00:00So my dental journey just goes on and on and on. Welcome to another episode of it.
00:07So I was really hoping that Smile Outlet would be the final stop in trying to find some place to fix this malocclusion that I've got going on.
00:16But unfortunately they sent me the email about six days after seeing me and said that they only do mild to moderate cases and my case was too comprehensive.
00:25So I came to Pacific Fair last week and just happened to see Proud Smile.
00:31And I just walked in there and I asked them about, you know, do they treat malocclusion?
00:36And yes, of course, sure enough, they do. And their price points may be a little bit more friendly when it comes to the Invisalign.
00:42So I've come here today for an appointment and I've just had PRP, which explains my bright red tomato face.
00:55Oh, that is just really cool. What is your favourite TV show or movie on Netflix? We can play it for you while you receive treatment.
01:13It's been quite a journey. I, um, oh yes. So I, I was told to, or referred to go to Smile Outlet.
01:31Well actually that's not the first place I went to. I went to Clear Smiles first. I was referred there.
01:36Yes, yes. And the, I cried. Why? The, um, the, the price was so much. Oh, okay.
01:44And it was really expensive. Okay. And, um, so then, um, Hubby suggested, because he takes our daughter to Teethon Ferry.
01:52Yes. Dr. David Hill. Yes. He was awesome. He referred me to, um, Smile Outlet because, yeah, you probably know Smile Outlet.
01:59They don't, they didn't take me on because apparently they only take mild to moderate cases.
02:06Okay. And they said mine was a bit too comprehensive for them. Okay.
02:10So then I did not know where to go. Okay. And believe it or not, I was here at Pacific Fair last week to see a doctor at the clinic next door.
02:18Yeah. And I just saw Proud Smile and I just walked in. Yeah. And I just asked to make an appointment and so that's why I'm here.
02:28Oh, that's perfect. So, I'm really hoping. That works out. But, yeah, that you can take me on.
02:34Yeah, of course. Like, you don't think I'm going to be too, um, yeah. Well, let's have a look. We'll see what's going on.
02:40Smile Outlet sent my x-rays here too. Yes, we did receive that.
02:45Because I've been very irradiated lately, so I'm not keen, unless it's a definite goer, because you probably do want it, but if it's...
02:53Yes, yes. I'm not keen for more irradiation because I've had a CT recently and I've had quite a few of those dentals.
03:00Of course, yeah. So, hopefully.
03:02What specifically is it that you wanted to fix?
03:05Oh, look, what, what, what, what isn't there to fix?
03:08Um, I want to be able to chew properly, basically, because at the moment when I'm chewing, I'm mainly putting the weight on these things.
03:14Probably four, two, two up here, probably eight teeth at the back here, and that's pretty much...
03:20Oh, and I've had PRP, so that's why my face is all red.
03:23Oh, okay.
03:24But, yeah, I've been chewing more on the back just here, right here, because I've got that, it doesn't close up properly.
03:30So, my goal, to be 100% honest, isn't a perfect smile, it's health. I really want to be able to chew my food more effectively.
03:39Yes.
03:40So, obviously, that's got health benefits, of course.
03:43Of course. Yeah.
03:44And, um, my teeth are really stained from green tea as well.
03:48That's okay. That's an easy fix. It's very clean.
03:51Is it? You can fix that?
03:53Yeah, just a bit clean and some whitening, that's an easy fix.
03:55Oh, beauty. Oh, thank you. And I went to see a dentist only...
03:59Well, this all started only a few weeks ago, and at that point, they said there's nothing drastic there, so that's hopefully good.
04:08But I do have a lot of feelings. You'll see that.
04:10Let's have a look here for you.
04:13I've got my leg back.
04:14I'm always nervous with it.
04:16That's okay. Nothing to be nervous about, and you've seen everything.
04:26Okay, there you go.
04:28I was so impressed on your form. It says that you can choose your own Netflix show that you can...
04:33Yes.
04:34Yeah, that was cool.
04:35So you can sew it out while you were working?
04:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:38Do you want my headphones, please?
04:39Yes, please.
04:40Yeah.
04:41Yes, I have PRP.
04:43I don't know if you've heard of that, but that's the platelet-rich plasma treatment.
04:47I've heard of it.
04:48Yeah, so I just had it on my skin with a dopapen.
04:51A doctor did it next door, so...
04:53And that's going well?
04:55Yeah. Well, I think it's a good treatment.
04:57It's made to help waste collagen production.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Oh, really?
05:02Yeah, yeah.
05:03Alright, let's have a look here.
05:05Yeah.
05:06Let's try.
05:07Let's set you up.
05:08Yeah.
05:09Yeah.
05:10Yeah.
05:11Yeah.
05:12Yeah.
05:13Alright.
05:14Alright, lets set you up.
05:20so let's sit you up now we can definitely do invisalign for you sorry oh that's good you can't
05:41yes now um it is a bit of a complicated case there but it's very manageable okay um i do feel more
05:51comfortable referring you to our principal dentist okay he does design as well okay and he's more
05:58experienced than me okay so uh i'll just refer you over to him and then he'll take you on in terms of
06:04which um package you fall under you're well aware about invisalign how it works yeah different price
06:12points exactly so you are between moderate and comprehensive uh i can give you a rough estimate
06:21as well so moderate is about 6 500 and uh comprehensive is i want to say 7 500 yeah
06:29okay in that range okay they do come with some benefits so uh i know that moderate has up to
06:37two years of refinements well all right okay comprehensive has up to five years from memory
06:43okay you just need to double check on that oh right what does that mean um ongoing treatment so
06:48refinement exactly so you just scan photos and see if we need to get any more aligners okay yeah yeah
06:54just to correct a few things and it's part of the package so there's no extra costs to that stuff
06:59um but yeah initially what we need to do is just take some scans and photos of your feet
07:04yeah and uh put it into the infusional software and see which package you do for but it is manageable
07:10only all i can see we do have a bit of crossbites yeah uh our fight is off there yeah uh we do need to
07:18widen the arch a little bit yeah i've been told that yeah yeah so yeah that's all things that can be
07:25managed definitely oh thank you how does your principal dentist all the work here he works here bundle
07:32and in our co-binary practice so which i really guys prefer oh i wonder if hope island would be the
07:38what what's closest to surface paradise because of course bundles it's just across the bridge yeah
07:46yeah oh great yeah so we could definitely get that organized for you if you like oh thank you so
07:51much yeah well i appreciate it no i appreciate that so i might have found my spot yes proud smile
07:58i appreciate it it was long to be meeting you thank you so much i'll walk you out we'll get that
08:02organized okay sure do you have any more questions for me i do oh sorry what uh well no just what are the
08:08health benefits for getting this this this thing this line yeah like getting it's malocclusion isn't
08:14it it is malocclusion yes that's correct yeah uh look definitely it's more about um the quality of life
08:21there so how you eat and because right now when you do bite you do have an open bite in the front there
08:28so you're not having a proper um occlusion there for you to eat normally
08:34oh is that what's called malocclusion it's incorrect occlusion yeah so occlusion means closing the gap
08:41or closing your teeth yeah occlusion means your bite i didn't yeah but that makes sense yes quality
08:47of life thank you for saying that that's actually exactly what i'm after right now that's perfect thank
08:52you i'm happy to help well that is fantastic i'm so happy about that i think i found my spot thank you for
09:00thank you thank you oh they were just so awesome i've already got a smile on my face i don't know if
09:14it's a proud smile no i'm not advertising for them i'm just oh that was so nice to come here basically
09:21they were wonderful the dentist was awesome and yes i am going to go then and see the principal
09:28dentist who's got a bit more experience like you heard um the other dentist say um for my case but
09:34but look there's no problems about taking me on um i i think the price point's going to be
09:40reasonable some well it's still a lot of money but it could be something that we can just manage and
09:47yeah like that which is really nice and there's a lot of variability there's a clinic in um hope island
09:53that sounds like um it's good and they're also open some saturdays as well so that's going to make
09:58it at times easier to juggle with spencer and um you know obviously when hubby's home from work but
10:04i am really excited i i really do think that now i've found where i'm going to come and um yeah so next
10:11stop will be i think just um meeting dr erwin and getting getting the program started for a straight
10:19straightest straighter teeth a better smile and fixing that mouth occlusion
