Why did you choose Smilelign for straightening your teeth?
I’d wanted to straighten my teeth for years but was really worried about how orthodontic treatment might affect my daily life. I wasn’t sure I wanted the commitment that comes with it.
Once I learned more about clear aligners, especially Smilelign, I felt more comfortable with the idea. I liked that Smilelign is a UK-based company and it seemed like the best option for my budget and lifestyle.
How did you feel about your teeth before starting Smilelign?
Before starting clear aligner treatment, I was very self-conscious about my smile. I have an open-bite and it’s been one of my biggest insecurities.
I would avoid smiling in photos and sometimes even talking to people as I was afraid of how people saw my teeth, which impacted my confidence in so many ways. It got to the point where I knew I needed to do something about it.
What was it like when you first started wearing your clear aligners?
At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. With Smilelign, you have the option to start off with pre-aligners, so you can make sure that clear aligners are right for you. They really helped ease me into the process and were surprisingly really comfortable. I was able to get used to wearing aligners before starting the active treatment.
When I switched to the active aligners, there was some tightness at first, but I knew that this was because they were working to move my teeth straight away! It wore off after a couple of days, and then they felt comfortable again.
Wearing clear aligners was a small adjustment when it came to eating. However, I got used to it pretty quickly, and it even helped me cut down on snacking!
How does the Smilelign app help with your treatment?
The Smilelign app has been great for keeping track of my progress. I can upload photos and compare before and after pictures, which really helps me stay motivated.
The app also sends reminders for when it’s time to move on to the next set of aligners and lets me track the shipment of my aligners from the lab.
It makes everything a lot easier, especially when coordinating with my dentist.
What are you looking forward to most as your treatment continues?
I’m really looking forward to feeling more confident about my smile. I can’t wait to take more photos with my family and talk to people without feeling self-conscious.
It’s exciting to see the progress so far, and I know the end result will certainly be worth it. Plus, I’m looking forward to having whitening treatment after my aligners!
What would you say to someone who’s considering Smilelign treatment?
If you’re unhappy with your teeth, I’d definitely recommend Smilelign.
It’s been such a positive experience for me—I’ve been smiling since I started! I’m really excited to see the rest of the changes my teeth will make.
