I used to wonder where all of those formerly avid invisalign posters/bloggers went after they disappeared off the face internet. Now I think I know. After the majority of the correction has occurred, it's not nearly exciting to track to progress from one refinement tray to the next. It feels like quite a slow process at times until I remember that I've already gotten through 6 trays. I picked up trays 7-10 earlier this afternoon and am going to take a look to see what sort of differences I can spot between refinement trays 1 to 10. Now that I'm on refinements, Dr. A is making himself more available for questions and the like. I wish I had more teeth questions with which to impress him with my eagerness to comply or exhibit my curiosity but at this point I don't have too many questions, save one. I keep seeing this little space between snaggy the little top right lateral incisor and he explained that since my front incisors are both being intruded, I'll see a bit of space there all the way through treatment.

Other than that, I've started to lose weight again since I started working out and am going to have to readjust my meals accordingly. Nothing major, it just offsets the weight I put on initially with Invisalign and seems to be able now. It's an opportune time to lose the extra bit of flab since we're headed south for a much belated honeymoon starting next week. Perhaps when I return, I'll have an update on the challenges of wearing invisalign while on vacation.

    Just remember that excellent orthodontic treatment is about the details. Getting that last bit to perfection often takes the longest but is usually the hardest.

    I could be wrong, but I seem to remember your upper teeth being extruded at the end of your Clincheck.

    Have a great honeymoon! If you don't think you'll be able to do full-time wear with the aligners, speak to your dentist and ask about increasing the wear of a couple aligners to 3 weeks.

    Thanks for the reminder and well wishes. I'm pretty sure he said intrusion which I found a bit surprising as well. Will have to take a look at the clincheck again to confirm.

    Fantastic that your refinements continue to go well!

    Have a wonderful time on your honeymoon and here's to you both enjoying the belated time away together!
