Saw my dentist for a 6 week checkup again yesterday & all is going well. Was pleasantly surprised when she told me that both her husband & herself are also in treatment.
Also got to view my Clincheck for these next 3 sets: looks like there will be most of the movements in my premolars - widening outwards to round out my arch. More steady changes in my top & bottom anteriors as well. We discussed retainer options & because of the problems my dentist has seen with permanent wire retainers bonded to the backs of the front teeth, she does recommend using the special Invisalign retainers because of that. Apparently, the wire can sometimes shift - or even break - & before seeking treatment, the damage caused by movement is already done. OK, so that's another consideration. The Invisalign retainer will only need to be worn nightly after any refinements are finished. Possibly only needed a couple of times a week overnight after a year or so, depending on how my teeth cooperate. I'll still wait to decide until my treatment is finished - that way I can see what is working for the others finishing their treatment sooner.
