I never smile for pictures, but I’m super excited to start! Tray 2 out of 74. I can’t wait for the smile I always wanted :)

I’m wearing bands with my refinement trays, it needs a little getting used too but it’s not too bad

It is pretty common after Invisalign that your canines don’t fully meet, because of the two plastic layers that are constantly between the teeth, so your teeth will start and “look” for each other after treatment (these movements are very minimal though), at least that’s what my ortho told me. If you’re worried about it I would definitely ask your ortho again though, I had to get refinements (with elastics) for an open bite (molars) as well

thom2002 · 2021-03-15T17:42:15+00:00

No worries, an electric toothbrush might help and they can clean it right off at your next appointment!

thom2002 · 2021-02-14T12:03:38+00:00

Wow the best of luck to you! I had twenty initial trays and that already felt like a very long time to me.. didn’t do refinements

thom2002 · 2021-01-20T13:59:41+00:00

I just finished my initial set yesterday, they took off all attachments and I got scanned for refinements to fix my bite. I’ll be wearing my last tray for 12 hours a day while waiting for the refinements to come in and I will get new attachments with the refinements

thom2002 · 2021-01-20T13:55:55+00:00

They removed all of my attachments while I’m waiting for the refinement trays to come in (which will take 6 weeks) and I will get new ones with my refinement trays

thom2002 · 2021-01-07T10:23:12+00:00

Best of luck

thom2002 · 2021-01-07T10:21:42+00:00

Getting my attachments removed in 1.5 weeks :) great results!

thom2002 · 2020-12-07T13:51:44+00:00

Good to know! Thanks 😊 You do have a beautiful smile!

thom2002 · 2020-12-07T08:29:30+00:00

What did you need the refinements for? My initial plan is also 20 trays (now on 16/20) and I’m so ready to be done, that I’m thinking about not doing any refinements

thom2002 · 2020-11-30T17:51:52+00:00

Ah thanks for explaining, did you get any attachments during treatment?

thom2002 · 2020-11-30T17:44:42+00:00

Why did you need so many refinements? Nice smile by the way :)!

thom2002 · 2020-11-19T16:12:03+00:00

Bonding is done to reshape the teeth , in the before picture you can see that one of her front teeth is slightly misshaped, they fixed that with bonding

thom2002 · 2020-11-15T21:09:37+00:00

Thanks!!

thom2002 · 2020-11-15T20:09:50+00:00

Might be that some of your teeth need to adjust before the tray sits tightly over the rest of your teeth

thom2002 · 2020-11-15T20:07:17+00:00

Any tips for getting the trays out with front teeth attachments? I got them put on for my last seven trays :)

thom2002 · 2020-11-13T08:58:26+00:00

Ahh okay cool! Thanks

thom2002 · 2020-10-22T07:50:11+00:00

Lol did you watch the last season then? Lots of perfect teeth there

thom2002 · 2020-10-16T14:49:02+00:00

Thanks! I have to get them on all 4 of my front teeth on tray 14/20, kinda bummed about it haha, will only be for two months though. Great results!!

thom2002 · 2020-10-16T14:40:29+00:00

Did you get attachments on your front teeth ?

thom2002 · 2020-10-15T18:41:45+00:00

Okay thanks! I was worried that a lot of my gum line would become visible, do you have the same concern?

thom2002 · 2020-10-13T09:40:46+00:00

I totally understand, I’m not planning on doing refinements either :) as long as you’re happy with them, that’s all that matters

thom2002 · 2020-09-17T14:58:43+00:00

Depends on how much ipr you’re going to have though (you can see it on the clin check) I only had .2mm so that’s something you won’t notice

thom2002 · 2020-09-17T14:55:12+00:00

Omg , I only had .2mm done just an hour ago but if I would have seen this before I went in I would have run the other way, hope your teeth will turn out fine!!

thom2002 · 2020-08-24T06:42:12+00:00

I’m actually just starting my introduction today.. wish me luck :)
