For a long time, I really didn't like myself in pictures. In fact, you could say that I hated being in pictures. I was much happier behind the camera (phone) capturing the moments that my family was in until one day I realized I wasn't in any of the pictures. Not a single one.
So back to my smile. I had braces in my early 20's and then I kind of quit wearing my retainers after a couple of years. The teeth on the bottom row spread out creating a few spaces. The teeth on the top row seemed to get closer together. I needed Invisalign. I really needed it to boost my confidence.
I made a promise to myself that when I started Invisalign, I would also work to transition my entire family to healthier eating habits. I wanted us to become healthier as a family. My husband was 100% on board so we got to work. The two of us started with the Whole 30 and then really changed all of our eating habits. Our kids are still a work in program.
I spent about a year and half in treatment and I absolutely LOVE my smile now. It all definitely starts with a smile. How would you like to win a smile makeover grant from Invisalign? Watch the video below.

I wish Invisalign had been around when I was in high school. Braces were the kiss of death! I love this!
Even though I had braces as a child, I can see crowding returning in my lower teeth. I love that I’ll have this option if I need intervention as an adult. Great update Stacie!
It is amazing the difference Invisalign can make!! I love seeing before and afters you can just see the change in confidence!
Your smile looks amazing. I have heard such good things about Invisalign.
I would love to win an Invisalign smile. I have a huge gap and crooked teeth that I would feel more confident with if they were fixed.
It truly is a huge difference Invisalign makes. Great post. It help to see others, because it gives us the confidence try it. I really want to get my smile fixed this year.
Awesome! You look beautiful!
I’ve heard wonderful things about Invisalign. A friend of mine did this over the course of the last year or so. Our 2 oldest just had spacers and it worked well for correcting cross bites but they may still need other corrections – I wonder if this is an option if they do?
I have heard wonderful things about them and the grant is awesome!
You look GREAT! Ive heard so many great things about invisalign!
You have a beautiful smile. I never needed braces, but it is good to know just in case my kids end up needing them.
This is great! I don’t like my smile either due to my teeth. This is great they are having a contest.
I finished my Invisalign treatment last year and could not be happier with my results!! I’m glad you love yours too!!
I was lucky enough to be the only kid in my family who didn’t need braces. I have a feeling my daughter will need them and would prefer her to get this to help her feel more comfortable.
It’s so precious to have that confident smile like yours! Invisalign’s a great alternative to traditional braces.
I have a few friends that have had Invisalign and had great results. It’s a great alternative to traditional braces.
One of my friends recently found out that he would need braces as an adult so he opted for Invisalign. You can hardly even tell that he has them.
My son is getting Invisalign and I am so excited for him. He has been avoiding braces for years and this was a welcome alternative.
Invisalign is such a great option for braces these days. My mom is even getting them soon. It makes braces a much more enjoyable process.
You have a beautiful smile! I’ve heard great things about Invisalign. I’d love to try
