So today I got 3 more attachments for a total of 12 attachments (7 upper/5 lower). The three new ones are on my upper front two teeth and right lateral incisor. To be honest, I'm not too crazy about them. For one thing, they're much larger than I had anticipated and to me, they catch the light in a way that makes my invisalign much less discrete. Having said that, they're probably still slightly less obvious than having ceramic braces without the wire and you still have to get pretty close to see them. It felt a bit odd eating lunch just now and they're still a bit of a stranger to my top lip but I'm sure I'll get used to them.

I guess this far into treatment, I'll just try to focus on being positive and the fact that I'm pretty close to being done my first set of refinements. Hopefully, the look of the new attachments will deter from "cheating" too much with my trays so as not to prolong treatment anymore than I have to.

I'll post update pictures when I get a chance!

    Lemon Tree,

    I have the very same attachments... didn't like them much at first, but got used to them very quickly. You'll find the same! From your blog photos, your teeth are looking fabulous, so this is just part of the process that will get you where you want to be soon!!!!

    Good luck adjusting to your new attachments and to the final stages of your first round of refinements!

    Thanks guys - no one has really noticed them yet (or maybe the folks I work with are too polite to point them out). My newly attached teeth sure are sore today though. I'll take it as an indication that they are moving.

    It sounds like you have the right attitude for this! Way to cheat less
