She added that she could previously feel how far inward her teeth were tilted, but now noticed a difference in their positioning.

"I could feel how far in they were tilted like that, but now I can feel just how outer they are," she said, describing the improvement.

To give viewers a clearer picture of her journey, the content creator @babsiiengcobo shared a comparison of how her teeth looked in December 2025 and how they appeared in February 2026. She noted that she only began using the invisible braces in February and had already started seeing changes.

The social media user @babsiiengcobo also mentioned that she planned to wear the braces back-to-back for a week as part of her routine, indicating her commitment to achieving the desired results.

Her review sparked interest among online users, with many curious about the effectiveness of at-home orthodontic solutions. While some praised her transparency and patience with the process, others encouraged professional guidance when considering dental treatments.
