Refinements
littlelozOctober 2, 2014
I'm up to tray 7 of 8 in my refinements and the difference, even without any attachments, has been great! Can't wait it finish in 2 weeks and get the permanent retainer on top. I make my last payment to my ortho next week too, so it will all be paid off finally. Will upload photos separately as they are on my phone

Tray 23 and refinements
littlelozJuly 29, 2014
So I did have to get refinements, for the top teeth only. I just finished my last tray on the bottom, and have been using tray 20 as a holding tray for the top while waiting for the new clincheck and aligners for mid course correction. I went to the orthodontist today and we had booked a long appointment because I needed attachments. I had really enjoyed not having attachments on my top teeth since they took the new moulds about 6 weeks ago. Once I was in there, my ortho looks at it and realises it is only attachments for bottom teeth, which are already on! So all that had to be done was a bit of IPL. I cannot tell you how glad I am to not have any attachments woohoo...!! I really believe the attachments are the main reason invisalign isn't that invisible! So my mid course correction is 8 trays but only 10 days for each tray so hopefully we will be done in October. Bottom teeth are all done, got the wire behind my bottom teeth so I don't have to do the whole removable retainer every day for the rest of my life! Another win!

Hello, thank you for your blog its great!
Can you take a pic of your bottom teeth with the wire? Can you see it?
Will you have the wire on the top too?
Thanks

Thanks for the compliment! I tried taking a photo so many time and just couldn't get the right angle. I finally used a mirror and got a friend to take it. I will post in a sec. Gotta download to computer. No, you can't see it easily. I am most likely getting the wire on the top, too, cause those teeth move back so much easier than my bottom and I don't want all this time and money to be a waste!

Sorry!! I thought that message was for me as it was in my hotmail inbox and I just hit reply! Sorry about that. BUT you can check out my photo, too, if you want.

Your results are amazing! Definitely worth the time and money. You have so many photos, I feel lazy haha!

Thank you! And sorry for the delay, my life has been super busy at the moment! I will post a photo in a sec, it is hard to see the wire but I think I got one where you can sort of see it. I go back to ortho in 2 weeks when I finish my last tray and will be getting a wire on the top too. I'm glad, permanent retainer for me is a much better option.

Congratulations!!!!
Is your lower right central incisor by any chance thicker than the lower left central incisor? My upper right is thicker than my upper left, and I found it wanted to move out of place much more than the other teeth once I was in retainers. Just curious :).

I have no idea! Haha. But it has moved down heaps with refinements, I'm on tray 7 of 8 and it's almost in line. It was worse to start off with so has taken longer to move, and I didn't have an attachment on the tooth next to it like I did on the left

Oh I see you said lower! Hah yes it is! Ortho said I can get it shaved but I probably won't
