Well its been a bit over 9 months since I began my ortho journey. My teeth were overly crowded and I was not an invisalign candidate up front, so my treatment program was to start in braces, have them removed 7 months later for my wedding. After the wedding the hope was that I would now be an invisalign candidate, else I would finish treatment in ceramic braces.

Well thankfully I was in fact a candidate after 7 months in regular braces.
