After my inspiring assessment with Dr. Erwin at Proud Smile in Pacific Fair, I could hardly wait for this follow-up—and it delivered in spades. Today, I received the full breakdown of my personalized Invisalign plan to address my complex malocclusion. Dr. Erwin unveiled stunning computer simulations illustrating how the aligners will expand my narrow arches, align my crowded teeth, and perfect my bite. The plan? A moderate track with roughly 19 weeks of aligners, though he was upfront: real-life biology could extend it beyond the AI's optimistic timeline.
The best part: unlimited refinements allow for extra aligners if required, guaranteeing optimal results. He detailed the essentials, including subtle tooth-colored attachments—tiny composite resin buttons bonded to select teeth for better aligner traction and movement control. They're temporary and easily removed once done. His key advice: commit to 22 hours of daily wear, removing them only for meals and brushing to maintain momentum.
Fascinating fact: as teeth realign, surrounding bone reshapes to accommodate, and even palatal soft tissue evolves in sync—it's a full-mouth symphony of change. I'm ecstatic to launch this transformation with Proud Smile's exceptional care. Next: collecting my initial aligners and mastering the routine.
