Well, it seems like forever but its been a slow process and I'm so ready to be done with the liners. I have one tooth that didn't feel right because it didn't line up perfect so I'm in a ortho made liner/retainer that is fixing it...kind of annoying because its thick and I just want it over. I have to be in theirs for SIX weeks! Then I was told I could have permanent retainer, well now they said I can't on the top and they will do the bottom. I need to look in my contract because I also thought I was going to get my teeth whitened at the end but so far I've heard nothing of it. I honestly didn't have much movement that was needed, I couldn't imagine how long someone would be in these if you had a lot of movement to do!

Thank you! Its nice to know that you can see the results too and its not just me from staring at it! Nice to know that you aren't having sensitive spots or anything else, that was my biggest concern. Thank you for sharing!!!

Loving the results
I am now on tray 9 and I can finally start to "see" the results. I had the buttons put on when I wrote my last review and I have to say I do like having the buttons on rather than not having them, I think they fit better. I also think he helps me to keep them on more, just a subtle reminder. I have noticed since the last review that my bottom teeth are now starting to touch my top teeth in the front and I don't care for that. I brought this up to my ortho and he said that it isn't uncommon and that they are just finding their new locations and that it is a slight touch and it just may take some getting used to though it will continue to change. He did "GRIND" some of my teeth to help with some of the major spots that bother me but I wasn't to thrilled with this as that is healthy bone that I felt he was grinding down that we never talked about though I have read that in other reviews they may need to do this. I don't care for that, I think they should be able to fix my teeth without having to grind away at my teeth...but I guess I'm not a ortho either, just wish I would have known all that up front so I knew what to expect.

I felt the same way about the grinding when I recently got it done (post-treatment). I felt like the doctor didn't consult me enough and allay my fears--she simply proceeded to do it without getting my permission. This wasn't IPR (interproximal reduction) between the teeth, but grinding surfaces so my teeth didn't touch too soon and keep my mouth from closing.
It'd be nice if they remembered that these are not everyday occurrences for us, like they are to the doctors. Communication is so important.
But that said, I haven't had any negative effects from it so far, and am considering asking for a little more on one of my teeth that's thicker than it should be and keeps pushing my results out of place.
I hope your treatment continues to go well :)
