Invisalign testimonial

I received this great testimonial from a 19 year old patient of mine just recently about his Invisalign treatment. Here it is in his own words and unedited.

“I, Christopher Millar decided to try Invisalign because my front tooth was forward of my other teeth and catching on my lip, which caused me to cut my lip when I was eating and made it very uncomfortable. I had tried to have treatment with an orthodontist but this didn’t work for me as I have a gag reflex problem which they couldn’t cope with. I am really pleased with how Invisalign is working, my problem tooth has already gone back and it not causing me any bother, all my teeth are starting to look really straight and smart. The treatment is invisible and on the whole very comfortable (slight discomfort on the first day of a new set of aligners). Richard and his staff have been fantastic and made the whole process much more manageable, they can cope with my gag reflex problem and I don’t have to worry about my appointments. I would highly recommend Invisalign to anyone seeking treatment for teeth straightening especially older teenagers or adults who would rather not have a metal brace on show.”

BNI 10 minute slot

Today I held an audience of about 50 local business people spellbound for my allotted annual 10 minute slot at the Jack O'Newbury Chapter of BNI whilst explaining what Invisalign is and how it works. I used a powerpoint presentation kicked off with a 2 minute animoto video. It had to be fast paced but may have resulted in a couple of referrals.
One new member, a photographer approached me wishing to sign up to the practice.
I also had an unexpected and glowing testimonial from one of my long standing regular patients. She attended for the first time today as an observer and when asked to stand and appraise the meeting she did so but couldn't wait to tell the assembled group that she and her children had been patients for 16 years and that the kids loved coming to see us and what was more I was an excellent dentist. That really made my day. So I can put the powerpoint away for another year now.
