It&#8217;s subconscious, I have to remind myself that I already have a few. As of recent, another signature for me is a smile. I used a smile a LOT, probably an obnoxious amount really, and recently started again as I have been progressing through my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orthodonticsinmiami.com\/Services\/Weston-Invisalign\/8050\" target=\"_blank\">Invisalign treatment<\/a>. I&#8217;ve been wearing the trays now since May, and it&#8217;s amazing how much my teeth have moved in such a short period of time. Really, I have this amazing machine to thank called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orthodonticsinmiami.com\/Services\/Weston-Acceledent\/8743\" target=\"_blank\">AcceleDent<\/a>. Basically what this little tool does is cut the time that you wear each tray in half! So where you would generally wear 1 tray for 2 weeks at a time, with this, you only wear it for 1 week. It&#8217;s really amazing once you start flying through the trays. I&#8217;m already on my 10th tray, which wouldn&#8217;t be possible without AcceleDent. AcceleDent is a lightweight handheld piece that you use for 20 minutes a day (while I&#8217;m watching Law &amp; Order: SVU for example), and it uses microvibrations to stimulate movement in your teeth. It is safe, gentle, and helps relieve that 1st day, new tray discomfort!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5441\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3117.jpg\" alt=\"miami fashion blogger\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3117.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3117-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3117-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3117-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3117-940x1254.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5443\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3115.jpg\" alt=\"invisalign blogger\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3115.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3115-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3115-768x987.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3115-467x600.jpg 467w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3115-940x1207.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5444\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3116.jpg\" alt=\"erika thomas miami\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3116.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3116-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3116-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3116-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3116-940x1175.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I think AcceleDent is great for a variety of reasons&#8211;whether you have a big event coming up (graduation, wedding, etc) or are just impatient like me and you want to see results as soon as possible.
