New Smile...

Way back in the 90's I had traditional braces.  After getting them removed I wore my retainers until I lost them.  My teeth shifted a lot. I thought a lot about getting braces again but could not bring myself to do it.   I knew a lot about invisalign but didn't think  I could afford it.  I recently started seeing ads for Smile Direct Club but there wasn't an office near me.  I saw a groupon for the scans and purchased it. There are two options for paying. You can pay the total amount at one time, about 1800 or you can out a small amount down and pay monthly. The groupon made the scans free and took a little bit off the total cost and the monthly payment.  I found out then that they opened an office in King of Prussia.   Making an appointment was super easy.  Getting in the building was a little bit more difficult.  They only send staff down when there are appointments.  The staff was super friendly. The used a machine to scan your teeth. None of that nasty plaster in your mouth.  A few weeks later I got an email that my scans were ready.   The scans showed what my teeth would look like after 6 months of wearing the aligners.   I put my down payment down and set up my payment plan.  My aligners arrived about 2 weeks later.  They send you all the aligners at one time.  When you register your box they set up reminders for switching.    I started on 8/1/2018 so I should be finished in Feb 2019.  I will post here from time to time to keep track of my results. If you get started with my link you can save 50% on the at-home kit. In select markets you may be eligible for a free scan and whitening session.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Why Car Seats Don't Work in RVs

Hitting the Road with Kids: Why Car Seats Don't Work in RVs by Lee Grace Gunter      May 26, 2024 The open road, the wind in your hair, and family adventures – that's the dream of many who consider RV travel. But for families with young children, there's a crucial safety factor to consider: car seats . Unlike traditional cars, RVs pose a unique challenge for child passenger safety. Here's why car seats aren't recommended in RVs, and some alternative solutions to keep your little ones safe on your RV trip. The Problem with Car Seats in RVs Car seats are designed for the specific structure of a car. They rely on anchor points and specific belt configurations to ensure optimal protection in a crash. Unfortunately, most RV seating areas just aren't built the same way.                                                             ...

My new Smile part 2

In August I posted that I purchased a Smile Direct Club kit. I finished my six months of aligners on January 31st.  I am extremely happy with the result.  I mostly wore them every day except when I was eating or working out.  The aligners are hard to work out and run in.  At the end of the 6 months they have you buy retainers that you can only wear at night. They should be replaced every 6 months and worn probably forever. Let me know if you have any questions or would like a referral code.  Final Result Day 1
