Wow, so much of life has been going on I haven't even ever had time to get on here and update! I'm actually pregnant with a little boy now and moving out of my house so life has been crazy! lol. But I am on my LAST aligner now! In about I think like 2 weeks it is, I will be DONE! I will be posting pics of my teeth asap along with more detail on how Invisalign has been past few months :).

Metal attachment....
This morning the little metal attachment on my upper right side that hooks the rubber band fell off this morning when taking off my aligner! First time anything has ever fallen off, so couldn't wear my rubber bands at all today. Going to ortho tomorrow at 1:30pm to get it put back on!

Annoying! I've heard of people losing attachments like crazy, but this is the first time I've seen someone lose a button :). I'm sure it's pretty common though--they've gotta take a lot of pressure, those guys!

Aligner 21 with rubber bands!
I actually had missed my last ortho appointment, made another, then missed that one to.. A little to much of life was happening. Luckily I am not tooo behind. Today I picked up aligners 21-24, all of which I will be wearing rubber bands (2 months). My bands as you will notice in my pics go in the opposite directions of each other. This is supposed to fix my midline to shift it to the left, and correct my over bite. Exciting news, after these four aliners ALL my attachments come off!! Then I will proceed with about 2 more aligners and I should be done. I will have about 2 more aligners after that to correct anything If needed, and If my orthodontist and myself are still not satisfied after all 28, we can re scan my teeth and order more. For the rubber bands they just bonded another attachment that is a small metal piece, the rubber band hooks on to that, then hooks on to a hook made into the aligner itself. If you have any questions let me know! I have lots of pictures.

Great pics! I can even see the button a little :). I'm still surprised the rubber bands work at all, but they sure seem to :). After being in aligners so long, do you still experience discomfort when switching to the next tray?

Thanks! & I know haha I thought the same, it seems to weird that a rubber band can really make a difference! As for experiencing discomfort, sometimes. I notice when putting in a new aligner I start to feel it on day 2 or 3. But I'm definitely used to it by now to where It doesn't bother me so bad. Some aligners hurt more than others. I've noticed it seems like every other aligner will have discomfort, and the others I won't feel any at all.
