What to Know Before Getting Invisalign / 3M Clarity / Clear Aligner Braces

[@gingersnaplife6664]

I’ve got 3m aligners and they are great 👍🏻

[@ErinBooth]

That’s awesome, so great to hear! I should get mine any day now. how far along in your journey are you?

[@Kelly-ik6gh]

This was a super informative video, and I agree with everything you shared!!! I, too, am getting ready to begin my 3M Clarity journey. Finding reviews has been a real struggle, so I will be following along to hear how your experience goes. My aligners should arrive late April/early May.👏💕

[@ErinBooth]

That's so exciting! I felt the same way re reviews (especially BEFORE the trays arrive). I was really unprepared for the size of the digital scanner... Ls stay in touch! My trays are due just before Easter 🤞

@@ErinBooth Yes! Let's do! I've spent the last 4 months preparing my teeth (restorative), researching, and going to multiple consultations, so I'm beyond ready to get started!🤣

[@Kelly-ik6gh]

@@ErinBooth My aligners have officially been ordered.🎉 I can't wait to hear your next update!💕

[@ErinBooth]

@@Kelly-ik6gh So excited for you!! I get mine on Thursday! I think I'm getting the little attachment dots then too. I will keep you posted!

@@Kelly-ik6gh Ok...24 hours in and my teeth ITCH. I didn't know that was a possibility! Here are my first thoughts. I have more to share (like how my ortho said to brush my trays with hand soap! I was shocked). kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4vCkH2Xp993ptk&lc=Ugx6gzdkjCt11qApBeJ4AaABAg

I have 3m clarity aligners and now on week 27/30. It’s very well worth it. Buy a denture cleaning case at Walgreens, chewies off Amazon (they won’t give you enough) and waterless tooth brushes for when you’re in the go. Other than that it’s been a great experience. I get my rescan on week 30 to find out the next step. 😁

[@ErinBooth]

Oh this is awesome, thank you! Did you use a denture cleaner instead of regular tray brushing? And what are the chewies for>

[@fafadfasfa]

@@ErinBooth Yes. Retainer cleaner off Amazon works great as well. I do not need to brush them since I do this daily. The chewies to push down the aligners more into place. I also have elastics with my treatment for an overbite.

Are ceramic braces better?

[@ErinBooth]

Who knows! I loved my clear aligners, I finished my treatment early (9 months total, vs 15 months I was initially quoted).

[@christopherkikel2887]

What happened to your continued videos?

[@ErinBooth]

I got too busy 😜 but I loved my trays. I wore them nearly 24/7 and finished in 9 months (as opposed to the 15 months estimate).

[@christopherkikel2887]

@@ErinBooth Good for you and interesting. I just started but was told to only change them every 2 weeks. How did you finish so early?

[@wanderlusttinyhousechick7192]

@@ErinBooth would like to see before and after pics please

[@ErinBooth]

@@wanderlusttinyhousechick7192 Look at my newest VA videos - my teeth came out great!

[@xbrightchaosx]

Did you have to get any of your teeth shaved?

[@ErinBooth]

I did not!
