I was able to convince my orthodontist that my appointment should be moved up from March 1 (when I should have been done, but will be on vacation), to February 25, so I wouldn't have to wear my last tray for my entire trip. Lucky for me he's pretty laid-back and didn't see the harm. I went in, got the 'ok' from him and had a permanent retainer put on my top teeth.
Before:
(the small "growth" on the left tooth is added for Invisalign and is not some actual tooth tumor)
After:
You might say that the gap I had wasn't that bad, but the gap kept getting larger, and the before photo was actually taken a couple of days after I had started wearing the trays. Plus, they are my teeth, not yours. I couldn't be happier. Other than being told I shouldn't bite into a whole apple or raw carrots with my front teeth, I think the permanent retainer is great. No more gross removable retainer (not like it fit anyway). And no more food getting stuck in the gap. Now I'm off to the beach!

I am SO jealous. I have wanted invisalign forever. Your smile looks awesome!
Love the design of the blog, however, while attempting to read it in its current state and surroundings... I'm afraid to say I'm getting vertigo.
