Tray 3 - Attachments

It's been a little over 3 weeks since my last post but I had to push my ortho appointment back because of my schedule. I learned that wearing the same tray for three weeks is not fun. I'm so glad to have a new one.

Today was the start of tray 3. I went to the ortho and had some attachments/buttons put on. It was the longest visit yet but it was to be expected. I have 13 attachments (8 on top, 5 on the bottom). I was so shocked by this number, I was expecting more like four...

Tray 2

Posted 08-13-2009 at 12:05 PM by anijh

I just started week 3 (tray 2) a few minutes ago. I wasn't at the orthodontist's office long, maybe 10-15 minutes total. The ortho didn't do much other than insert tray 2 in my mouth and prepare me for the next visit (a short talk on what to expect). I'm getting attachments next time so it won't be a zip in and zip out appointment. He estimated an hour.

As for this new tray, #2 is tighter than I remember tray 1 being. My mouth doesn't hurt too bad but I do feel a headache coming...

First Hour of Invisalign Treatment

It's been an hour since I visited the orthodontist to pick up my first set of trays. So far, so good. I feel no pain on my teeth, just a little pressure.

The appointment went pretty smoothly. The orthodontist put them on my teeth and then left me alone to read the Invisalign manual and to go through the starter kit.

I received the Invisalign cases (red and blue), a blue travel toothbrush (very nice), and some travel toothpaste. Not the best swag bag, but not the...

It's Official: The Choice Is...

Posted 06-20-2009 at 01:29 PM by anijh

... Invisalign.

It's been a little over three hours since I left the orthodontist office with that decision made. I visited the ortho today to discuss the records he did on my teeth last week and to make the final decision on which type of braces I would wear for the next year or so. It came down to ceramic braces and Invisalign. I chose the aligners.

After making that decision, I was supposed to set up another appointment with his office to do impressions but...
