Invisalign update

Jun 15, 2005

Went to what was supposed to be my last orthodontic appt. on June 14 (Flag Day.) and was very pleased with the results the Invisalign had produced. I had successfully completed my treatment plan, no longer did I sport the Hammersmith family front teeth split, and an overbite had been significantly lessened. I thought I was finally in the homestretch - nothing but retainers!

My glee was short lived as my orthodontist looked around, took photos and decided he had some refinements he wanted to do - shift the left tipped canine just a bit more, and turn another front tooth just so, requiring several more aligners to be created...So the home stretch has just stretched out a bit more...I don't know for how long, or how many aligners I will be getting until August 1, when I make hopefully one of my last regular trips to pick up what SHOULD BE my last few sets of aligners.

All this for the perfect smile. Imagine this: For once, I was content with what it looked like - I've now met someone even more picky than me and his name is Dr. Philbin.
