... 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 I instead completed them today. He wanted me to come into the office for a visit next week but with my schedule for the next few weeks booked, I told him I would have to wait until mid-July to do the impressions. He then offered to do them today if I could be a little patient with him since there were others in the office. Of course he warned that there was no rush if I really wanted to wait until next month to complete them.

He thought it might be a good idea to have them done today if I couldn't come back until later next month because it takes about a month for the aligners to be made. It ended up being the perfect suggestion because instead of having to wait a month to do the impressions and then waiting another month for the aligners to be made, I can just go on with my life as planned and then visit him later when the aligners are in. It's almost like having no wait time since my schedule for the next 4 weeks is full with no room to visit him.

I'm so excited.
