I am still here. Waiting for refinement.

Well sorry about the lack of posts a lot has happened to me in the past month since I have posted. I will start here...
*I was laid off recently so have been pretty busy with work and trying to find work.
*I am graduating in one week, yey!
So those two things have really kept me on my toes but here it goes on the invisalign...
I finished my 20U/22L trays which was great, I must say I am very please with my results. I went to the orthodontist on 5/13/2008 and they sanded off all of my attachments.... sweeeet. I let my orthodontist know that there are two teeth on the top that I would like to be pushed in more and he agreed so he took impressions for the top teeth only, he said the bottom teeth are perfect, and told me in about 4 weeks I would have my refinement trays in.
I would also like to add that my bite is off by a lot, off as in my teeth don't touch in the back making it very uncomfortable for me, I am going to wait until my refinement is done to tell my ortho and see if it gets any better, if not he may have to put me in braces so I can use rubberbands to move my jaw.
He didn't order any retainers yet, he just told me to use my last trays for awhile, I also only have to wear them at night but like to wear them all day anyways.

I know I have promised pictures for a while and I have been a slacker but I DO have pictures that were taken at the orthodontists office when I went in to get my attachments taken off. Anyway, to my loyal readers, thank you, and I promise I will do my best to keep posting updates. Talk to you later!

xoxo,
Shawnna
