Testimonials

My top teeth had always annoyed me, especially my uneven smile and the way my front two teeth crossed over. In fact, they more than bothered me. They always caused my head to turn in every photo and if in the unlucky event I got cornered for a front facing photo, I felt that I had no option but to close my lips and hide my teeth.

At 23 years of age and in a job where I meet new customers every day, I felt that I just could not face traditional metal braces. I knew that they would make me feel even more self-conscious just like when I wore them as a young teenager. Oh, how I wish I'd followed through with my treatment back then. If only there was an undetectable way of straightening my teeth.

Then one day on a work assignment, I met up with Dr Haj Manku-Barlow of Brunswick Dental Rooms. I mentioned my concerns for my smile and how I hated the idea of wearing metal braces. Haj introduced me to a new concept in orthodontics called 'Invisible Braces'. It was as if all my dental prayers had been answered as I sat back and listened to her outline the perfect solution for my crooked teeth.

Getting started could not have been easier – a couple of impressions of my teeth, a few photographs and x-rays and, within a fortnight, I was able to see a computer-generated animated video (Clincheck) showing how my teeth would move to achieve my new balanced smile.

I change each aligner every fortnight and visit Haj for regular checks. The aligners are very comfortable and I wear them every day and night, removing them only to eat, brush or floss. I am now half way through my treatment and I can already see a marked improvement in my smile. Most people don't even notice I am wearing the aligners and my lifestyle has not been disrupted in any way.

I am already feeling more confident in myself as I know I am already well on my way to the stunning smile I have always dreamed of.

I would strongly recommend everyone with concerns about straightening their teeth to visit Haj and discover how she and Invisible Braces can not only change smiles but also change lives.
