00:05Hi guys so I've ducked down here to Hope Island and I'm gonna go into Proud
00:11Smile so this is a little bit of an unplanned visit I guess you could say
00:17but um and it's on the back of my very recent checkup that I had at Pacific
00:21Fair but the reason I've come here is I really I really would like a scan and I
00:27really sort of did kind of want to scan at my last appointment as well and I
00:31know the plan was then that I would have a scan at week 13 but I and the trays so
00:39I'm wearing week 12 trays of my 13 week plan and the 13 week plan was after a
00:47revision that I had so my original plan was the 19 week plan if you've been
00:52following this journey so um in the dental office the week 12 try seem to
00:58fit okay like when the lady put them in and but when I got home I did really
01:03struggle with them and to get them back in after I've taken them out was really
01:08really hard and it's this bit on my top left that the trays just don't seem to be
01:13fitting well at all and after a lot of struggle I got them in but then I
01:19realized that I they're not basically pushing my teeth wide enough so I walked
01:24the scaffolding on the inside immediately and I wasn't happy with that because
01:30basically as soon as I walk the scaffolding on the inside for the rest of
01:35the week or two weeks that I wear the trays the teeth here are not getting that
01:40pressure that they need to expand basically and expansion was always my
01:45issue when I first started this Invisalign journey and so the fact that I've been
01:52warping and this has been happening the last couple of trades as well so I have
01:57had the sense that maybe my teeth haven't been again tracking quite as
02:03quickly as the AI had predicted even though I am wearing the trays for up to
02:08two weeks instead of one week and um that's been particularly the case on the
02:12top with these inner teeth here I'm constantly warping the wall that's meant
02:17to be pushing the teeth aside so I thought look I'm wearing week 12 trays of
02:24the new 13 week plan if I'm gonna have one more adjustment I'd rather sort of get
02:28the scan now and have a look at my teeth have a really good look at my teeth see
02:32how they're tracking and see if also we could adjust because I wouldn't mind my
02:37bite at the front to come a little bit closer as well so I I did like I did ring
02:43up and they kindly did agree to do a scan so I'm here for the scan we'll see
02:47what's happening with my teeth and whether or not I do need an adjustment or
02:51not but I'm sort of getting the sense that I wouldn't mind one just because I've
02:56invested so much time and effort into this Invisalign plan that I think you know
03:01if I'm gonna have one more adjustment at the end just to sort of get to an end
03:05result that hopefully will be as good a potential as my teeth can reach then
03:10that would just be a really good result
03:18ah just in relaxing on their beautiful chairs I have to give it a proud smile
03:23they actually really do have comfortable chairs in their waiting area which
03:27probably makes you feel better about the fact that you're probably seeing a
03:31dentist or in my case I'm getting a scan today
03:36I was originally on the 19 week plan and at about week 10 I had a revision so my new
03:42plan is now the 13 week plan
03:44yes and um I'm now wearing the 12 week 12 of that 13 week plan
03:50okay and I did have an appointment just this last weekend and the trays did seem to fit
03:55fine in the office but the last couple of trays when I put them in it's on the
04:00inside here their teeth here I walk down them I fight down them so they're losing
04:07almost immediately and this happened on the weekend almost as soon as I got home
04:11when I took them out to eat something put them back in couldn't get them in
04:14properly beat down on the inside walls lost that scaffolding and I do remember the
04:20last time when I had a revision the new trays that came was so good yeah and the
04:25last couple of trays I felt more and more problematic yeah and so I'm feeling that I'm
04:32not quite keeping up with them yeah and so every time I advance it's getting a
04:36little bit harder and harder and yes yeah and when I bite down and I lose that
04:40wall and it's probably getting worse and worse so all right it's no problem we can
04:45make a scan yeah because you have only two trays for this set to go well that's what I
04:52wanted it now rather than waiting to work like this when you think when you notice is not
04:58going 100% well why wait until the end of it so we can do it thank you and I
05:07think my plan does involve
05:09include those unlimited revisions and I have had one already I do know that but yes I guess
05:15unlimited revision for your plan and I think because I've invested so much in them now and I just want
05:21to
05:21hopefully get them yeah you know and even if this spike here could close a little bit more that we'll
05:27see anyway but but I'm nearly at the end so I thought and but by the way I like I'm
05:33not complaining my teeth
05:34hands down have improved like a million times that's good but they're really straightening yeah so don't
05:43worry I am happy yeah but I just want to reach their full potential I understand you don't want waste
05:49time
05:50I don't want to stop and think yeah maybe that could have been just a bit better because they
05:54really are fantastic like I think I'm chewing better now and and yeah you can 100% you can tell
06:00all right now these are a little bit gunky because I've got tooth mousse in there so don't worry no
06:05problem
06:05I'm gonna give you this and I'm gonna ask you to remove that one if we have some tooth mousse
06:12I'm gonna
06:13give you to have a rinse because it can interfere with this can't oh sure okay and do you have
06:19all those
06:20disposable gloves I just use a disposable glove for grip oh right yeah that's my hack like is that I
06:27learned that
06:27early on actually like you just yeah this gives us a grip and some people have commented on um on
06:34the
06:35this line journey to say that a tissue or a bit of paper towel yeah it shouldn't be any drilling
06:44today
06:44no not really it's just a skin
06:51are you able to remove that one yes my hat you made yes yes okay okay that's better yeah it's
06:59just for
07:05it's just for the last one yeah so one change I noticed is that I can now bite down on
07:23my lip again
07:33it's just this because it's still in stable in the back but it's coming
07:42just needs
07:49there's a little bit of cheeker here when I bite down on this yeah yeah it's getting a little bit
07:55more
07:56expansion it is the expansion is definitely like the expansion is definitely um getting wider and
08:04the teeth are definitely getting straighter but yes it's just great it's slow
08:18it's like this it's a slow movement yeah it's you have a huge movement in once doesn't fit
08:40it's okay all right let's do it the model now is increase the line thank you very much for the
08:51two
08:51for seeing this day
08:56no i've been very happy with proud smile i really love it and it's actually did have a little hole
09:02filled um a couple of weeks ago with um the new um dentist at pacific fair oh yeah yeah
09:17i'm just gonna do it now
09:22so
09:23so
09:41I just need to move a little bit.
09:44I just need to move a little bit.
10:39I just need to move.
10:44I just need to move.
11:17I just need to move a little bit.
11:20Okay, thank you.
11:22I just need to move.
11:54I just need to move.
12:16I just need to move.
12:44I just need to move.
13:14I just need to move.
13:17I just need to move.
13:45I just need to move.
14:16I just need to move.
14:40I just need to move.
14:56I think he is working a little bit more with your bite because they are straight.
15:07I just need to move.
16:04I just need to move.
16:34I just need to move.
17:04I just need to move.
17:34I just need to move.
17:37I need to move.
17:39I need to move.
17:41I need to move.
17:48I need to move.
18:12I need to move.
18:18I need to move.
18:20I need to move.
18:25I need to move.
18:30I need to move.
18:32I need to move.
18:33move.
18:47I need to move.
18:57move my front teeth rather than constantly grinding in the back I mean it's improved a lot
19:02the bite has closed down a lot oh yeah but there's still quite a bit of a gap look how
19:09yellow those
19:10teeth are in the end you can do something something here or something like this I'm gonna
19:17here can you bite down from it bite down your back teeth no bite down
19:26bite down
19:44keep biting
19:49bite out bite
19:52I prefer it to enter after you bite and make sure it's right, okay?
20:06There's a bit of cheek that I'm catching a little bit on the right here.
20:11It's normal because it's not fully expanded yet.
20:16Let's see if it's okay. We have some holes, but because you have space between your teeth.
20:25Yes, and I did have the interproximal reduction a little bit to try and get them to close them a
20:31little bit more.
20:31Maybe you're going to have a little bit more.
20:34Yeah.
20:39But yeah, I did have a clean already once during the image line journey and I was thinking of just
20:46waiting to the end now and getting another clean.
20:48What do you think?
20:49You can have, it's nothing that can...
20:54Because what I noticed here, do you know that yellowish?
20:58Yeah.
20:59Probably is because you're doing some rinse with Coraxidine.
21:05I am doing rinses, so I...
21:07Which product do you use?
21:09I use Klossy's rinse at the beginning, then I brush with Crest toothpaste, then I rinse with Listerine, just briefly,
21:18and then a Fluoride rinse.
21:20Yeah, we have to check because Listerine is not...
21:25should not contain Chlorexidine, and this is pretty similar with the rinsing when you're using Chlorexidine.
21:37What about the Fluoride rinse, does that have it, or Colossy's?
21:42Fluoride depends on the Fluoride.
21:45It act, act Fluoride rinse.
21:47Yeah.
21:48Act anti-cavity.
21:50No, Fluoride doesn't give this Chlorexidine.
21:53Oh, right.
21:54You have to check if you have Chlorexidine in all of them.
21:59Okay.
21:59I'll check.
21:59I'll check.
22:00Yeah, because this is...
22:01Yeah.
22:02We have the most common is Salvocole.
22:06Salvocole has Chlorexidine.
22:09We don't recommend to use more than two weeks.
22:13Right.
22:13And because we stay with the trays 24-7.
22:17Yeah.
22:17And keeping that things there can stain a little bit more.
22:21Yeah.
22:22Okay.
22:23Yeah.
22:24But with cleaning, like after I finish the whole journey cleaning and...
22:28Yes.
22:28This all can be removed.
22:31Removed, yeah.
22:31In the end of the...
22:33Your treatment.
22:34Or even with the cleaning if you like something before.
22:37That's good.
22:37Okay.
22:39Oh, look, that's been so...
22:41No worries.
22:42My pleasure.
22:43I'm really glad I got that sort of saying today anyway because, yeah, like I did not want to leave
22:47it right to the end and I thought, you know...
22:50Yeah.
22:50Yeah.
22:52Oh, see there's one answer...
22:54Because you need anyway the revision.
22:56Okay.
22:56Do you think I do?
22:57I do think I do.
22:58I think we have things to improve.
23:00I do as well.
23:01I was sort of getting that sense that if this is my second last tray, I'm not sure if we
23:06were going to be all finished.
23:08I don't think we need more for sure.
23:11Okay?
23:11To close your bite.
23:13The straightness is pretty good.
23:15It is.
23:16It's just a touch.
23:18But your bite needs more.
23:20And I'm pretty happy to do your scan and ask him to do your meal.
23:25We're getting there though, aren't we?
23:26Yes, for sure.
23:27Yeah, they're straightened on a lot.
23:28You're doing very well.
23:29Yeah, I'm really, really pleased.
23:31And please say thank you to Dr. Malone.
23:33Oh, I will.
23:33And to have a nice trip.
23:35Okay.
23:36He's coming in the second week of July.
23:39Okay.
23:40Oh, that's good.
23:41Yeah.
23:41All right.
23:42Nice to see you again.
23:43Nice to see you again too in my bag.
23:46Oh, there it is.
23:47Yeah.
23:47All right.
23:48But yeah, really nice to see you.
23:49Thank you for your time.
23:52Well, that was so nice to come in and get that scan.
23:55Every time I come in to CrowdSmile, I really appreciate the care and the attention that
24:00they have given to this journey.
24:02And as you can see on the scan and I can see in the mirror and I can feel as
24:07well when
24:07I chew, my teeth are like tons greater.
24:11But I do still have that sense that maybe a little bit more improvement can still be had.
24:16But look, we're getting there.
24:18I'm really nearly at the end of the journey.
24:20And they'll send those scan results off now and see what Dr. Irwin and Invisalise says
24:26about it and whether or not I do get that final revision and how many weeks it will be.
24:30But I'm feeling really positive.
24:32We are nearly there and the journey does continue but probably not so much longer.
24:37I'll see you next time.
24:40Bye.
24:40Bye.
24:42Bye.
