My mother got braces at 55. You’re never too old to do something you’ve dreamed of doing!

I am an OG of invisalign, got them in 2005 finished in 2007 and 14 years later can absolutely say it was one of the best things I have done for my confidence and well being. Still wear retainers 3 x week and my teeth have never shift back so worth it!!

My 16yr old son finished his Invisalign treatment a couple of months ago and now just wears his nighttime retainer. His confidence has soared and nothing warms my heart more than seeing him smile proudly! It’s expensive, but we would pay it all over again.

Thank you, Jessica! I have decided to do Invisalign at 66 years young! I get them on 11/21! Thank you for the education!

[bkristek]

Two weeks in on mine thanks to you. You're so right, I wasted SOOOO much time thinking about why I couldn't get Invisalign, I could have been done already. Definitely don't regret going for it

[mollyyyy]

It’s amazing the way straight teeth can change your confidence. Invisalign is honestly some of the best money I’ve ever spent. So glad you loved your experience too!

[thewadsquad]

Has it seriously been two years?! WooooW. Love your end result! Absolutely beautiful!

[kathleencabral]

Got my invisalign at 59, I had 3 kids and took care of all their teeth first. My insurance covered $1000 of it, and the entire process took 21 months and lots of attachments, and 2 sets if refinements. Wish I could have done it when I was younger, but better let than never. Worth every penny!! 🙂

[thethrashbird]

I am on my second tray! You helped me make the decision and it resonates so much when you said to get it started and stop wasting time. I am so happy to do it for myself.

[lilly]

I’m actually getting mine tomorrow. I’ve been so nervous about the lifestyle changes more than anything. But you answered all the questions I had in my head. Can’t wait!

[kimchiravioli]

I just got my first Invisalign tray today. Jessica's videos have curbed a lot of the anxiety I'm having while sitting with this plastic in my mouth (or should I say plazzztic since I have a now have an epic and *hopefully* temporary lisp). I could listen to Jessica talk about anything. She's so warm, relatable and funny!

[tonyamcguire]

My 14 year old has Invisalign and he’s done a amazing. He’s on week 14 and his orthodontist is impressed with his dedication. I have dental insurance but his case was only cosmetic and it wouldn’t pay. We paid right under 4 grand as well. My son is so happy with his results it’s been worth every single penny.

[hollypfeifer]

Your teeth look great Jess! I got braces in September 2019. Wanted Invisalign but was not a candidate. Got the braces off in March 2021. I had lots of crowding and my bite was wrecking my bottom teeth.I am proud to smile now! Worth all the pain and worth every penny.

[torisaywhaat]

I’ve had Invisalign for 4 months now and honestly couldn’t be happier! Im 25 and my smile has always held me back from being fully confident. Already noticing a difference and it makes me SO happy. Should only have them on 15-20 months and I’m sure I will be so glad I did once I’m done!

[laurenslaughter]

I started using that toothpaste based on your recommendation, and at my most recent teeth cleaning appointment, the hygeinist stopped mid-way through to ask what toothpaste I use. When I told her, she BEGGED me to stop. She said that whitening toothpastes have fine granuals that scratch your teeth and is definitely not good for your enamel. Just thought I’d pass that along..

[sarahkat]

Yay! So glad you’re doing an update! I watched all your prior videos before (finally) starting mine and it really motivated me to just bite the bullet and get it done. I’m on week 13 out of 20 and my only regret is not doing it sooner!

Edit to add: I’m glad you touched on the self esteem part. It was something I always hated and felt self conscious about. I actually cried when the dentist told me they could fix my smile. You don’t realize how deep it affects you until you start seeing the progress. It’s like an internal weight has been lifted 🙌 Thanks so much for sharing your Invisalign journey!

[reanndonaghy]

Thank you so much, I can’t tell you how much better I feel watching all your video on getting Invisalign. I get mine in two days. I’m 66 years old.Thank you so much!!

[heatherjohnson]

Beautiful smile Jess! I just wanted to relate that I had lasik to fix my eyesight and it is the best gift I ever gave myself. I think Invisalign may be my next gift to myself after I get my kids braces done. YOU are worth it!

[wendy.darling]

i’m on week 3 and it’s the best decision i’ve ever made! i’ve been sooo self conscious about my smile for years and i’m excited to see all the changes coming up 😊

[michelleverdi]

I just recently went for consultation and said I would do it. Then my anxiety kicked in and was very close to saying forget it. Thankfully I came across your video and it has made me totally change my mind. You were extremely helpful!!! You went over literally everything I was worried about down to the coffee!!! LOL. But seriously this really put me at ease. Thank you!!!
