Update!
Hello, sorry I haven't updated for such a while. I think because I was nearing the end there was less to update on due to such tiny movements being made on the bottom and a dummy tray being on top.
Ok! I have finished my Invisalign treatment!! Wooooooooo!
My appointment to have the attachments off etc was supposed to be at the beginning of this month (September) but my very last tray cracked so we had to send off for a new tray and this delayed my treatment for a few weeks! So annoying!
I ended up going in for my appointment in the middle of September. I had all attachments removed and a wire put behind my top and bottom teeth. The top wire is covering my top 4 front teeth and the bottom wire is covering the 6 front teeth. I also did my impressions for my removable retainer as I will be wearing both. I don't want to take any risks that my teeth might move back.
I go back in a few days to collect the retainer and to collect my whitening gel. So excited about this part! I will update with pictures when the whitening has been done. I hope everyone else is doing ok.
The picture I've added shows my teeth in their very first tray compared to a picture I took this morning. My orthodontist is amazing and I really don't think these 2 pictures look like they are of the same mouth.

So so so close!!!!
I went to the orthodontist last week and was on tray 22 of 28 (top is finished but wearing them still as the bottom has these trays left) and she gave me really good news!! I can now wear my remaining trays for 1 week each but the last 2 trays are to be worn for a week and a half each! Eeeek! I’m so so excited!
I changed to tray 23 on Monday and as we are now on Saturday, it means I have 2 days until tray 24 goes in! Can’t believe how much quicker it seems now they are only going to be in for a week each!
I go back on the 5th September and will have all of my attachments removed and I will also have a fixed wire added to the back of my teeth (top and bottom) - I assume this will happen on the 5th aswell but I could be wrong. The cost for this is £300. I will also be fitted for a removable retainer (included in my Invisalign treatment). I’m going to have both as I don’t want to take any chances at all - I’m so worried about my teeth moving back! Another thing that’s included in my Invisalign treatment is teeth whitening and on the 5th I may receive my gels for this!
I hope everyone else is ok xx

Hiya, I haven’t been online and updated for a while but I will update now - Ok, so, officially my top teeth are now finished according to my treatment plan and I took my last tray out on Monday! Wooop! I now have to finish my bottom teeth (currently on refinement tray 17 of 28) so until they are finished, my top teeth will have an invisalign tray but this will no longer move my teeth. It will just be there to keep them in place until I have my retainers fitted.
The thing is, when I put tray 17 on my top teeth I assumed it wouldn’t feel tight, wouldn’t hurt etc because in effect it’s just a ‘dummy’ tray, but i feel like it’s actually still moving my teeth because it felt tight and hurt to get in and out and cold also feel pressure on certain teeth for the first few days. Hmmm?? I’m happy though as long as things are still progressing.
I’ve added an image of my teeth earlier today (with trays in). I still can’t believe how much my teeth have changed - I never thought my teeth would change so significantly and I could never envisage myself with straight teeth.
I hope everyone else is doing ok,
