🦷 Invisalign 30 - POST WIRE: Tartar buildup and interdental flossing // Follow Lisa

STEP 30: With the wire attached inside the first top and bottom 6 teeth, there seems to be a lot more tartar/plaque buildup. It was 3 months that I had my last appointment. I started off being good about flossing but stopped for a week or two and then couldn't remove it any more. My orthodontist Dr. Ioana Puicescu from iDental Studio in Carouge - Geneva, Switzerland had to spend quite a bit of time removing this and has recommended a small interdental brush. She wants to see me in 3 months.

✨🌠 Vintage Christmas decorating 2023 in Switzerland // Follow Lisa

Our 2023 holiday season showcases vintage ones bought through the year that you might not have seen on previous videos. Admire my "vintage birds and mushrooms only tree", "vintage bell tree", "vintage tree topper collection" and the "family tree". After scoring 10 champagne coups at the flea market, I decided they would be great to hold a few decorations and snowmen in front of the window.

🌸 MILLE & UNE ORCHIDÉES exhibit at the Jardin des Plantes (orchids), Paris, France // Follow Lisa

A quick trip to Paris from Geneva by TGV (3.5 hours) was a wonderful way to spend a weekend.

The Jardin des Plantes within the Musée d'histoire Naturelle de Paris holds an annual orchid exhibit within the giant greenhouses. This exhibit ran from 8 February through 6 March 2023.

The best part was seeing all the orchids for sale in the adjoining pop up shop.

Afterwards, a hot mint tea was just the perfect refreshment at La Mosquée de Paris across the street.

🦷 Invisalign 24 - Overcorrection ordered and comparative photos taken of teeth // Follow Lisa

STEP 24: I have no expectations when entering i Dental Studio in Carouge - Geneva, Switzerland, to see my lovely orthodontist Dr. Ioana Puicescu.
She asks if I'm happy with the results and, of course, I am overjoyed... but can't wait to end the treatment (2.5 years already). There are still some gaps between teeth that need to be adjusted.
An overcorrection needs to be ordered before we call it quits. This will be my 4th set of trays! A scan is taken and I have my next appointment once the trays have arrived. Meanwhile, I continue with tray 33/33 (of the 3rd set) until then.

A series of photos is taken and I am still in awe what a difference my upper and lower palate shapes have taken. What do you think? Please leave a comment!

I was hoping she would tell me that I was weeks away from the end... but hear what she tells me. I might have to go beyond... an overcorrection. She wants to check in with me before I start the last tray of this 3rd set of Invisalign trays.

The great thing was ending the appointment with a series of quick photos posed in front of my original pre-treatment photos as well as the Invisalign computer generated one of the same day! Watch till the end.

🚠 A weekend to Grenoble France - bulles télépherique - Fort de la Bastille // Follow Lisa

Follow Lisa to Grenoble, France. Less than 2 hours from Geneva by car. The magical "bulles" are 2 series of 5 cable cars suspended above the river and takes to you the Fort de la Bastille in about 5 minutes. The first urban cable car in France, it was inaugurated in 1934, before being transformed into "bubbles" in 1976. Its spherical gondolas with see-through panels take you up to the fortifications of the Bastille in five minutes, at an altitude of nearly 500 meters. We loved seeing them at all angles and times of day.

We got there on a Friday in August and stayed 2 nights. We went early on Saturday to take the bulles and when we returned there was a queue going around the block... so go early. We bought some food and had a picnic although there is a restaurant and snack bar at the top. Picnic tables are available.

If you have the chance to eat a tarte aux noix de Grenoble (walnut specialty), then by all means please do. We had a few of these delicious pastries but didn't take any photos.

🦷 Invisalign 22 - Stubborn teeth won't move - retreating back - painful attachments // Follow Lisa

STEP 22: I noticed my teeth weren't filling the bottom tray and sent photos by email to my orthodontist Dr. Ioana Puicescu at i Dental Studio in Carouge - Geneva, Switzerland. She told me to stop wearing the elastics that went from top back to bottom front until my appointment. When I got there, she made me go back 2 sets of trays on the bottom! I was so disappointed but kind of expected it.

She removed 2 attachments on the bottom teeth and set new ones on the front (white composite) and back (metal) so that we force the tray into place. The next week was one of the most PAINFUL I have had so far. Not only did the front attachments make my lip sore, but the two teeth were so wobbly. Ugh. But after one week, it was easier to support and they seem to have settled now.
