Hello.

I'm Micki. Today is my first day of Invisalign treatment. This is my second time in orthodontia. My first time was 10 years ago. I had traditional braces. When I got those taken off, I had small spaces in between my back teeth. I should have known...I should have known....

Next thing I know my teeth started to go back to their original spots. THREE retainers later...I decided to get Invisalign and a new ortho.

I have a serious overbite that was never fully addressed in my first treatment. My midlines were off. Again, my misaligned tooth was doing it's thing.

So, I had the Invisalign installed. Right before the installation, I realized that I didn't know ANYTHING about Invisalign. I was surprised that there was bonding involved. The dentist told me, but it didn't register. In addition, they rambled off a litany of dos and don'ts, wills and won'ts. I don't remember anything.

I struggled to remove the bottom tray. I removed it along with one of the rubber band hooks. FML!

I'm here to learn and for encouragement. Thanks for reading this.
