This is post is long overdue. In fact, I started writing it over one month ago when I was at exactly the halfway point. This is also the halfway point to this ambassadorship with Invisalign. I have been provided with Insvisalign treatment in exchange for me sharing my experience with you.
I am not sure that I shared that before that I pretty close to not getting Invisalign because I thought that maybe I was too old for braces. (I am…ahem…39). “Why would I get braces?” is what I asked myself a couple of times. Then I decided that my teeth bother me enough that I should do something about it.
The Invisalign Impact (my term for it) has been good for me. By doing something like that for myself it opened the door for me to do more positive things for myself and my family.
My husband and I did a month of the #Whole30 program. We both lost over 20 pounds during that month and we are about to start another Whole 30 month. We have really changed our eating habits for the better and our kids are slowly joining. Even when we are not on Whole 30, we are making good choices 95% of the time.
I feel great in general. I have more energy and I am working on some hobbies which is something that I haven't given time for in a long time.
I brush AND floss twice daily. It's so clean in my mouth even my dentist gave me a compliment on my oral hygiene at my last checkup. Take that!
Invisalign did NOT make me lose weight but it did give me a little more confidence. My teeth look really good and I like that a lot. I still have a ways to go but I can tell that I will be even happier when I complete treatment.
Getting my Invisalign treatment happened at the perfect point in my life.

I have a feeling my little guy is going to need braces, so this is the route I would like to go with him if that is the case.
I think that two out of my three kids will need braces. My 10 year old will be getting them soon.
Good to know, I am sure one of my nieces or nephews will end up going that route at some point! Congrats on the healthier lifestyle overall. I am currently on the ‘flu diet’ – it comes with a 103 degree fever! 🙁
Thanks Tracy! I have been on the flu diet a few times. 🙂
I would like to have my teeth whitened to help boost my confidence. And I am slowly working to lose (a lot of) weight to help give me more self-confidence as well.
Losing weight has done wonders for my self confidence and as soon as I am finished with Invisalign, I am getting my teeth whitened.
Good for you! It’s so important to take care of Mom, it gives you more confidence.
Thanks Melissa! You are so right. As mothers, I think that we often forget to take care ourselves as well.
Good teeth really can help with confidence. I had horrible teeth as a child and was thankful enough to get braces. I still hate my teeth, so I get it. You can never be too old to make changes and make yourself look and feel better.
Thanks Aimee! I completely agree.
I have thought of getting Invisaligns. I really should look into it
Congrats on your good oral hygiene. It can be easy to slip with braces.
You are never too old to do something for yourself that makes you feel better about yourself. Congrats on the halfway point. 🙂
I could really use some Invisalign braces! I would love to have a perfect smile!
So far 2/5 of my kids need braces, and my daughter wont stop nagging for invisalign.
Invisalign is one of the newest teeth straightening alternatives available in the marketplace to help people in making minor and major teeth corrections. The most important benefit of Invisalign is that, these braces are invisible and can be easily removed for the purpose of brushing, flossing and eating.
We did a whole 30 last year, It really is life changing! Congratulations on your new found confidence!
My teen just got her metal braces off and that was 2 years of suffering. I swore, we lived at the dentist between snapped brackets and rubber band replacements. I am really considering Invisalign when my youngest has to get them.
I needed braces as a kid but my mom couldn’t afford them, it was right when she got sick and had to quit working. I should look into these and see what I can do!
I had the regular kind of braces when i was a teenager. I would have loved to use Invisalign instead. I have heard a lot of great things from friends that have used them.
I have been so amazed at how well these work, never in a million years would I have thought how easily these would work. My Mom had them and here I thought her teeth were perfectly straight, but WOAH what a difference after she used this. I am glad you are able to take part in this and share your experiences, because I firmly believe invisalign does work.
This sounds great.Wish they had this when my kids were younger
Although I had braces when I was younger. But I thinking a freshening up could be order since a few of my teeth have moved since then.
I’m glad it’s working for you. I bet you’ll love the finished results!
I would love to do Invisalign but I’m not a good candidate for it. I will however be getting braces soon. I agree with you. Once you do one thing to make you feel better, the others soon follow along. 🙂
I REALLY want to try these. I had braces when I was younger but didn’t wear my retainer (I know, I know). So now I have a small gap. I’m SO self conscious about it! I will give them a call!
You are so lucky to get to do this, and no 39 isnt too old if it makes you feel better! Congrats on that weight loss, I bet you are feeling like a million bucks. Its nice too when hubby joins in it also makes things easier.
I lacked dental care as a child because my parents couldn’t afford it. Now, I have crooked teeth. I’ll be 40 this year and its always been a dream of mine to have straight teeth. Thank you for sharing your progress with Invisilign.
I has no idea you were using Invisalign while I was there! I would totally try Invisalign treatments!
Thanks Amy! That is one of the things that I really love about Invisalign. It really is hard to tell when you have them on.
I love reading about your progress. How awesome that Invisalign has given you the confidence to reach other goals!
Just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks right? It’s never too late to make an impact on your life.
So let me tell you, I have always wanted to close my front teeth gap. I know people are like but that is what makes me “me” but I would really like to close it and have a better smile. I would love to consider Invisalign as one of my options I have heard great reviews please show pics of your process too please!
I loved Invisalign and saw great results. I would however suggest looking into orthodontists and find the right one.
Great post. I have one child who will likely be needing these in the future.
Stacie, similar to what you said, I feel like I am too old to have braces. Unfortunately, my teeth are not as straight as I would like them to be. It is good to know that invisalign is a good option for people to want to straighten their teeth but don’t want to get braces. I will have to look into getting them!
