How do you keep your patience when...?

It has been weeks since your impressions!? And you still have WEEKS to go until your appointment when the aligners are in?
It is so hard to keep my patience =( I feel like I would have been far into treatment by now if only 6 -7 weeks wasnt wasted by!
I understand they need to be made but it is just grueling.

Hang in there! I just got my aligners 4 days ago, 3 1/2 weeks after my impressions were made. Maybe it won't be too much longer for you.

Thanks for the positive words.
I wish it was 3 1/2 wks! They said they would call if they came in earlier but its just still a waiting game. A very annoying one! haha

Don't let the time discourage you. It may be that your orthodontist is spending more time on your ClinCheck to make sure all of the movements are ideal. There may be several edits and conversations going on in order to get the teeth exactly where they should go, in an order and direction that will allow the best treatment progression.

Proper planning at the beginning of Invisalign treatment is one of the keys to success. It is better than getting into a treatment that has not been planned by the provider, and finding out part way that your teeth aren't moving as expected.

Keep up your excitement for treatment up and good luck!

My ortho sent mine back to CA 3 times! he even showed me the communication between them.

Better late and right that rushed and rubbish.
