I went to the dentist today that my sister recommended I go to. It's really upscale with TVs to watch as you get your teeth cleaned, and the actual dentist does all the cleaning himself, not some just-out-of-Maric-College dental assistant graduate. I was really pleased with my two hour teeth cleaning and the genuine interest they had in me as a patient.
We discussed creating my ideal smile, and I told my doctor that I wanted to have an amazing smile ASAP. We went through the various phases that I'd need to go through in order to get one and I made an appointment for Phase 1 on the 21st.
The phases are as follows:
Phase 1 - Get wisdom teeth removed
Phase 2 - change amalgam fillings to composite (white) fillings
Phase 3 - have jaw surgery to push my lower jaw in and possibly bring my upper jaw out
Phase 4 - braces for 2 to 3 years (possibly using traditional metal braces for the first 2 years and finishing out the last 6-12 months with Invisalign)
Phase 5 - Zoom 3! Whitening and whitening tray combination therapy
This should all take around 3 years to complete, but I'm very serious about finally being able to smile and have my teeth and profile match what's inside my mind when I think of how I want to appear to the world.
This is going to take a lot of money, time, and test my tolerance for pain. Wish me luck :)
