 Hey guys it's Camille and today something a little bit different you notice I'm not in the kitchen but I am actually with the orthodontist getting braces after having braces as a teenager I didn't wear my retainers at night who loves to our retainers not me and also just all from having four babies my teeth moved with every baby so much these teeth are starting to all move forward and I have an underbite and overbite problem I'm dealing with I've got all kinds of problems going on and so I was looking into different orthodontists in my area found an orthodontist who specializes in this life so I'm excited I'm nervous and I decided I'd take you along and kind of show you what you can expect as an adult doing a visa line so I met the Fay Orthodontics they are in Caseville Utah they also have an office in Farmington Utah so if you're familiar with Northern Utah this is a really good name that you're going to want to know okay so I think it's about time for my appointment I don't want to be late come with me and we'll get started once you get all checked in at the computer they'll take you on the tour of their beautiful office to kind of show you around this also includes a stop at the adult waiting area which does include a massage chair uninterrupted TV and some nice beverages next they're going to want to take some pictures kind of feels a little like a mugshot but they're going to take pictures of your teeth and your jaw from every angle these spreaders are a little bit uncomfortable but they definitely get the job done you have to make sure you have lots of chapstick on today yeah like I said pictures from every angle so happy to be here today this is happening these teeth gonna be so straight so do you remember those goopy impressions those mouth molds we used to have to do no more this 3d digital scanner takes care of it it scans each tooth and sends the results over to the orthodontist so we can talk about which treatment is going to be best for me oh after having that camera in my mouth I've got my scans back which came so fast like that's crazy there's my mouth there's my teeth here's the work that needs to be done so I'm here with Cherokee she's gonna kind of walk me through yes perfect so and what we're gonna do is I can kind of talk to you about a little bit of the options that dr. if they will present to you okay and what are like your main concerns and questions with treatment and going through the treatment again the main thing and the thing why I've waited so long to come and see someone is because I don't want to wear all the braces again and so the more I've heard about them this line the more I thought okay that seems more like something I could really do oh absolutely yeah it's it's a pretty amazing product and when you're deciding which treatment option works for you you're just going to decide with your lifestyle kind of what works and dr. if they will go through all of that with you okay so as I was kind of researching orthodontics yeah and the best one for me to go to and that was convenient um I saw so much about dr. DeFey that he like specializes in visible line and as you're looking for somebody who's going to do invisible line what are the things you might look for so when you're looking for specifically an invisible line provider and there's a few things to look for so for instance in this line has different tiers of providers which means that they do more production okay basically they treat more patients they do more cases per year um and so they have different tiers so I do know that like dr. Fay is an elite provider which is the highest tier that you can be at crazy you're kind of one of them so he does a lot yes we do a ton okay that's awesome yeah which it's it makes a big difference um because you can I mean if you do a few cases a year you're not going to be familiar with the product so he really kind of mastered how to digitally plan these because it is a software so you do have to get familiar with it so and we were the first to I know hit that status in like the Davis County area so we've really kind of mastered and cued in our process for all of this so so you're saying I'm in good hands yes okay good that might be fine but you know I think you are and um but it's good because it is you know a free console you can kind of make that decision you know for yourself does this work for you so um that's definitely something I would look for when you're kind of searching for providers okay so what I'll do is go ahead and go get dr. de Fay bring him in and what he'll do is he'll do an exam really quick and then he'll sit down and actually go through things with you and go through you know what the design is kind of how the product works and answer any of those other questions all right okay okay thank you no problem well welcome milver so uh excited that you've uh decided to you know come in and and have your teeth looked at here um this is a pretty easy process okay first thing what we'll do is just uh take a look in your mouth put some measurements in the computer and then once we're done there we'll come on over the desk and kind of talk through some things and go through those photos that we took of you okay so it's good all right my teeth twice all right okay so you'll get a good score and this is good after looking at my teeth and taking some really flattering pictures tell me how bad it is so here's uh here's where we are and you came in you let us know you know there's I've noticed my teeth have been moving if I remember right you've had some orthodontic treatment before right two years two years of braces and then maybe sometimes those retainers uh just uh they get lost they get lost over time right and this is not uncommon we see uh we see folks like you all the time we really see most of our adult patients with the mizoline now so we'll kind of talk about that in a second but um so you can see these lower teeth have crowded up some um so uh that's going to be probably the thing that you were most interested in yeah definitely um and you know on the upper two we can see that things have started crowding and there's kind of a narrow front teeth are kind of turning right I totally noticed that especially like just that's where food gets caught right what happens usually is the the bite will deepen over time so without a retainer in uh vertically the top teeth start overlapping the bottom teeth more and that puts pressure on those lower teeth and causes them to crowd like this right um front to back uh the teeth line up pretty close to where we need them to but we may need to have you wear some of those fun rubber bands uh through your treatment hopefully just at night yeah exactly so um so that's that's kind of it we've taken an x-ray here and that gives me an idea of uh some measurements of your upper lower jaw and the angle the teeth are at and uh nice big brain here so that's plenty of room for all my smarts you did that scan earlier and so this is a view here of your teeth now on the left and on the right the computer's just done a quick simulation of a way that we could align the teeth so so much of Invisalign is all done via computer yeah digitally yeah this is crazy yeah so that's that's really changed things drastically in in orthodontics over the past few years and you know Invisalign when it first came out it was a really a great idea but it it really wasn't that effective until more recently so you've timed this at a good time yeah but now we have that ability to to use our you know education to give those teeth where we want them so like for example this tooth me looks like it's tipped a little and so even though the computer liked that I'm not really satisfied with that so we're going to go in and and do some some changes here um and so the aligners that I wear are going to turn my teeth right exactly so so what we do is we're we order a whole set series of aligners so say in your case it might be you know 30 sets of aligners and and then we have you switch them out once per week and so we'll give you a series of maybe 10 at a time and you'd wear those aligners and we have an example of those here actually okay cool so this is the aligners so you can see they're just a flexible plastic material yeah so super thin super light that's nuts yep so I mean it's super light yeah and the plastic has changed in the past few years too the first plastic that they used was very rigid and so it didn't adapt to the teeth as well didn't move the teeth as efficiently so now it's it's it's really comfortable and it works really well so I don't know if you can see this but there's some little tooth colored bumps on those teeth you can feel those if you want come here and so those also make the the treatment much more effective so if you just have a slip cover over the teeth it's likely not going to move those teeth as if we're not going to be able to have control over the root of the teeth and those things that really make the the result a nice finish and so we put those attachments on they're they're customized to every individual case but that's that's something that will be stuck onto your teeth okay so the consultation ended up going really well and I was just really impressed with the entire office with just all of the state of the art technology um and just the way that they answered all of my questions and all of my concerns so I ended up going forward and um I'm gonna do and this align and so be sure to tune in next week because I'm gonna go get the aligners put on get the brackets put on my teeth and um just start this process and I'm excited to share how it goes excited to share my results um when I'm all said and done be sure to tune in next week and see as I get started so have a good day you guys we'll see you later
