"Public speaking is still awkward, but at least I don’t worry about what my teeth look like. Dr. Cook guided me through about one year of Invisalign to straighten my crooked lower teeth and align my bite. Part of my treatment involved using elastic bands, so if you have malocclusion, Invisalign could be right for you. The total price was less than I expected, and I was offered a payment plan with easy monthly installments before I agreed to start. The assistants who worked on my attachments were friendly and empathetic regarding dental anxiety. I was especially fond of Jayden, who had an endlessly positive attitude and good instincts. Healthcare offices anywhere benefit from employees with growth mindsets. The secretaries at the front desk were also nice and easy to engage with despite the gossip they had heard from the mill of certain neighbors, who are basically the Dursleys from Harry Potter."
