I had put a post last August when I initially got my invisalign on. Due to some health problems I was unable to do Invisalign then and had to stop treatment the day after getting them.
I went in for my Dental cleaning today and my Dentist asked me if I was doing better. I have been doing much better since then!
She then asked if I wanted to start my invisalign again. I of course said yes since they already are paid for and the appearance of my crooked teeth have been bothering me a lot lately.She then told me to wear my first 3 sets of aligners and I will go back in 6 weeks to have everything checked out.
I started wearing my aligners again today after my cleaning. When I initially received my aligner last year that had done IPR on my lower and also had placed 8 attachments. I am trying my invisalign out for the first 6 weeks to see if I can handle the invisalign now so I will probably get my attachments back on in 6 weeks. I hated the attachments the last time I received them so I am not looking forward to that! Especially since a couple of my attachments are very noticeable. Well the ones on my canines are. I have 13 trays for lower and upper.
When I was younger I had metal braces for 3 1/2 years with a lower expander. A couple years ago my permanent lower retainer came off and I did not go back to get it fixed. Since then my lower teeth have started to get crowded and that has pushed forward my two upper teeth in front. Teeth move so fast back to its original position. Although my teeth have shifted a little bit compared to how my teeth were before my metal braces I want to get it fixed before they go back to their original condition.
I havent told anyone about my invisalign yet. I was wondering if I should tell people or just wait and see if they say anything. I have a slight lisp at the moment and my aligners are very comfortable except for the parts where I need attachments since they stick out on the aligners.
Any body else starting Invisalign?
), but my ortho is on vacation, so I have to wait another week for that. I'm not looking forward to it!
! My front teeth won't get them until closer to the end of treatment, which is fine with me! They're not nearly as bad as I was fearing. I decided not to tell people about them just to see if I'd get funny looks. I didn't. In fact, the day after I got them one of my coworkers was like, "So when are you going to get your Invisalign?" The attachments on my canines are noticeable if you get within a few feet of me, but apparently no one is looking.
