With summers this warm, you can’t help but wear light fabrics, a big ole wide brim hat, and smile through the sunny afternoons. Warm weather has a way of making me walk a little slower, relax a little longer, and smile a little bigger.\u00a0\u00a0I’m so glad I started my Invisalign treatment<\/a> back in the spring, my smile is getting better as each balmy Miami day passes by.<\/p>\n

Like I said when I first began this journey, a lot of my blog photos were taken with me smizing (i.e. resting b*tch face<\/em>) rather than giving a big toothy grin. As my treatment has progressed, I’m less caught up about “Is the light hitting my teeth at a funny angle?<\/em>” or “Do my teeth look crooked?”<\/em>\u00a0I’ve been able to be myself, laugh, and love every candid photo and moment. It’s amazing how much your smile can impact your personality.

My teeth aren’t perfect (yet), but I know they are getting there. I’m so excited for the progress that as already happened, and I know that there’s a straight, beautiful smile<\/a> waiting for me at the end of treatment. Sure, there are some adjustments, and I have to run to the bathroom or a private space to take out the trays when I want to eat, but it becomes a seamless part of daily life. I got attachments on about 8 of my teeth – including the front 6 – which I was nervous about, but I have to look very closely to even see them. And, I haven’t needed to use gummy wax or anything. Thanks to Dr. Yazji<\/a> and her team, it’s been a very seamless and easy process!<\/p>\n

Of course, I still do a smize from time to time, *guilty.* Old habits die a little\u00a0slowly\u00a0I guess. Thanks for sharing in my Invisalign journey with me! If you have any questions, you can always leave me a comment or send me a message. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
