Go ahead and talk about me!

Most people, myself included, don't like to have people talk about them behind their backs. But, I'm smiling big time today because I was talked about.  My new orthodontist, Dr. Nguyen, or as I wish to call him, Dr. WIN, spoke about me to his colleagues and they devised a new treatment plan for me. The end result is that I will get the smile I want a lot sooner!  Who wouldn't be glad about that!  I will go from 38 trays down to 23.

I will probably cut my treatment time down from 1 1/2 years to just around one year!

I just put in my second Invisalign tray and I can feel the pressure has increased. But, no pain, no gain!  I wore the first tray for four weeks instead of two while I waited for the new and improved set.  The first set was getting really easy to take on and off.  I can tell this new tray will be a test for my shoddy fingernails!  Oh well, as I've said before, I want a nice smile, asking for great nails is probably just too much!  I'll put up with the breaking, fragile nails if it means I get the smile I want.

The best news today was that I really like my orthodontist. He really listened to me at our first consultation. I had expressed some concerns about the front teeth not moving for close to a year and the end result showing what they call a "black hole."  I'm sure some orthodontists would have just  listened and stopped there. But, he consulted and talked about my case with others.

I'm glad people were talking about me!


Here's to 2013 and the year of the new smile!
