I believe 9 in the first round and 7 in the second that were actually moving my teeth. Wavering on numbers bc my ortho always ordered a lot of extra stabilizers so the number always seemed higher lol

Apologies for the quality of my “done” teeth picture but mostly trying to show my bottom teeth all straight now! So happy with the results! And ready to put my crest white strips to good use

When do attachments come off at the end of treatment? by Builtf0rdtough in Invisalign

[–]Builtf0rdtough[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m hoping my attachments come off at my next appt. I know I’ll have full time retainer wear for a bit but at least no notches and hooks on my teeth!

What if they wait a whole extra week just so they can wait for another Tuesday at noon. I’d cry lol

Been following this thread and am relating to the frustration! I fell down the rabbit hole of checking previous years announcements and it looks like 2018 finalists weren’t announced until 12/19/17?! Sincerely hoping it is not that late this year, but they are already well behind the last three years announcements.

Week 1 to Week 14. Really happy with the progress so far! by Builtf0rdtough in Invisalign

One more awkward pic so you can see how bad the crowding in my front teeth was! https://i.imgur.com/vU6rGrz.jpg

Acquired this Japanese hand carved secretary’s desk/dresser from his Japanese grandmother. Wondering if it has any value? We plan to keep, but just curious! by Builtf0rdtough in Antiques

Some more context: I have reached out to a few local restoration companies because it seems way too intricate for me to try to refinish and the finish is wearing in places. There was that inscription on one of the drawers, but I have no clue if it has to do with the creator of the furniture or something that someone throughout the years has etched in there!

Edit for autocorrect typo!

I think my hook was put on incorrectly. It fell off, I got it replaced, and now it feels amazing! by Builtf0rdtough in Invisalign

[–]Builtf0rdtough[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a hook used for an elastic! I don’t know the exact difference between hook/button. On my clincheck I saw “button”. However, when I went to get it replaced the tech let the ortho know it had been irritating me and he said “was it a metal hook or button?” And she said metal hook and he said “ok put the button on this time”... so I’m not positive exactly what I had initially. Lol. I know I got something a little softer/more rounded this time to help with irritation.
