My expensive teeth!

For those of you who knew me in junior high and high school you probably always remember me having braces. I had them on and off for 13 years (i had a lot of issues!). The summer after I graduated I finally got them off and I swore I would never step foot back in the orthodontist office again. Let's just say I still have nightmares to this day =P. I had a retainer that I was supposed to wear at night and it broke a few years later. I figured my teeth had set by this point so I didn't think it was a big deal. Over the next few years my teeth kept shifting and now they are pretty crooked in some spots which always bothers me. Especially my front two teeth. So I finally decided to go see an orthodontist and see if there was anything that could be done to fix it or atleast stop the shifting. I decided to go ahead and get braces again but I went with Invisalign the "invisible" braces. I got to pick up my first trays today. I have 18 trays in all (they get changed every two weeks). I can take them off to eat and brush my teeth. So far they are not too bad. My teeth are just a little sore. It should take about 9 months all together. When I am done I will be getting them whitened. I am ready for my smile makeover! Lets just say this is my birthday present for the next 10 years =) Here are a few pictures of me wearing the trays. They really are very hard to see and I am talking pretty well with them.

These are with the trays in! can you believe how clear they are??
