My retainers arrived in less than a week!! The Vivera retainers are just a bit thicker that the invisalign trays were. I find them very comfortable and bonus, no sharp edges!! And without any bumps for attachments they are practically invisible!

So yesterday I went to my dentist to assess my progress at tray 19 out of 20. We decided that we were happy with the results at that stage and I would not proceed to tray 20. I still have a slightly crooked tooth on the bottom that does not show when I smile and I'm not concerned about. Anyway I went back in this morning to have all my attachments taken off and have a little bit of bonding on one of my top front tooth. (The one to the right of center which was much shorter than its conterpart on the left side) now it looks much more even. We took impressions for my retainers and cut a little hole in my current top tray so it would fit over the tooth that has bonding and I was sent on my merry way with my new smooth straight teeth to await my retainers! About 2 weeks they say. Sadly I still have to wear thsee trays with bumps all over them til then but boy is it nice to take them off to eat and show off my new attachmentless smile!!! I just can't believe I'm done!! The time has flown by!! It hasn't even been 10 months and the results are astounding to me!! So happy I did this for myself!!
If anyone our there is reading this and contemplating invisalign, I say what are you waiting for!!? Just do it!! You won't regret it!!

Looks fantastic! Congratulations!

Thank you!! You will be so happy you did this for yourself!! Take lots of pictures! When you look in the mirror every day you won't notice the changes and it can be discouraging. If you have pictures and compare your current trays to tray 1 you will notice the changes sooner. : )

Looking awesome! Have you had them whitened? Xx

No. The before picture was taken in the bathroom where the lighting makes everything look a bit yellow. They definitely are whiter though due to all the extra brushing. And I do use whitening toothpaste.

Wow - they look amazing! I was wondering what happens when you get your attachments off and impressions for retainers - now I know :) Only another 10 weeks for me - so excited and (I know its a cliche) but it's been great sharing our journey together - thanks for your support x
