I have always wanted to straighten my teeth since I was a child. I endured being bullied many times for something I couldn't help. Getting braces was out of the question at the time because it was so expensive.
I had gotten so discouraged, and I was looking to get extractions and get a partial denture or get all of my top teeth removed. I went to the dentist, and they wouldn't give me extractions because they said that my teeth were healthy. This greatly angered me because I couldn't find any solution to my dental problems.
It was my dream to get braces in my twenties or thirties. I could never afford it; it was out of my budget. About 9 years ago, I started to see advertisements for clear dental aligners that you could do at home.
Every time I thought that I would be able to afford these dental aligners, something else would come where I would have to spend the money that I was saving.
In November 2021, I started to see advertisements for AlignerCo, and I made the decision that I would take advantage of the Black Friday sale that they had at the time.
I ordered the impression kit, and it took between 2 to 4 weeks to come. When it finally came, it was very hard for me to do the impressions, so I had to do a video call for someone to help me do the impressions.
I spent a lot of money, and sometimes they would send me new impression materials and trays for free. It was very frustrating because I asked for extra large trays and they kept sending me the smaller size. It took about 8 or 9 months to get a decent impression that was workable.
In this video, you can see how my teeth looked before I started the aligner trays.
When my AlignerCo aligners came, I wore them exactly as I was supposed to. There was some pain, but after two or three days, the pain was gone. I had to wear the trays for 10 days and then switch to a new one. You have to submit new photos of yourself wearing the new trays.
My treatment was thirteen trays, and when I got to the last tray, I noticed that my teeth didn't really change much. I was very angry.
I got in touch with AlignerCo, and they said that I needed refinements. At this point, I didn't want to pay any more money for this process. I was going to give up, but I had put so much money into AlignerCo, so I decided to get the refinements. As I am waiting to get my refinements, I had to wear my retainers.
I have noticed while I am wearing my retainers, my teeth are becoming a little bit straighter. In the first picture, you can see my smile changing a bit and it is some progress.
Right now, I am hopeful that the refinements will work. This process is not for everyone because I didn't feel like it was for me, but you will not find any process this affordable. Most companies will have you pay about $2000.00, and that is expensive for at-home dental treatment.
This dental journey was a difficult one but it is very convenient. If you are looking to straighten your teeth, consider AlignerCo. After my refinements are done, I will update you on my progress.
