Hi friends! I am finally done with my Invisalign treatment!1!!1one!!1!! Have received plenty of questions about this… Firstly, for the benefit of those in doubt, Invisalign is basically invisible braces that comes in the form of plastic instead of metal.

Before becoming a full-time DJ, I struggled a long time with the idea of Invisalign or normal braces. I knew for sure I wanted to have straight teeth, because it would help me a lot in terms of speech, my career, and my appearance by giving me a confident smile. Trust me, the Hazy two years ago was constantly weary of laughing out loud because I was too embarrassed to show the world my protruding canine tooth (and my overcrowded row of teeth at the bottom). Swipe left to see! Thankfully the bottom row is quite well hidden.

But at the same time, Invisalign is a very costly alternative to normal braces. For the latter, it is about $4k. However, I chose to go for the former and paid about $9k for the entire treatment… just for its transparency. Literally. I worked while I studied to pay off the cost. And two years later I am finally done with the treatment, and am happy to say that I think I’ve made a good choice!

The good thing about Invisalign is that during the course of my treatment, I can remove the aligners as and when I need to, for example when I’m on air. But honestly, I can speak perfectly fine with them on as well. What I love most about it is, yet again, how transparent it is. I can go ahead and take photos or go on FB live programmes without anyone noticing I have them on. That is very important to me, in my opinion, as a personality. Of course, there is nothing wrong with metal braces, but I tend to be a little bit of a vain pot hahaha.

However, if you’re looking to straighten your teeth and the appearance during the process is not of utmost concern to you, I do suggest the normal braces! Ultimately you get to save a few thousand bucks. But if you’re insistent on the transparency like I am, and still have some questions, do leave a comment below!
