what I'm gonna do you don't pay for additional trades which is perfect too so you go until you're happy opposed to if you have braces you go until the orthodontist says to stop so that's the other thing but um if you like videos like this please comment below and if you stay to the end of this video please comment Coco we see you and don't forget to
