Invisalign–my before video and why I even think I need it…

Hello! I got Invisalign today! This is kind of random, but I want to share the process with you from day 1. I made a quick video to share my “before” so you can see how I talk right after getting it. Let me know if you have any questions on it.

I also want to share why I got Invisalign. (This is NOT a sponsored post. Just saying because I’m using the brand’s name a lot.)

I have been thinking about it for about a year.  At my 6 month dental check-up last month I asked about it again and decided to just go for it. I debated it for a while because it doesn’t really look like I need it.

– I had braces in high school. So my teeth look pretty straight.

– When I mentioned it to a few friends they said it doesn’t really look like I need it.

– BUT on camera/video my bottom teeth look crooked. No, it’s not the end of the world but something that I noticed a while ago.

My bottom teeth just aren’t the same height so they look crooked on video. Last year I asked the dentist if they could just file them down so they’re the same height. Um, apparently that’s not a thing. I guess I made it up. HA! Classic Monican.

The dentist said Invisalign could help re-align my bottom teeth in a straight line and this would get them to be the same height.

I didn’t do it last year, but kept it in the back of my brain movies for a while. Since I’ve been doing more videos lately I’ve noticed it more (check out my YouTube Channel).

I realize that my bottom teeth look crooked but this wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t open my mouth so much when I talk. I’m very enthusiastic so talking loud and big and making crazy hand gestures… that’s just what I do. I don’t want to change how I talk OR be self conscious about it. Being very animated is a part of your Monican. So I could just fix my bottom teeth since that’s just a physical thing and keeping being me.

All right. Count me in. (Check out the video where I explain this and you can see it a little too.)

How I talk just 10 minutes after putting them on for the first time and how I justified this kinda superficial purchase.

In non-teeth news…

This morning I saw a weird duster tree on my run…

AND I spotted a unicorn at the 99 cent store! Note that it’s $3.99. Damn The 99 is hiking their prices!

I don’t even remember what I had for breakfast, probably the same thing as always. But I did snap a picture of the same lunch as always. Impressive food blogging, right? It’s predictable but it’s what I like…

Oh! And Pineapple Coconut Spark is back while supplies last!!

Last time it was sold out in 48 hours. I missed it the last time and luckily was able to score some from SkinnyRunner. I should probably buy extra to share…

Question: Did you have braces?

Have you done Invisalign?

  1. What an extremely informative blog on the processes of Invisalign treatment! It's so funny that you asked about filing your teeth down as if that was a normal thing, I, too, asked my dentist if that was an option for a few of my lowers - I guess you never know until you ask!
