I'm still here but I have to confess I'm getting lazier and lazier with my updates. In case you're wondering, I'm now changing up my lower trays (in my last 3 overcorrection trays) more slowly than my top ones to avoid wearing the last tray for months on end. I've gotten a lot more questions about my invisalign trays(after close 1.5 years of wearing them!) since I got my new attachments. Mostly people are just curious or considering getting them themselves.

I've been a rather bad girl with my trays lately... Especially this past weekend since I was at an engagement party and a wedding. I managed to nurse a glass of wine, squeeze in a few courses, discretely brushed my teeth and put my trays back in a few hours later at the wedding without any trouble. What a far cry from the beginning of my treatment when I was hopelessly neurotic and on edge!

I've noticed since I've gotten my new attachments that my teeth are a lot more sore after each tray change and there seems to be more visible changes in my teeth. Sometimes I feel like I want things to be over with and slow down at the same time (so that they can be perfectly positioned before I finish this round). Most of the time, they're part of my everyday routine and I don't pay that much attention to them anymore.

    Your teeth look great in your photos!!!! The attachments are not very visible at all, and it looks like you are coming to the end of active treatment, yes?!

    I was the same way at the beginning of treatment; I am still very compliant, but I no longer actually write down the exact time I removed the trays and the exact time I put them back in. Funny how things change, eh?!

    Congrats!

    Wow ... your teeth continue to look more and more amazing!

    You must be so thrilled that you started this treatment!

    Here's to everything continuing to go smoothly!

    PM: Thanks. it is so funny how the initial overzealousness dies down eventually. can't keep it up forever i suppose!

    Thanks Sunny - I'm so glad I did. My teeth don't even look like the ones I started out with anymore (which is a good thing!)
