Out Out Damned Spots

Whoo hoo, the dentist removed the six spots that had been welded onto my bottom teeth last June. That means we're getting into the home stretch of the Invisalign process. I just got the upper and lower retainers tonight. Have to wear 'em for the next three months to stabilize everything, and also to move the teeth a bit more towards ideal positioning (mostly the lower jaw). Then it's only at night from that point forward! Yay!

I finally got braces around my 40th birthday (several years ago now), and since they've been off I have been faithful about wearing my retainers at night. Top is Invisalign, bottom is the wire and plastic kind. I opted not to have any teeth removed to correct my overbite. I was happy enough to have them straight (especially the bottom) and there were enough complications with another tooth, trips to the oral surgeon, etc. to last me a lifetime. Now with proper hygiene I should be in fine shape. I hope all goes well with yours too!
