'Kalaheo Dental is like finding the perfect wave and cruising down the line toward a healthier me, said Kryst Apeles, three-time World Champion Tandem Surfer, who recently completed Invisalign treatment at Kalaheo Dental Group. Heres her story:

The Invisalign trays looked great and felt better than braces, they even felt better than my plastic retainers I had after my braces were removed. Yes, you wear the trays at all times other than when youre eating, drinking (anything other than water), or brushing your teeth. I continued doing everything as usual, which included commercial photoshoots and dancing on stage at luaus. No one could tell I had them on unless they talked to me up close. At the halfway point, I already noticed a clear difference in my bottom teeth and was in awe with the change in the underbite I had neglected for so long.

Time to celebrate! Kalaheo Dental always finds a way to go above and beyond, and with every Invisalign graduate, they gift them whitening treatments. Hooray! Who doesnt want whiter teeth?! This is a professional grade of whitening that works with the last tray of the Invisalign. I was amazed at how quickly it worked. In about a week, I felt like I had the smile of a teenager.

I wish I could maintain a good review but I received a letter out of the blue withdrawing dental services; I was not contacted prior, I was just told they wouldn't see me again due to my dental anxiety. Additionally, years ago Dr Lutwin told me I needed a root canal and I chose not to do so, and was able to go to an amazing dentist in another state who saved my tooth without a root canal necessary. Very unprofessional to just stop seeing me without even communicating except for a harsh letter. Do not feel cared for by these people at all, honestly, I'm probably better off since I shouldn't have returned after the root canal situation.

i hate having my mouth numbed, especially when the procedure is short. i was given the option to not be numbed and was able to leave the office in about 20-30 minutes without being miserable the next couple hours
