the Invisalign Journey Continues… So… I got an appointment! In addition to chipping a tooth it seems that since the beginning of this journey I broke one also (I remember; but am in denial). My visit with Dr. Gallagher indicated that my teeth have been moving in the right direction, but that I do indeed

On the Brink of Refinement… So, I did manage to get an appointment (they are so busy!) and their Invisalign assistant at the office scanned for my refinement aligners. Dr. Gallagher noted the changes/improvement in my dentition. Since I started this journey, I have broken a tooth, which has an impact on how my teeth

Time for Refinement… It has been a while since I have written anything about my journey – but I sure have been talking about it quite a bit. I have completed wearing my final set of aligners, #20, the last set of aligners provided to me from Gallagher and Kuhn Dental Group. I need to

My last appointment for an “Invisalign review” happened to occur on Invisalign Day at Gallagher & Kuhn Dental Office.

Ok, I have reached the point that I do not want to wear my aligners. Because, all I want to do is SMILE – I am about to open the Invisalign package for #11 so I am on the down-hill-side of this journey.  I really have been very happy.  I still have some uncomfortable sensations

Invisalign number nine has been fine! At the start of these aligners, I once again had some discomfort/sensation at tooth number 10. I shared this with Dr. Gallagher and said that I am particularly confused because this tooth is straight and seems to have nice relationships with its neighbors. He shared with me that all

As I predicted and hoped… #8 has been great! I am always a bit nervous when I begin a new tray since I know they will fit on my teeth, and therefore into my mouth a bit differently. So far, I haven’t experienced anything too drastic.  At the start of wearing #8 I was once
