This is Why I’m Getting Invisible Aligners

invisible aligners

I’m getting invisible aligners. When I told some people, they looked at me really strangely. “You have perfect teeth,” one friend told me. Yes, I did have braces when I was a teenager, and yes, my teeth are decent, but they are far from perfect. I think some other mamas can relate – my teeth shifted a lot when I got pregnant. I used to have perfectly aligned teeth. Now, I have a semi-straight, but not nearly perfect, teeth.

My biggest complaint is that my front teeth are no longer parallel. I have one tooth on the left, next to my front teeth, that juts in. I also don’t have enough of an overbite, my teeth almost side right on top of each other – not the bite I’m supposed to have, according to my dentist.

None of these issues are severe, nor would I have to get aligners, but I want my perfect teeth back! The teeth I had right after I had braces, that perfect smile that used to elicit compliments.

When Byte contacted me about pursuing invisible aligners, I jumped at the idea. I’d been considering a competitor for awhile. What I love about Byte is the convenience and affordability of their offering. The great thing about Byte is that you never have to go to a dentist’s office – the entire process happens right at home. You can get straighter teeth, without going to the dentist AND Byte has figured out how to cut the treatment time in half with their exclusive tool. They also provide teeth whitener, on top of it.

My Byte Kit arrived in the cutest packaging. After opening it and reading the instructions, I knew the process was going to be a breeze. They laid everything out so it was very clear how to move forward.

The entire process probably took about 20-30 minutes. In the comfort of your own home, you get to play with clay and make your own dental impressions. I actually found the process fun. I also loved that Byte provides four impressions – two for top and two for bottom. This is a nice touch because if you mess up one of your impressions, you don’t have to worry. You get two tries to get the perfect impressions.

To be honest, I totally messed up one of my top impressions. I didn’t do it nearly deep enough – I didn’t apply enough pressure, so the impression didn’t work at all. I learned my lesson, and did better on the others.

Once you’re done with the impressions, you simply stick them in the pre-paid shipping envelop and send them off to Byte to get your aligners made. I just finished the process this week, so I’m still waiting for my aligners. I can’t way to get started!

If you’re considering invisible aligners, I definitely encourage you to check out Byte. Their process is seamless, so easy to follow, and so much more affordable than some of the other options out there.

As I go through this process and receive my aligners, I’ll update you! I’m also doing this with one of my good friends, so I’ll make sure I share both of our experiences with you. I can’t wait to show you my perfect smile!

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world.

Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.

I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend
