Hi all, it has been a looooong time since I last posted on here. I am on my last two trays of my third set of refinement aligners. You get your first set and then three refinement sets. I assume if I want to go further with my treatment I’ll need to pay more. I had a visit with the dentist yesterday afternoon, he removed all of the attachments on the front of my teeth. I have to say they feel really strange, good strange! They feel very smooth and straight. I have three weeks left and then I’ll be going back to be fitted for my retainer. I know they’re not perfect but they’re definitely better than when I started out :o)

humph. I was never provided with "refinement" aligners and paid 3x what you did! My retainer was fitted to push back one of the teeth, but that's about it on the refinement end of things. Congrats on being near the finish line. It feels great to chew gum again.

I'm glad everything turned out in your favor! Great progress! I have a ton of attachments and I can't remember what my mouth feels like without them haha

Glad you are still plugging along Lucyann! You are right, slow but steady change. :)

Hi, I am on tray 12 of 26 on my second set of braces now. Each time I put in a new tray I feel pressure on a different tooth, I can see a difference from when I started and have uploaded a new pic :o)

Thanks for posting the new pictures Lucyann! I have to say, you are so unbelievably patient. I'm glad to see some change, but I really am surprised there hasn't been more in the time frame you have been in treatment. Hopefully this series of trays will straighten everything out for you. :)

Are the buttons noticable and kind of sharp?

@cupcakecat - my buttons are very noticeable when I take off the aligners. But never have they cut me.  Biggest complaint, someone remarked that I know have "Corn Cob" teeth! Not cool
