Whoa!

I have been SO busy. Haven't wrote a post in quite awhile. Here's your update! Last I wrote, I didn't think I was ready for my new set of retainers. But it's been a week since I changed retainers and things feel fine now. I guess my teeth were tough to move. It feels like everything is back on track. I have a check up next week to see if everything is moving correctly so I will find out for sure.

Treatment is going fast. I still have quite awhile to go (estimated to be done in May '12 so 7 more months) It is going to be so weird to not have to wear retainers. I'm so used to wearing them. I like the feeling of my teeth being supported. It also feels so gross since my teeth are currently not in their permanent positions, when I chew sometimes my teeth bite my attachments and grind on them. I can't imagine not having my retainers to protect things like that.

Also, great news....thanks to some help, I was able to pay off my remaining balance of what I owed for my treatment!!!!!! It is the most amazing feeling to know my invisalign is taken care of. I can now finish my treatment without worries. My new smile is paid and full. I can now enjoy watching the results of my smile transformation.

Is it that time already?

Almost time to switch trays, and it definitely doesn't feel like it has been almost two weeks. My retainers seem to fit a little more tightly than they should this far into the tray. It doesn't seem like it has been this long. I guess I will just see how it goes. If I have any problem, I can call my orthodontist. I calculated I have spent just about $1000 so far in treatment. The payment plan definitely helps me not realize how much money I'm spending!! But it's so worth it. I think my smile is an amazing investment.

Things are pretty boring on the teeth front otherwise. So I'll keep this post short. I'll write more when more teeth developments occur. And post pictures soon.
