After 13 months, his treatment is complete and he loves his new smile. When we first started traveling, orthodontics was one of the things we were not sure how we would complete. It worked well to have Lucas&#8217; treatments in Bangkok and return every few months for checkups. Doing Invisalign over metal braces made the process much easier. Lucas did a great job of remembering to wear and change his trays.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9359\" src=\"https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3474.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1331\" height=\"998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3474.jpg 1331w, https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3474-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3474-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3474-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3474-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3474-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_3474-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1331px) 100vw, 1331px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We saw our friends JB, Anna, Emmy, and Tyler in Bangkok.
