Well, here I am admitting my slackerishness again! I really must get better at sticking the commitment that I made to my poor little blog!
Well heres how it goes-
On Monday morning I went to the orthodontist for one of my last scheduled checkups. Well I must say that Dr. Little was very impressed by my progress and even said that the next time I go in could be to get my impressions for my retainer! *sweet* He said that since I have worn them like I am suppose to my teeth are right where they should be and next time when I go in for my checkup (April 15th I believe) he said that if I like where my teeth are and he like how things look he will order my retainers. *Magnificent!*
Also, I only have one more try after this until my top aligners are up and 3 more for the bottom after this set I am in. Dr. Little said after wearing my last top aligner for 3 weeks I could wear it just at night if I would like. :)
Now that I have told all of my good news I must tell my bad...
The dreaded cut up tongue of doom has returned for whatever reason (I think an unskillful invisalign technician cut this one!) and my torment from it is back... oi
Other than that something happened that I didn't expect to happen, I want to keep my trays out as long as possible because I love the way my smile looks now! I said in a previous post that I liked having them in because they made my teeth look better but now I see them as a flaw! I'm so very excited and especially because I am graduating this May and I will be able to smile big for all those pictures! yey!
Oh, and I forgot to mention I got my Monroe pierced about a week and a half ago but my orthodontist didn't seemed concerned about it. I was afraid he would tell me I should take it out! Nooo....
Anyways, Until next time!

Pretty cool Can i see some pics?
Hey!
So I just got an Invisalign tray on my bottom teeth two days ago and my tongue is absolutely KILLING me! : (
The stupid tray keeps cutting my tongue and I wanted to know if you knew of anything I could do to fix it?
Hi Shawna! I'm glad that everything is going well for your dental treatment. Similar to your case, I am quite tormented by the idea of a dental procedure. My dentist used sedation dentistry (Chicago) during my invisalign installation to help me relax during the process. Everything went out smoothly and now I still have my invisalign.
My sister was more fortunate than I was. In her case, she only needed porcelain veneers (Chicago) to correct her chipped teeth. That's the dentist's recommendation for minor teeth damage.
I wish you the same success in your aligners. Good Luck!
