Refinement Time!

Well a month and a week ago I went to my orthodontist's office and got all of my attachments sanded off, which was not very pleasant, because my initial 20U/22L aligners were done. I had some complaint about 2 teeth that I wanted moved on the top and he agreed so we did the whole drool on yourself for five minutes thing again with the invisalign impressions and he told me in 4 weeks they would be back in his office and to come in then.

That brings me to the now...

Well on Monday I went and got my refinement trays which surprisingly is only 4 more sets of trays. I had to get some saving done but that wasn't bad. My trays were very tight which I haven't had to deal with in a while. I informed my orthodontist about the fact that my teeth do not touch and he told me that when the teeth cannot touch eachother they forget how to set and the only way to fix this is to not have anything between them meaning no invisalign retainer for me in 8 weeks, I get a permanent retainer attached to the back of my teeth. I hope that my teeth come together! Ahhhh...

Anyway, Until next time!

Love,
