It feels so good to be able to run my tongue against my teeth and no longer feel strange bumps! Granted the purple goop they put into your mouth to make a model for the retainer feels a bit strange too! But, it only take a few minutes and it was welcomed because it meant the end is near.
I was just days shy of 16 months. I started wearing Invisalign on Dec 11, 2012. Today, April 10, 2014 I am attachmentless!
I'm looking forward to the retainer. I plan to wear it all day as instructed by Dr. Nguyen (Dr. WIN) and then once he gives me the go ahead, just at night!
It will be so nice to be spontaneous in food courts, at sporting events, and the movie theater! I will be able to drink, and pop food in my mouth without having to "take out my teeth" as I became fond of saying.
I won't miss the brushing and flossing every time I took out my Invisalign trays. I will miss my new family! Dr Nguyen and his staff are all fantastic, and I actually looked forward to going to my appointments to say "hi" to them all.
Next week I will start wearing my retainer. And, that sound so good!
Smiling,
Sylvia
