So I Got Some Extra Fiber!

Today I made an unplanned stop at my orthodontist!  It seems that my healthy approach to dinner last night resulted in an attachment falling off my tooth.  I had a huge plate of salad with salmon, but I think the culprit was probably the raw broccoli or carrots.  I never saw the attachment. So, I assume I must have consumed it with my veggies. Oh well, extra fiber for me!

The culprit!

The folks at the orthodontist were very nice to me. They didn't make me feel bad, or act like I was a bother.  It seemed so matter of fact. I guess I'm not the first or last person to lose an attachment.  
The process was pretty seamless. They used my current tray to create the attachment. A few cold bursts and drill noises later, I was good to go.

All better now!

It was fitting that I went in today. My orthodontist will be starting his Invisalign treatment today.  I think he will have around 13 trays and some attachments. His plan is pretty straightforward as his bottom teeth aren't too crooked.  Still, it will be nice to have an orthodontist who is going through the process at the same time as me. I joked with him about a "comfort care" call.  After my first day he called to check in with me and see how I was doing.  I'm going to send him an email this evening!

Is everything ok?

Now I'm off to eat lunch. Hopefully I won't be getting any extra fiber!
