Hi people of the internet, my name is Sophia. I am 13 years old, and I recently decided to get Invisalign Teen. My teeth aren't THAT bad, but I have some areas of my smile which I do not like - at all. One is what some people call, my "freaky tooth", which is my left canine. It sticks out and pushes my lateral incisor back. Another problem is that my bite is closed on one side, and a little open on the other, making my bite uneven(my top teeth and bottom teeth don't line up). So, yeah, that's basically it. My Invisalign treatment is an estimated 16 months, not including refinements. If you want to know about the molds/x-rays, here is some basic info:
The x-rays are absolutely painless. You just place your head into this thing, and put your chin on a chin rest. Then the contraption rotates around your head, and you're done!
The molds are a little uncomfortable, but not too bad. They fill two trays with the molding stuff, and place one on the top, wait five minutes, take it out, then one on the bottom, wait five minutes, then take it out.
You're done!

Well, I will try to post a picture of my teeth soon!
I am in the process of waiting for my trays to arrive, they could come any day now! (It has been five weeks since my molds/x-rays)
Xoxo
