Well, yesterday I had my dentist appointment with both Leeanne and Brett, hadn't seen Brett for months so he was very amazed at my teeth and how far I have come!
My teeth are exactly where they are supposed to be and still do not need refinements! YAY!
So last night I changed over to my final tray # 30!!!! As I was putting it in I felt a twinge of excitement knowing this is the last tray ever! Very soon I will be free!!!!!
I have to wear this last tray for 4 weeks instead of the usual 2 and that is to help the teeth settle into their final position so that I will be able to wear retainers at night without worrying about teeth shifting during the day.
My teeth are quite sore today, feels extra sore than usual...... this last tray is supposed to be moving only my 2 front teetht to bring them in line with the rest of my teeth (they are currently ever so slightly in front) so thats good!
I am very happy with my results but thought that the gaps where my missing teeth were would be more minimal than they are now (for those who haven't read my whole entire blog from start to finish, I had 2 teeth pulled up from my top arch prior starting invisalign to make room move my teeth back etc to get rid of my overbite) and they are still obvious when I smile big! No-one else is really going to notice this unless they are close up to me but I can notice it. I got a quote for bridges $6.5K (to do 2 x bridges) and a quote for implants $7.5K per tooth!!!!! OUCH!!!!!! So I think I will just have to leave it and accept the gaps. The main thing is all my other issues have been fixed - overbite, narrow arch, crowding, protuding front teeth with diastema and I will get them whitened when I am completely finished. So I am very happy, especially when I compare to my first trays - my teeth really were shocking!!!!!!
Anyway so I will post again in 4 weeks time with pics and details of my retainers etc :)
