ADVICE NEEDED!
WORTH IT$5,600
Hey Yall.
I need advice. Please weigh in. Don't just read!
Ok. The gap on the side of my mouth has closed for the most part, but i still think it could close more. I'm on my last refinement tray and I don't know if i should get more. The teeth are triangular, so they won't go together flush unless i get some ipr or something. So am i being obsessive? Or justifiable? I wanna be done. But don't wanna waste the chance to fix it. The teeth almost, maybe actually touch at the top? HELP
My next appointment is on the 30th....

1st refinement tray! !
I went to my ortho this morning to get my refinement trays. Some 5-6 weeks later! Grrr! Anyway, super easy and fast appointment. I have 8!! Refinement trays! I only had 17 regular trays. O well. First tray fits like a glove, is not tight at all :(. Will update when I see progress!!! Exclamation marks! !! Lol

17/17 awaiting revisions
It's been awhile! :) Finished my last 4 trays the other day. The trays marked overcorrection literally over corrected my bottom teeth. I should've never gone past tray 15. So now one of my front bottom teeth is crooked :( It's hardly noticeable, but I was gonna have it fixed anyway lol. I also had gaps on the side where they hadn't been before. One side closed up during overcorrection, while one did not.
So I had what would've been my final appointment on Wednesday and I brought my concerns to the doctor, he agreed and I had a new scan done for revisions. So it's bittersweet. The doctor did say that I can just wear my trays at night only until revisions come. But after two days of doing that, it's a little too tight putting them in after all day of not wearing them. So I may wear them a few hours during the day as well. New trays should be in 2 weeks from last Wednesday, so im anxiously waiting. Will update when I get those trays. Ps. The dental assistant said the next appointment may be longer if they prescribe more attachments! I said well I've already got 15, so I can't imagine there'd be anymore lol!! So we'll see :)

I somehow managed to miss this update! I think it was during our changeover here on the site and we didn't get notification for a while. Looking really, really great! But now that I know there's another update below, I'm going to skip straight there :).
I had to wait almost exactly the same amount of time for my refinements! I started with 18 trays, did 13, then did six refinements. Your refinement course is not very long, but in your last pictures, I didn't see much to fix. Very minor stuff. Maybe next time you take pictures you can give us the angles that show your issues so we can see what these refinements are supposed to be addressing :). It'll go quick, though. No worries. The annoying part is the 6 months or whatever you have to wear your retainers full-time, just when you thought you were done! :D
