$3,800
I am SO anxious to start my treatment! The call that my trays are in could come any day now! I have always had a gap on my top teeth and a little bit of crowding on the bottom. Originally my dentist said it would be about 30 trays for me because I have a tooth on the bottom that is slightly turned. By a happy mistake, they sent my impressions to Invisalign with the instructions to fit me for an Express 10, so they made it work! According to my Clincheck, they are not going to turn the tooth (it's towards the back anyways- I didn't even know it was turned my whole life until my dentist mentioned something) and instead they will do a small amount of IPR to make space for my crowding. I was pleasantly surprised by the mistake. My dentist seemed less than thrilled with it initially, but said he was really impressed at the result they achieved in just 10 trays.
I'm just so ready to get started!

Still anxiously awaiting my trays
I'm still anxiously awaiting my trays. I'm hoping for the call tomorrow or Wednesday. I even worked extra today so that I can just take the whole afternoon off when my trays are ready. How long was the wait for everyone else between accepting treatment/clincheck and receiving your trays?

I remember when I was waiting for mine. It took a few weeks (but it really depends on the office you go to). You can check out my review for a timeline. That day you drive up to the orthodontist's office and get your trays is like Christmas!!! You are going to love your smile. You are already beautiful now, but just imagine when it is all done.

Thank you! I will check out your review. I seriously can't wait. The office initially told me 1.5-2 weeks so I'm really anxious waiting for the call. I feel silly, but I might call them to see if it has come in yet this afternoon.

No problem. You're going to love it. I pulled out my first tray last night and compared it to my current tray (#28) and was stunned at the difference. 6 months later, and my smile is so incredible.

Good news! My office called. I'm going in on Thursday! I bet I won't be able to sleep tomorrow night. It's kind of funny because I did end up calling earlier and they hadn't come in yet, then I made a joke that maybe because I called they would magically appear... And they did! Can't wait!

Going in this afternoon to get my attachments, IPR, and first set of trays :) I will post an update this afternoon with pictures and videos of my clincheck (I have seen it already, I just forgot to take a video of it last time)
