Well... I had my ortho appointment this last week. She removed my attachments, man does it feel weird to have smooth teeth again!
I had an issue with one side not completely closing like my bite was off. She stuck this red piece of paper in my mouth and when you bite down, it leaves little red mark on your teeth where the top and bottom hit together. From that, she said she could "shape" one of my teeth (shave it off a little) and see if that helps. I was skeptical, but it worked!
She then told me to look at my teeth. She said they look amazing but told me to look at them good and really be critical and let her know if there was anything I didn't like. I asked her if I was just paranoid that my front teeth weren't as close together as they should be, kind of hoping she would tell me I was just paranoid. Her response was that she knows that was my main concern going into this and that she wants to make sure I'm completely happy, so we're doing refinements. Basically what's going to happen is that there will be a few more trays so that it kind of pulls everything in a little more and tightens everything up a bit. She thought that it would only be around 5 trays and we could probably do it without attachments!!! :)
Oh! And whitening is included with my treatment, but normally at the end. I asked about it today to find out the details for sure. Then went ahead and gave me a whitening kit to use since I don't have attachments for at least the next two weeks! :)
I will update again once I know what refinements are going to bring for sure. I have my appointment to go back in on September 6th.
I will also post pictures later of the whitening results. Just one treatment made a HUGE difference!

Ahh! Beautiful! What a difference, before and after. You look like a whole new lady! :) It's a bummer that you have to do refinements, but just remember that it's worth it. If you're doing it, you might as well do it right. :)
ReplyDeleteI just passed the halfway hump 3 weeks ago... appointment tomorrow for more aligners. I'll start 9/15 tomorrow morning!
Keep positive, you're doing great!
I'm getting there. I'm on tray 4 of 10 on the refinements, I'm almost halfway there!! :) Well, tray 4 of 5 on the bottom, so about 18 more days, although I'll have to wear the bottom aligner for the remainder of the time.
