So I'm getting my impressions done on Friday and I am very excited.

I think I've got them for a really great price and I hope I get the results that I really want. At the moment my upper lateral incisor on my right side is half behind my central incisor and it's driving me nuts. This has also given me a cross bite as it goes behind the lower lateral incisor when I shut my jaw.

Had my consultancy last week and I was told that I was suitable. Basically have to push my central incisors left and rotate my lateral... going to take 10 months apparently.

Anything I should know that my guy at the clinic hasn't told me yet?

I and a few other people here had the same problem with the rotated upper lateral incisor. I didn't have an attachment on that tooth with my first series of aligners (28U/28L) and the tooth intruded a bit instead of rotating completely. With my refinement series (11U/11L) they put an attachment on that tooth and it is now coming into the correct position. So my advice it to ask your guy at the clinic to make sure they put an attachment on that tooth. You may be concerned that the attachment will be visible but it's better to do the job right the first time than to risk extending your treatment time. Good luck.

Had the impressions done today... that's an unpleasant experience!
