So it has almost been one week on my last set of retainers. And I'm becoming more at peace with the idea that this is my last set. At first my bite in the back was very uncomfortable, but it seems better now. My teeth will not be perfectly straight in the back, but the more I think about it, the most I seem to remember the picture they showed me didn't have the back perfectly straight. So I am beginning to think this is the best invisalign can make it. I'm sure braces could make things even better, but it would be more complicated, more expensive, and I didn't want traditional metal braces. I think I will be happy with the look of my teeth once the attachments are off, but only time will tell.
I'm actually kind of sad I won't be wearing retainers anymore. So weird. I was ready to be done (the cleaning part is gross), but I really don't like the feeling without retainers. I'm so used to them, it feels weird when they're not on for awhile. Like my teeth aren't being supported. I'm sure it will take getting used to just like it was getting used to wearing them.
But I am excited to start some teeth whitening. I have about 3 weeks to go until I have my attachments taken off and I'm done. But I will definitely be monitoring my teeth and addressing any concerns I have before that happens. I wonder how they get the attachments off? More researching for me!
